B. Power Supply Specifications
The base redundant system consists of one hot‑swap 570W Energy Smart power supply in a 1+1
configuration. An 870W High Output power supply is also available.
The power supplies connect indirectly to the planar via the Power Distribution Board (PDB). There is
a power cable that connects between the PDB and the backplane. Another cable also connects the
PDB to the optical and/or tape drives. The PS bay sheet metal is formed as key to prevent unsupported
power supply from being installed in a PowerEdge T610 system.
Starting with this generation of Dell servers, the power supplies no longer have a FRU (Field Replaceable
Units) EEPROM; FRU data is now stored in the memory of the PSU Microcontroller. Additionally, the PSU
Firmware can now be updated by the iDRAC over the PMBus. Power is “soft‑switched,” allowing power
cycling via a switch on the front of the system
enclosure, or via software control (through server
management functions). The power system is compatible
with industry standards, such as ACPI and the
Microsoft
®
Windows Server
®
H/W Design Guide.
In a single power supply configuration, the power supply is installed in PS1 location and a blank module
(metal cover) is installed in PS2 location for factory consistency. Electrically, the system can operate with
a single power supply in either bay.
