Re: 270 Power supply

[Larry Bolhuis <lbolhuis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

270 does NOT have redundant OR hot swappable power supplies!! There can 
be two if you have the expansion side but they are BOTH required in that 
case. The 820 does have hot swappable supplies if you have three of 
them. Early 820 power supplies sucked and were rapidly replaced. 
(because most of them died!)
