NetBackup appliances and storage shelves currently ship with two AC power cords.
To improve the power distribution within a rack environment, Symantec will ship
two Power Distribution Unit (PDU) compatible cords (C13-C14) instead of the AC
power cords with these devices. The transition to the new cords will be gradual.
These cords connect the appliance and the storage shelf to AC power outlets on
the PDU in the equipment rack. Each cord includes a standard IEC-60320-C14
plug and an IEC-60320-C13 connector.
