Power supply modules

The WebSphere DataPower XC10 Appliance is powered by two fully redundant 650 watt power supply modules. A single power supply module can supply enough power to support appliance operations. The power supply modules can be hot-swapped, which means that you can replace a single power supply module without powering down the appliance.

Each power supply module contains two fans. Failure of at least one fan causes the power supply module to overheat and generate messages.

At the rear of the appliance, each power supply module has an LED light that indicates its operational state.

Data storage unit

WebSphere DataPower XC10 Appliance comes with the hard disk array to provide log file storage. The hard disk array is part of the hard disk drive module. This module includes two 146 GB disks in a RAID 1 configuration and includes two fans. The disks operate as a single, mirrored volume. The disks cannot be used as two discrete disks.

You must replace the hard disk drive module if one of the fans becomes inoperable. A replacement hard disk drive module does not contain the disks. For a replacement hard disk drive module, you use the existing disks. If an individual disk becomes inoperable, you can replace that disk.

LED diagnostic panel

The rear panel of WebSphere DataPower XC10 Appliance includes an LED diagnostic panel with six LED lights. The layout is three LED lights in two rows, as shown in the following image.

Table 3. LED diagnostic panel . The following table shows what each LED light represents.
Position of light Meaning
Top row, left The state of the fans in the hard disk drive module
Top row, center The state of the Drive 0 hard disk
Top row, right The state of the Drive 1 hard disk
Bottom row, left The state of the battery
Bottom row, center The state of the fans in the fan module 2
Bottom row, right The state of the fans in the fan module 1

Battery

The appliance is equipped with a CR2 3 V lithium battery. The battery cannot power the appliance. The appliance must be connected to active AC power sources for the appliance to process transactions. The battery maintains the following internal components only:
  • The real-time clock
  • Static RAM-based memory, that contains various global parameters which include the current date and time for the appliance
Attention: Complete power failure (no AC power to the appliance with a missing or depleted battery) for seven days activates the intrusion switch. Activation of the intrusion switch renders the appliance inoperable. After seven days, you might need to return the appliance to IBM® for remanufacturing.

Leave the appliance connected to active AC power sources. Do not turn off the appliance when the battery must be replaced. The hardware monitors the capacity of the battery. The hardware generates critical messages when the capacity is less than 10%.

Fan modules

The appliance includes two fan modules. Each fan module holds four individual fan motors. If one fan motor fails, you must replace the entire fan module to maintain the required air flow.

The fans normally operate between the cold chassis speeds and maximum speeds. The failure threshold is set to a speed that is 20% lower than the cold chassis speed.

Table 4. Fan speeds in RPM. The following table lists the speeds for the front and rear fans in revolutions per minute (RPM) on the appliance.
  Minimum Cold chassis Maximum Failure threshold
Front 2900 5280 16100 2000
Rear 2300 4880 12400 2000
  • The front fans are five-blade fans.
  • The rear fans are four-blade fans.
