That should probably have read in a well designed and fully populated chassis... I personally know for a fact that the Dell blade chassis can be fully loaded and operate with only two of four power supplies when fully loaded on the old 10 slot chassis and 3 of 6 in the new 16 slot chassis when fully loaded. HP also claims the C7000 chassis is fully redundant with only 3 of 6 power supplies. This is true for all configurations I have ever seen. -Robert Tellurian Networks - Global Hosting Solutions Since 1995 http://www.tellurian.com | 888-TELLURIAN | 973-300-9211 "Well done is better than well said." - Benjamin Franklin
