Installing additional iPDUs

The rear of the rack contains cutouts for additional iPDUs. The cutouts for the iPDUs are located on the upper right side and the upper left side of the rack (see  1  in Figure 1 and  2  in Figure 1).

Complete the following steps to install the two additional iPDUs into the rack:

  1. Install the four nut clips (PN 178837) in the top right iPDU cutout.
  2. Insert the iPDU (PN 00FW787) into the top right cutout.
  3. Insert the four screws (PN 17P8838) into the iPDU and tighten.
  4. Install the four nut clips (PN 178837) in the top left iPDU cutout.
  5. Insert the iPDU (PN 00FW787 ) into the top left cutout.
  6. Insert the four screws (PN 17P8838) into the iPDU and tighten.
Attention: The iPDUs for directors (PN 00FW787) have a maximum total current capacity of 24 amps. Ensure that attached devices do not exceed this capacity.

Figure 1 shows how the power cords should be looped inside the rack. Be sure that the cords do not loop below the lower rack brace.
