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.
