3.1.3 Power
Everything on the Laser Platform runs on 48v DC. The LSB modules have DC to DC con-
verters onboard which provide the required logic voltages. Each PIU has its own regulator(s)
which generate the required internal DC voltages from the 48v input. The one exception is
the battery PIU which uses 48v directly, as does the air mover.
The 48v is provided by up to three 240v AC to 48v Regulators (H7263). The cabinet requires
3 phase mains input, 1 phase supplying each regulator. A fully configured cabinet will run
with 2 regulators, thus 3 provides N + 1 redundancy. Most systems seem to come with just
1 regulator, which makes the platform a single phase load. This may mean moving the
regulators (and batteries, if fitted) around to balance loads in multiple system installations.
See Advanced Troubleshooting Manual, appendix B, for how to calculate when a second
regulator is required. ("Base system" = 1 CPU, 1 Memory, 1 IOP, 1 XMI, 1 DEMNA and 1
regulator). See Section 3.3.6, Battery PIU for battery information.
Note that, as the cabinet does not have a traditional power controller, there are no switched
or unswitched 240v AC outlets. This means a separate socket has to be found for the console.
