Abstract
A power distribution system, for use in computer systems and switchable to distribute uninterruptable power received from either of a first or a second power supply, includes a first and a second power input receptacle each being connected to the first and second power supplies respectively. A switch is connected to both the first and the second power input receptacles and is for switching between power received at the first power input receptacle from the first power supply and power received at the second input power receptacle from the second power supply. Two outputs, each with multiple outlet connectors, are connected to the switch and are used for distributing and outputting the power received from either of the first or second power supplies.
