Connect Power Cords to the Rack

1. At the facilities breaker panel, verify that all breakers for the rack are in the Off position.

   Caution  -  If the circuit breakers are in the On position, destructive sparking might occur when you attach the AC cables to the rack.

2. Open the rear cabinet door.
3. Verify that the switches on the PDUs are in the Off position.

   Ensure that both PDUs are turned completely off.

   PDU-A is at the left side of the cabinet. PDU-B is at the right. Each PDU has six switches (circuit breakers), one for each socket group.
