Hello,
For the MDS 9718 Grid Redundancy, the minimum number of Power Supplies
depends on the Modules installed.
Please see:
Table 5-19 AC PSU Requirements for Grid Redundancy
Here is the ordering information:
I hope this helps you.

In the Cisco MDS 9710 Director Overview document, figure 1-1 needs to be updated to properly reflect the components of the Chassis. Details of grid redundancy for the MDS 9710 switch needs to be documented.

1- System LEDs
2- Rack-mount bracket
3- Switching modules (1 to 4)
4- Supervisor modules (1 to 2)
5- Switching modules (5 to 8)
6- Power supply modules
7- Handles used for adjusting the chassis placement
Needs to be updated as follows:
#3 - Switching modules (1 to 8)
#5 - Power supply modules
#6 - Handles used for adjusting the chassis placement
#7 - N/A
Also, details of power supply grid redundancy (Grid A and Grid B) as well as slot location should be documented.
