Power Distribution Unit Zero-U Mount - HP Cluster Platform Introduction v2010 Introduction Manual

is a single-phase unit that branches out into four single-phase branch circuits. The power strips
mount directly to the rear of the rack frame and plug into the control units.
Each HP Cluster Platform rack has up to four modular PDUs. For Cluster Platform racks with
server blades there may be up to eight modular PDUs in the rack. Each control unit has four
outlet receptacles. However, all four outlet receptacles might not be in use simultaneously because
the total capacity of each PDU cannot exceed 40A for PDU models shipped to the US and Japan
or exceed 32A for international PDU models. For the latest information on the power specifications,
see the HP Modular Power Distribution Units (Zero-U/1U Modular PDUs QuickSpecs, available
