Facility Power Requirements

Provide a separate circuit breaker for each power cord.
Use dedicated AC breaker panels for all power circuits that supply power to the PDU. Breaker
switches and breaker panels should not be shared with other high-powered equipment.
Balance the power load between AC supply branch circuits.
To protect the rack from electrical fluctuations and interruptions, you should have a dedicated
power distribution system, an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), power-conditioning
equipment, and lightning arresters.

Grounding Requirements

Always connect the cords to grounded power outlets. Computer equipment requires electrical
circuits to be grounded to the Earth.
Because different grounding methods vary by locality, refer to documentation such as IEC
documents for the correct grounding method. Ensure that the facility administrator or qualified
electrical engineer verifies the grounding method for the building, and performs the grounding
work.
