The PDU has twelve IEC 320-C13 outlets. There are six groups of two outlets fed by six
circuit breakers. Each outlet is rated up to 10 amps, but each group of two outlets is fed from
one 15 amps circuit breaker.
Note: The maximum number of OpenPower 710 servers supported on a 30 amp service
(PDU derated to 24 amps) is nine per PDU.
The maximum number of OpenPower 710 servers supported on a 60 amp service (PDU
derated to 48 amps) is 12 per PDU.
The Universal PDUs are compatible with previous IBM Eserver p5, OpenPower, and
pSeries models.

1.6.4 Rack-mounting rules for OpenPower 710 server
The OpenPower 710 server is a 2U rack-mounted server drawer. The primary rules that
should be followed when mounting the OpenPower 710 server into a rack are:
The OpenPower 710 server is designed to be placed at any location in the rack. For rack
stability, it is advisable to start filling a rack from the bottom.
Any remaining space in the rack can be used to install other systems or peripherals,
provided that the maximum permissible weight of the rack is not exceeded and the
installation rules for these devices are followed.
Before placing a OpenPower 710 server into the service position, it is essential that the
rack manufacturer's safety instructions are followed regarding rack stability.
A maximum of 18 model OpenPower 710 servers fit in the T00 rack, and 21 model
OpenPower 710 servers in T42 rack.
The 14 ft. length of the jumper cords (between the drawer and the PDU) will require
additional cable management. The extra length of a cord not used in its routing between
its two ends will have to be accounted for inside rack space.
