Hi Jay,

On Technical Overview documentation:

On E980 and E1080, the system design provides N+2 redundancy for system bulk power, which allows the system
to continue operation with any two of the power supply units functioning.

On E950, the power supplies are N(3)+1 redundancy.

On E1050 power supplies feature 3+1 redundancy.  When 1 PSU is defective during runtime, the system continues to run with full
performance.  When 2 PSU is defective during runtime, system continues to run but may throttle as needed.

Regards
