Power cords

Two power cords for connecting between the SAN384B-2 and the power
distribution units on the 2109 C36 cabinet are shipped with the product. See the
IBM TotalStorage SAN Cabinet 2109 Model C36 Installation and Service Guide for
information on connecting the cabinet to the facility power source. If the
stand-alone feature is ordered for the SAN384B-2, then you must also order the
country-specific power cords.
