Planning power for the rack
Plan to provide two separate site power source connections to power the FlashSystem 9500R rack solution.
- The included cables that connect each PDU to site power are 4.2 meters long.
- Ensure that each site power supply is compatible with the supplied PDUs and connection cables.
- Ensure that each of the two site power supplies can provide enough power for all components in the FlashSystem 9500R rack.
- Refer to Control enclosure environmental requirements, which has links related to physical installation planning for control enclosures and expansion enclosures.
- Refer to Fibre Channel switch power requirements in Product specifications.
- Refer to PDU specifications in Intelligent Switched Power Distribution Unit Plus (PDU+) and power cord options for the IBM Storage FlashSystem rack solution.
