Dell EMC Exam D-PE-OE-23 Topic 2 Question 9 Discussion

To change the Power Supply Unit (PSU) configuration to a 2+0 setup with PSU2 as the primary in the iDRAC interface, follow these steps:

Step-by-Step Guide:

Navigate to Power Management Settings:

In the iDRAC interface, go to the Configuration tab at the top.

Select Power Management from the dropdown options.

Locate the Power Configuration Section:

Within the Power Management settings, look for a section labeled Power Configuration or Power Supply Configuration.

Select the Redundancy Policy:

Change the Redundancy Policy to 2+0. In this configuration, there will be no redundancy, and both power supplies will be active but configured as independent power sources without failover.

Set PSU2 as the Primary PSU:

Locate the option to designate the Primary PSU. Select PSU2 as the primary power source.

This setting ensures that PSU2 will handle the primary power load under normal conditions.

Apply and Save Changes:

Once you have made these changes, click Apply or Save to confirm the new configuration.

The interface may prompt for confirmation, after which the settings will be saved, and PSU2 will become the primary power supply under a 2+0 configuration.

Verify Configuration:

Review the updated settings to confirm that PSU2 is now set as primary and that the redundancy policy is 2+0, meaning only PSU2 is actively providing power without a secondary backup.

By following these steps in the iDRAC simulator, you will set up PSU2 as the primary power source with no redundancy, ensuring a 2+0 configuration. This setup will leverage PSU2 exclusively without automatic failover to another power supply.
