4.8 Powering the Encore3

About powering an Encore3

The Encore3 has two redundant power supplies. Both power supplies can divide the power needs of the Encore3 equally. When one power supply fails, the other will provide the full power to keep the Encore3 running. For this reason, it is strongly advised to always connect both power supplies.

Each power supply has two indicator lights to signal its status:
