The Data Center Configuration pane provides information that allows the administrator to ensure that power is supplied appropriately to the Oracle PCA.
Each rack has two pre-installed power distribution units (PDUs). The PDUs accept different power sources. You must specify the type of PDU that is correct for your data center.
Steps:
Verify that the PDUs installed are correct for your data center power source: 22 or 24kVA for low or high voltage.
PDU power cords are 4 meters, or 13.1 feet, long. Up to 1.5 meters, or 4.9 feet, is routed within the rack cabinet. AC power receptacles must be within 2 meters, or 6.6 feet, of the rack.
Use dedicated AC breaker panels for all power circuits that supply power to the PDU.
Use dedicated AC breaker panels for all power circuits that supply power to the compute nodes. Compute nodes require electrical circuits to be grounded to the Earth.
NoteCircuit breakers are supplied by the customer. One circuit breaker is required for each power cord.
In addition to circuit breakers, provide a stable power source, such as an uninterruptable power supply (UPS) to reduce the possibility of component failures.
Racks are shipped with grounding-type power cords (three-wire). Always connect the cords to grounded power outlets. Verify the correct grounding method for your location.
