PDUs can be installed horizontally in the T00 rack and three in the T42 rack. The four vertical
mounting locations will be filled first in the T00 and T42 racks. Mounting PDUs horizontally
consumes 1 U per PDU and reduces the space available for other racked components. When
mounting PDUs horizontally, we recommend that you use fillers in the EIA units occupied by
these PDUs to facilitate proper air-flow and ventilation in the rack.

Note: Ensure that the appropriate power cord feature is configured to support the power
being supplied.
The Base/Side Mount Universal PDU (FC 9188) and the optional, additional, Universal PDU
(FC 7188) and the Intelligent PDU+ options (FC 5889 and FC 7109) support a wide range of
country requirements and electrical power specifications. The PDU receives power through a
UTG0247 power line connector. Each PDU requires one PDU-to-wall power cord. Various
power cord features are available for different countries and applications by varying the
PDU-to-wall power cord, which must be ordered separately. Each power cord provides the
unique design characteristics for the specific power requirements. To match new power
requirements and save previous investments, these power cords can be requested with an
initial order of the rack or with a later upgrade of the rack features.
The PDU has 12 client-usable 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 amp circuit breaker.
Note: Based on the power cord that is used, the PDU can supply from 4.8 kVA to 19.2 kVA.
The total kilovolt ampere (kVA) of all the drawers plugged into the PDU must not exceed
the power cord limitation.
