  • Page 27: Client Modules

    MMAC-Plus Management Views Redund Two or more power supplies are installed in the MMAC-Plus Available chassis. The system is using load sharing, in which each installed power supply provides equal power (±5%) to the system. The MMAC-Plus chassis also has a redundant source of power, since if one power supply fails, the other installed supplies assume the load (assuming that the total power draw on all power supplies prior to failure did not exceed 100% capacity of the remaining supplies).

  • Page 28: Module Power View

    MMAC-Plus Management Views Power Gauge The Power gauge graphically indicates the current power draw by each client module as a percentage of its normal maximum power consumption (from the 57 volt DC Intelligent Power Supply).
