# Rackmount Redundant 12V Power Supply [](./hardware/redundant12v/photos/supply-large.jpg) This is a redundant, but not hot-swappable, 12VDC power supply. It has these features: - Two AC cords. Either cord can lose AC power without disrupting the 12VDC output. - Five 12VDC output jacks. Any individual jack can supply ~6A maximum but the supply is only capable of providing ~16A maximum across all jacks. - Remote monitoring. A serial port provides a simple "on/off" status that indicates when one of the two onboard DC supplies loses its AC power or otherwise fails. It is built on a 1U rack shelf but requires at least 2U because it is slightly taller than 1U. The extra air space is also needed for cooling because the supply has no fans. ## Background Rackmount [Automatic Transfer Switches](https://web.archive.org/web/20220408134749/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSWmmY9tKrM) from companies such as [APC](https://web.archive.org/web/20220408135631if_/https://download.schneider-electric.com/files?p_File_Name=BSTY-AQNP38_R0_EN.pdf&p_Doc_Ref=SPD_BSTY-AQNP38_EN&p_enDocType=Catalog) and [CyberPower](https://web.archive.org/web/20220408140138if_/https://www.cyberpower.com/tw/en/File/GetCyberpowerFileByDocId/DS-21040002-01) can be used to provide AC power redundancy for devices with a single AC cord. I wanted redundant power for the single-corded devices in my rack and noticed that they all ran off 12VDC power bricks. Instead of buying an ATS unit and plugging the bricks into it, I built this redundant 12VDC supply to eliminate the bricks. It can be built for less than the cost of most ATS units. ## Parts List | Part | Qty | Notes | |------|-----|-------| |[Meanwell ERDN40-12 12VDC Redundancy Module](https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/709-ERDN40-12) | 1 | [Datasheet](https://web.archive.org/web/20220407021145if_/https://www.meanwell.com/upload/pdf/ERDN40/ERDN40-spec.pdf) | |[Meanwell MSP-200-12 12VDC 16.7A Power Supply](https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/709-MSP200-12) | 2 | [Datasheet](https://web.archive.org/web/20220407021309if_/https://www.mouser.com/datasheet/2/260/MSP_200_SPEC-1109886.pdf).
