NO.11 A customer has recently deployed a number of Cisco MDS 9509 Multilayer Directors in a new data
center. At the time of deployment, it was discovered that 110V AC power circuits had been installed
instead of the high-voltage 220V AC circuits that had been ordered. The customer decided to install one
of the directors and use the 110V AC circuit. The MDS 9509 is configured with two 2500W AC power
supplies. The power supplies are configured in redundant mode.
What is the redundant power capacity of the MDS 9509 in this scenario?
A. 1300
B. 2500
C. 2600
D. 5000
