Power distribution boards
The power distribution board (PDB) is a board that connects the redundant power supply units to the system board. The Fan
Control Board is a part of the PDB1. A PDB is only available in systems that support redundant power supply units. This system has
two PDBs. The procedure to remove and install both the PDBs is similar. Remove PDB 1, to access PDB 2.
