    APPENDIX E: CPU AND POWER SUPPLY REDUNDANCY General The ACE3600 CPU and power supply redundant configuration enables installation of two redundant CPUs (CPU3680 only) and two redundant power supply modules. The redundant CPU configuration is supported only by the CPU 3680 module, which enables motherboard Ethernet interconnection between the two CPUs.

    Appendix E: CPU and Power Supply Redundancy Figure E-1 ACE3600 Redundant CPU and Power Supply Configuration Redundant CPU Redundant CPU Behavior • When redundant CPUs (ACE3680 only) are used, the CPU in the leftmost CPU slot (to the right of the first power supply) is the primary CPU. The CPU in the rightmost CPU slot is the secondary CPU.

    Appendix E: CPU and Power Supply Redundancy becomes active. Redundancy switchover occurs within 10 msec of loss of active CPU control (i.e. if the active CPU does not reset the watchdog for more than 5 msec, if the active CPU resets, or if the active CPU is removed from its slot.) The ACE3680 CPUs include an internal Ethernet 100 Mb/s port used for redundancy only.
  • Page 379 Appendix E: CPU and Power Supply Redundancy It is also possible to order a secondary 12V power supply (dual power supply configuration) instead of the blank power supply module. In this case a dual power cable connecting between the Power junction box and the two power supplies will be provided too. Note: The redundant power supply configuration can be ordered with the 12V power supply only.
