Connecting the power cords
Connect all of the storage shelves and the compute node to the Power Distribution Unit in the rack. Typically a rack has one PDU on each side at the rear of the hardware. Two PDU strips provide redundant power.
Note:
Ensure that the position of the power switches is off before the power cables are plugged in.
To connect the power cords
- Obtain two power cords for each unit.
- Note that the storage shelf cords have a right-angled connector on the end that connects to the shelf.
- Connect the right-angled ends to the Expansion shelf. Connect the strain relief bale to each power cord.
- Connect two power cords between the Expansion shelf and the PDU.
- Rewrap the plastic ties to secure each power cord.
- Connect two power cords between the Primary shelf and the PDU.
- Connect two power cords between the compute node and the PDU.
- Verify that the final power cord cabling is consistent with the following diagram.
