Hello:

I have C7000 Enclosure with 6 power supply. (1-6)

Power Supply 1-3 connect to power Source A

Power Supply 4-6 connect to power Source B

Enclosurepower Redundant Config as "AC Redundant"

May I know does this config will not cause outage when either Power Source A or B out of power?

Thanks!

The answer is yes.

AC Redundant: In this configuration N power supplies are used to provide power and N are used to provide redundancy, where N can equal 1, 2 or 3. When correctly wired with redundant AC line feeds this will ensure that an AC line feed failure will not cause the enclosure to power off.

Since you have it configured this way you can lose one side or the other and the servers will stay online.
