Each power distribution unit (PDU) must be attached to a dedicated facility circuit.
Each Oracle FS System component (Pilots, Controllers, and Drive Enclosures) must have its power supplies connected to separate PDU circuits to ensure complete redundancy of power.
The PDUs used in a not-racked Oracle FS System installation must provide redundancy for both external AC power source and internal AC power distribution to the components. The PDUs must provide sufficient current to meet the sum of the requirements for the Oracle FS System components.
Oracle PDUs might be purchased for use with non-Oracle racks. The Oracle FS System component power cords have been designed to work with vertical style Oracle or third party PDUs. Non-Oracle PDUs must be compatible with Oracle component power cord lengths and plug types. Non-Oracle PDUs must be mounted in a manner such that the power cords provided by Oracle might be used and the PDUs do not obstruct the ability to replace field replaceable units (FRUs) and customer serviceable units (CRUs).
While planning rack-space, ensure that adequate space is also allocated for the PDUs, if using non-Oracle PDUs.
