Figure 15 Power Banks in the PDU
WARNING! To avoid possible injury, damage to storage system equipment, and potential loss
of data, do not use the surplus power outlets in the storage system PDUs. Never use outlets in the
PDUs to power components that do not belong to the storage system or to power storage system
components that reside in other cabinets.
Power Cord Connections
Storage systems arrive with all internal power cords configured and connected. The AC cords
connect two power supplies at the rear of the controller nodes and drive chassis to the PDUs at
the bottom of the cabinet. The length of the power cord is 10 feet. The power cords can be routed
through the lower access opening at the bottom of the cabinet or the upper access opening at the
top of the cabinet (Figure 16 (page 30)). The side panels are removable for easier cabling access.
