Power supplies
The x3690 X5 power subsystem consists of up to four hot-pluggable 675W auto-sensing power supplies.
The modules are independently powered by AC line cords. Most standard models have one or two power
supplies as standard; workload-optimized models have all four standard. An AC power supply ships
standard with one 2.8 m C13 - C14 power cord.
One power supply is sufficient when the total power budget is less than 675W. Use the IBM System x and
BladeCenter® Power Configurator to determine the power requirements of your configuration. The Power
Configurator is available at
http://www.ibm.com/systems/bladecenter/resources/powerconfig.html
For power budgets under 675W, installing a second power supply provides redundancy. To install a
second power supply, use the IBM High Efficiency 675W Power Supply, part number 60Y0332. Installing
four power supplies ensures redundancy even with a fully loaded server. To install the third and fourth
power supplies, use the IBM 675W Redundant Power Supply Kit, part number 60Y0327. The power
subsystem is designed for N+N operation and hot-swap exchange. Having four power supplies installed
allows for N+N redundancy, where N=2 (that is, a total of four power supplies where two are redundant
backups for the other two). The following table lists the part numbers.
The MAX5 V1 has one power supply standard and a second optional power supply for redundancy. See
the MAX5 section for details. The MAX5 V2 has two power supplies installed. No further power supplies
are needed or available.
