Hot spare feature
Your system supports the hot spare feature that significantly reduces the power overhead associated with power supply unit (PSU)
redundancy.
When the hot spare feature is enabled, one of the redundant PSUs is switched to the sleep state. The active PSU supports 100 percent of
the system load, thus operating at higher efficiency. The PSU in the sleep state monitors output voltage of the active PSU. If the output
voltage of the active PSU drops, the PSU in the sleep state returns to an active output state.
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 of PSU rated power wattage, then the redundant PSU is switched to the active
state.
•
If the load on the active PSU falls below 20 percent of PSU rated power wattage, 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, see the iDRAC User’s Guide available at
Removing a power supply unit blank
Prerequisites
Follow the safety guidelines listed in
Steps
If you are installing a second power supply unit, remove the power supply unit blank in the bay by pulling the blank outward.
CAUTION:
To ensure proper system cooling, the power supply unit blank must be installed in the second power supply
unit bay in a non-redundant configuration. Remove the power supply unit blank only if you are installing a second power
supply unit.
