Route 2U enclosure power cords

This basic task connects the supplied power cords to the redundant power cooling modules (PCMs) and then
to independent power distribution units (PDUs) that are connected to an uninterruptible power system. You
must only connect PDUs to a power source that has a safety electrical earth connection.
CAUTION Use only power cords supplied in the installation kit or those that meet product specifications.
CAUTION Adhere to power source and power connection requirements to avoid harm to equipment.
