Redundancy
During normal operation, the Acme Packet 4500 is load-balanced and draws power
from both supplies. The two power supplies also provide hardware redundancy. If a
power supply fails, the Acme Packet 4500 can rely on only one functional power
supply to sustain normal operation. A malfunctioning power supply must be
removed and replaced as soon as possible. If the Acme Packet 4500 starts up with
only one power supply, it will not generate an alarm.
AC Power
The auto-sensing AC power supply is rated at 110-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, and comes
with an IEC connector. You insert and remove the power supply from the system
chassis by its handle. Use the locking screw to lock the power supply into the chassis.
