The power current of Nx2 described in this table is required for operation by a single power supply unit. 2
When one of the two power supply units fails, the other power supply provides the total power to the unit that the two supplies together did before the failure. The operating power supply therefore draws the same current as the two supplies did before the failure. To make sure that either power supply can operate in this manner, ensure that the PDUs in the rack can supply twice the normal power of the units plugged into it.
