Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use one power cord to power all of the power supplies in the 995 server?

A: No. Power supply number 1 (PS1) is powered by power cord number 1 (AC1) only, and PS2 can only be powered by AC2. In the event that you have three power supplies installed in the server, AC1 and AC2 both provide power to the third power supply (PSSHARE) by means of a switching device within the power subsystem. This switching mechanism provides complete fault tolerance for the power subsystem to assure that in the event that a power supply or a power cord/outlet fails, the server remains fully operational.
