Power Supply Redundancy
During normal operation, the Acme Packet 6300/6350 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 6300/6350 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 6300/6350 starts up
with only one power supply, it will not generate an alarm.
AC Power
The handle on the front panel of the power supply is used to insert and remove the
power supply from the chassis. The grey locking handle, when moved from right to left,
unlocks the power supply from the chassis.
