Connecting Power to Systems, PDUs, and a UPS
When you plan for PDUs, note the following:
•
Only the top PDU is connected to the UPS.
•
The bottom PDU is connected directly to an AC power main.
•
The UPS can be connected to the same AC power main that the bottom PDU is
connected to, or the UPS can be connected to another AC power main.
Figure 5-1
shows how to connect systems to PDUs and a UPS to the top PDU.
