That's really interesting - I noticed at the bottom of the config that each PS looks like it is only generating 1150W.
PS1 Capacity: 1153.32 Watts (27.46 Amps @42V) PS2 Capacity: 1153.32 Watts (27.46 Amps @42V) I'm guessing that somewhere along the way, a check was added for this situation and CatOS assumes the lower capacity PS to be the 'correct' Wattage for both. Just a guess. Although it appears to function, I don't know that I'd trust it completely or if TAC would have an issue with it.
