System Installation Specifications
This section provides these specifications necessary for planning the system
installation site:
Modular Cabinet AC Input Power
An AC power cable is factory-connected to each of two PDUs inside the modular
cabinet. When you order the system, you specify the factory-installed location of the
PDU junction boxes at the top or bottom of the modular cabinet, depending on what
the site provides for power feed:
•
Top feed: For power cables routed to the top of the modular cabinet (such as from
overhead cable trays)
•
Bottom feed: For power cables routed to the bottom of the modular cabinet (such
as from under raised flooring)
For information on the PDUs, refer to AC Power PDUs on page 5-3

Dimensions and Weights 3-9
Environmental Specifications 3-9
Calculating Specifications for Enclosure Combinations 3-11
Note. All specifications provided in this section assume that each enclosure in the modular
cabinet is fully populated; for example, a NonStop Blade Element with four processors and
maximum memory. The maximum current for each AC service depends on the number and
type of enclosures installed in the modular cabinet. Power, weight, and heat loads are less
when enclosures are not fully populated; for example, a NonStop Blade Element with fewer
processors or a Fibre Channel disk module with fewer disks.
