User Service Guide, Fifth Edition - HP Integrity rx8640 SEU
Circuit Breaker
The Marked Electrical for the SEU is 7A per line cord. The recommended circuit breaker size is
20 amps for North America. For countries outside North America, consult your local electrical
authority that has jurisdiction for the recommended circuit breaker size.
The SEU contains two C20 power receptacles located at the bottom rear bulkhead. A minimum
of one power cord must be used to maintain normal operation of the SEU. A second cord can be
added to improve system availability by protecting, for example, against power source failures
or accidentally tripped circuit breakers. The SEU can receive AC input from two different AC
power sources.
