That should probably have read in a well designed and fully populated 
chassis... I personally know for a fact that the Dell blade chassis 
can be fully loaded and operate with only two of four power supplies 
when fully loaded on the old 10 slot chassis and 3 of 6 in the new 16 
slot chassis when fully loaded. HP also claims the C7000 chassis is 
fully redundant with only 3 of 6 power supplies. This is true for all 
configurations I have ever seen.
