Power Requirements

WARNING: Risk of fire or damage to the equipment.
Each AC power cord for the power enclosure has an electrical rating based on
the model and power supply configuration. The rating is marked on the side of
the enclosure. It is important that the system be configured and loaded
according to the guidelines in the ProLiant BL p-Class System Overview and
Planning white paper. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in an
overload of the electrical circuits feeding the power enclosure.
Also, when performing system upgrades, you must refer back to the ProLiant
BL p-Class System Overview and Planning white paper to be sure that the new
configuration does not overload the existing power enclosure scheme.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, fire, or damage to the
equipment, do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power
to the rack. Consult the electrical authority having jurisdiction over your
facility's wiring and installation requirements.
