Configuring Power Supply Requirements Override

Use the Power Supply Requirements Override option to override the normal power supply requirements of the system.

The server can operate with various workloads and configurations with the required power supplies installed. This option modifies the power supply requirements of the system to enable operation with one power supply and redundancy. It can also modify power supply requirements of the system to enable operation with two power supplies and redundancy with three power supplies.

NOTE:

Use the Power Advisor to confirm the power supply requirements of the system before enabling any of the options that override the default power supply requirements.
