Abstract
An isolated power input architecture that includes hot swappable input modules that are electrically isolated from each other so that each may provide input power to power supplies for an electronic device without adverse interactions between the voltages provided by each input module. The isolated input modules are each configured to lock the other out so that only one input module is providing power to the power supplies for the electronic device. The power supply for the electronic device preferably includes N+1 power supplies where N power supplies are required by the electronic device. Either of the isolated input modules provides enough power to supply power to all the N+1 power supplies.
