Dell Precision 7920 Rack Owner's Manual

Power supply units

The power supply unit (PSU) is an internal hardware component which supplies power to the components in the system.

Your system supports the following:

  • Two 1600 W or 1100 W AC power supply units (PSUs)
NOTE:For more information, see the Technical specifications section.
CAUTION:If two PSUs are installed, both the PSUs must have the Extended Power Performance (EPP) label. Mixing PSUs (even the PSUs that have the same power rating) from previous generations of Precision workstation is not supported. This results in a PSU mismatch condition or failure to turn the system on.
NOTE:When two identical PSUs are installed, power supply redundancy (1+1 – with redundancy or 2+0 – without redundancy) is configured in system BIOS. In redundant mode, power is supplied to the system equally from both PSUs when Hot Spare is disabled. When Hot Spare is enabled, one of the PSUs will be put into sleep mode when system utilization is low in order to maximize efficiency.
NOTE:If two PSUs are used, they must be of the same maximum output power.
