Features
Performance, ease of use, reliability, and expansion capabilities ere key considerations in the design of
your system. These design features make it possible for the user to customize the system hard are to meet
the needs today and provide flexible expansion capabilities for the future.
Chassis feature
• Redundant optional power capabilities
The chassis supports up to three 1300- att, 1600- att, or 2700- att hot-s ap CRPS AC po er supplies,
hich provide redundancy.
Important: Po er supplies and redundant po er supplies in the chassis must be of the same brand,
po er rating, attage, or efficiency level, ith the same latch color.
• Chassis management
The chassis midplane ith PSoC (Programmable System on Chip) allo s monitor and management of
nodes and po er supply units in the chassis. A chassis caretaker node is selected by the PSoC
firm are for chassis management.
For the management interface, see https://pubs.lenovo.com/lxcc-overvie /. In XCC, certain management
functions can only be performed by the caretaker node, hereas other functions can be performed by all
nodes.
