Balde Power Enclosre redundancy

[Navaneeda Kumar]

I have 2 Power enclosurs, each installed with 4 power supplies in single phase line.
what is the procedure to make the power redundancy between the two power enlosures.
is any one can explain it???

Thanks,

use
HP BladeSystem p-Class Dual Power Input Kit with mini bus bar
or scalable bus bar

hi,
Can You explain the procedure. The PDF seems to be not clear.

there is not much to tell about, four cables that you can fit only one way by shape design

Navaneeda,

A few other things to remember -

1) Install the 'Load Balancing Signal Cable' between the existing Power Enclosure (PE) & the new PE.

It is a 6 inch long, 3 or 4 pin black cable that links both PE's.

The connector is found on the rear of each PE, on the left hand side.

2) Connect the 'blue' RJ45 'management cable' between the existing PE & the new PE.

3) Check that both PE's are in the same power zone... there is a very small switch on the PE management module to select this.

4) Ensure that the Power & Blade Enclosure firmware is the same version on ALL enclosures - if they are not you may get strange error messages and the 'rack view' in SIM (& iLO) may not look right.

Hope this helps.

External load-balancing signal cable, used for LOAD SHARING not for redundancy
It's 3 pin aprox 9"
If firmware 2.30 don't worry for Power Zone as it will set all to zone 3 automatically

I would assume if it's new install lowest firmware that came with HW 2.20
In environment 2.20 and 2.30 would be fine with 3U power enclosures
If 1U used than would be recommended 2.30
