If having both PSUs active is more efficient than having one PSU in the sleep state, the active PSU can also activate the sleeping PSU.
The default PSU settings are as follows:
•
If the load on the active PSU is more than 50 percent, then the redundant PSU is switched to the active state.
•
If the load on the active PSU falls below 20 percent, then the redundant PSU is switched to the sleep state.
You can configure the hot spare feature by using the iDRAC settings. For more information about iDRAC settings, see the
