Chapter 5 Connect Power Cables
Note: The amperage requirements for an FC Brick is higher than a SATA Brick
at 115V. The FC Bricks draw close to an additional one amp each. Configuring
for FC Bricks may require upgrading your PDU specification. If you have any
questions about your PDU configuration contact the Pillar World Wide Customer
Support Center.

Sample Power Cabling for One Slammer and 16 SATA Bricks
Note: This topic applies only to Pillar Axiom 600 systems.
One Slammer and 16 SATA Bricks (and a Pilot) represent a fully-loaded 42U
rack. Split power cables (the plug end splits into two outlet ends) enable you to
connect two components to a single outlet in the PDU and reduce the density of
the cabling.
Tip: The total amperage draw for each outlet bank is more important than which
Brick is plugged into which outlet. The following figure illustrates one way to
distribute the load. Always try to balance the load among the outlet banks.
