The Silicon Graphics redundant power supply is a power supply option for the Silicon Graphics Origin2000 deskside or rackmount system. This option enables a system to continue operation after a power supply failure; a Silicon Graphics System Support Engineer can easily replace a failed module while the system operates normally.
The firmware for the redundant power supply requires IRIX version 6.5.4 with patch 3658, or an appropriate version of IRIX later than 6.5.4. The Origin2000 system shipping with the redundant power supply has the appropriate IRIX version.
The redundant power supply requires a 220-volt outlet.
 | Warning: The Origin2000 system uses electrical power internally that is hazardous if the equipment is improperly handled. Only Silicon Graphics System Support Engineers or other personnel trained by Silicon Graphics are qualified to replace a failed power supply, power supply module, or fan tray. |
