About AC power supplies
The VIPRION® 2200 platform supports one to two hot swappable AC power supplies. The power supplies are auto-ranging 100-240VAC input.
The platform supports power redundancy, which ensures that the system is unaffected if a single power supply fails in a system containing more than one power supply.

About DC power supplies
The VIPRION® 2200 platform supports up to two hot swappable DC power supplies.
The platform supports power redundancy, which ensures that the system is unaffected if a single power supply fails in a system containing more than one power supply. The DC power supply includes a DC input connector.
The DC power supply does not have an on/off switch. You can control the power from the rack switch or the DC power source.

About the fan tray
The VIPRION® 2200 platform has a removable fan tray that is designed to maintain airflow throughout the chassis. You can change or replace the fan tray as part of the routine maintenance of the unit, or in the event of a fan failure. The fans in the fan tray run constantly while the unit is on. Over time, the fans can wear out, requiring you to replace the fan tray.
