About AC power requirements
When working with an AC-powered VIPRION® platform, it is important to understand the AC power options and requirements.
About AC power cables
The power cable supplied with the hardware is a 220V high-line input cable. This type of cable requires a NEMA 6-20R wall outlet or a region-specific equivalent. For 115V VAC low-line input, a different cable is available that uses a NEMA 5-20P, or region-specific equivalent. Region-specific power cables are available from F5® Networks.
AC power redundancy provisioning
The platform supports one to four AC power supplies. The power supplies are auto-ranging 90VAC to 240VAC input. Each slot is provisioned to draw up to 600W, therefore, one power supply with low-line input can support two blades with no redundancy, or the same supply with high-line input can support up to three blades. This table shows some of the possible blade and power supply redundancy configurations.
No redundancy | 1 + 1 redundancy | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
Blade quantity | Supplies (low-line) | Supplies (high-line) | Supplies (low-line) | Supplies (high-line) |
1 (600W) | 1 (1200W available) | 1 (2000W available) | 2 (1200W available) | 2 (2000W available) |
2 (1200W) | 1 (1200W available) | 1 (2000W available) | 2 (1200W available) | 2 (2000W available) |
3 (1800W) | 2 (2400W available) | 1 (2000W available) | 4 (2400W available) | 2 (2000W available) |
4 (2400W) | 2 (2400W available) | 2 (4000W available) | 4 (2400W available) | 4 (4000W available) |
AC platform power consumption (low-line input)
The actual amount of power draw from the AC source depends on the type and number of blades and the power supply AC source voltage and redundancy configuration. This table shows several possible configurations for low-line input voltage (110 VAC) and the typical and maximum power draw.
