ABSTRACT:
A computer system employing redundant power distribution. A computer system includes power distribution boards arranged to distribute power such that the computer system may continue to operate if there is any single point of power failure. The computer system includes a first plurality of circuit boards, a plurality of switch circuit boards and a first and second power distribution board. The plurality of switch circuit boards may be coupled to the first plurality of circuit boards and may convey address and data information between the first plurality of circuit boards. The first power distribution board and the second power distribution board may be coupled to independently distribute power to each of the first plurality of circuit boards. At least two of the first plurality of circuit boards may be coupled to independently distribute power to each of the plurality of switch circuit boards.
