Caution - Your site must have a local power disconnect (for example, circuit breakers) between the power source and the power cords. Ensure that these circuit breakers are set to off before connecting the power cords. |
Caution - Ensure that you install the server near your power grid's electrical outlets, and ensure that these outlets are easily accessible in case you must detach the power cords in an emergency. |
The server receives power from six PDU power cords. The server is designed to receive power from two separate power grids, with three PDU power cords receiving power from one power grid and the remaining three PDU power cords receiving power from a second power grid. You must connect all six PDU power cords.
Review the PDU Power Cord Specifications and Facility Power Receptacles to ensure that you received the correct power cords for your facility.
Review the Understanding Power Cord-to-PDU Relationships to understand which power cord supplies power to which power supply.
Review the Facility Power Requirements.
Review the Circuit Breaker Capacity Requirements to ensure that the circuit breakers accommodate your facility power infrastructure.
Consult with your facilities manager or a qualified electrician for the specific instructions on how to use the circuit breakers at your data center.
