IBM TotalStorage FAStT600 Fibre Channel Storage Server: Installation and User's Guide
The FAStT600 dual-controller storage server (Model 60U/60X) uses two standard
power cords, and the single-controller storage server (Model 6LU/6LX) uses only
one.
You can connect the power cords to a primary power unit inside the rack, such as a
properly grounded ac distribution unit, or to an external source, such as a properly
grounded electrical outlet.
If you have not already done so, attach the power cords, using the following
illustration for the location of the component parts.

Figure 39. Power cord locations
Complete the following steps to attach the power cords.
1. Wrap the strain-relief clamp around the power cord approximately 20 cm (8 in.)
from the power supply connection end.
2. Attach the power-supply nut, and tighten it securely.
3. Connect the power cord to the power supply.
4. Plug the power cord into a properly grounded electrical outlet.
Note: To maintain power redundancy on the FAStT600 dual-controller storage
server (Model 60U/60X), plug the storage server's right and the left
power supplies into two independent external power circuits through ac
distribution units inside a rack cabinet or directly into external
receptacles. Similarly, the right and left power supplies of the FAStT drive
enclosures attached to the FAStT600 storage server should be plugged
into the same two independent external power circuits as the FAStT600
storage server. See Figure 40 on page 41 for an example of redundant
power cabling.
Exception: The FAStT600 single-controller storage server (Model
6LU/6LX) has only one power supply, so it does not support power
redundancy.
