Input power requirements

Two independent sets of power outlets are required for system power cords for connecting to customer Power Distribution Units (PDUs).

To prevent system outages or a single point of failure, independent power feeds to each PDU are recommended.

Important: At least one of the power feeds must have power conditioning to ensure an acceptable level of power quality. For example, ANSI Standard C84.1 or EN Standard 50160. For input voltage and frequency requirements, see Table 1 and Table 2.
The rack mount may be powered by either single-phase or three-phase power.
  • Systems with 1 CPC drawer may use either single-phase or three-phase PDUs.
  • Systems with 2 CPC drawers must use three-phase PDUs.
