Cabling Rules for LC Clusters
HP High Performance Clusters LC 2000 Series Cabling Guide A-3
Power Connections—The factory distributes the power connections across the PDUs in the
LC cluster to avoid overload conditions. The most common PDUs used in the LC clusters are
the 24A and 32A Control Units with four, eight-receptacle Extension Bars. Using these
PDUs, the factory will not connect more than five components to an Extension Bar and no
more than 14 total components to each PDU. Different population rules may apply to
different capacity PDUs.
Even though the base PDUs can support four, eight-receptacle Extension Bars, the LC
clusters might not ship with all the Extension Bars if they are not used. Overload conditions
could result from using unused Extension Bars.
