Power/cooling mo
dules
Each power/cooli
ng module integrates an independent power supply
and blowers into a
single module. The power supply in each module
is an auto-rangin
g, power-factor-corrected, multi-output, offline
converter.
The power/cooli
ng modules, A and B, are located above the SPs
or LCCs. They sha
re load currents and provide power and cooling
foranentireen
closure. An SP, LCC, or power/cooling module with
power-related
faults does not adversely affect the operation of any
other componen
t. If one power/cooling module fails, the other
compensates u
ntil the failed module is replaced. If the failed module is
in a dual-SP DP
E-AX, the system also disables write caching. Removing
a power/cooli
ng module from the enclosure causes a cooling fault that
will shut dow
n the enclosure within two minutes.
