• HP 4.5 m power cord with stripped ends
• HP 240 V power cord w/ IEC 309 plug, 4.5 m
• HP 240 V power cord w/ CEE7/7, 4.5 m
• HP power cord for China
• HP power cord for Israel
• HP power cord, 4.5 m, C19/C20 Plug (jumper for UPS)
• HP power cord w/IEC 320-C20 connector and 2.5 m jumper for UPS
You can supply your own power cables as long as they meet a 20 amp rating, fit the IEC320-C20
PDU inlets, and meet local codes.

North American AC power cabling

The HP XP10000 racks each require 20-amp, single-phase 200 VAC power supplied by four power
cords with plugs, four receptacles, and four main disconnect devices (circuit breakers). If the second
rack contains only one disk chassis, only two power cords and breakers are required, but four are
required if you plan to add another disk chassis.
The disk array comes from the HP factory with the AC power cords and plugs you have ordered. Plug
types rated for 30 Amps and 20 Amps are specified in
of the power cord connects to the power distribution unit input, which is a type IEC320 C20 connector.
Connect each AC power cable to a separate receptacle on a separate circuit breaker, and connect
each pair of power cords (the left pair and the right pair) to separate distribution panels to ensure
power fault tolerance.
CAUTION:
Do not apply power until instructed to do so by HP. An HP representative should be present whenever the
disk array is being connected to a new power source.

Branch circuit requirements

To protect the disk array, your building must be wired correctly. Each supply ("hot") conductor must
be protected by a short-circuit protective device and by an overcurrent protective device.
on page 41 specifies the overcurrent protective devices required for single-phase operation.
All protective devices must comply with national standards of the country where the units are to be
installed. If a protective device interrupts any supply conductor, it must also interrupt all other supply
conductors.

recommended if you plan to add another disk chassis later.
