HP Netserver LXr 8500 Rack Cabling Guide

Chapter 2 Rack Cabling References

◊ available in either 208 VAC or 230/240 VAC configurations for

international markets

◊ Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) models rated at 3000 Watts are

available for either voltage range; or a 2250 Watt UPS is available for

230/240 VAC (see Table 2-1)

◊ for both 208 and 230/240 voltages, two wide range Power Distribution

Unit (PDU) models (rated 10 A and 16 A) are available

(see Figure 2-1)

◊ one or more PDUs can be used in each rack enclosure, depending upon

requirements for power, current, and number of receptacles

(see Table 2-4)

Power Cables and Components Available

When components are installed in a rack, a power supply subsytem for the rack is

required. HP recommends the NetServer LXr 8500 be connected as follows:

• connected to a Power Distribution Unit (PDU)--see Figure 2-1.

• through an Uninterrupible Power Supply (UPS)--see Table 2-1

• to a properly protected branch circuit or circuits--see "Site Preparation--

Circuit Breakers" in Chapter 1

NOTE A Redundant Switch is available for use between the UPS and

the branch circuit or between the PDU and the branch circuit.

More information is listed in Table 2-2 and in Appendix B.

Table 2-2 lists details of the cables, components, plugs and receptacles for the two

rack power supply subsystems for the HP NetServer LXr 8500.

Note 1. Ensure UPS Volt Amps rating is not exceeded. Add power in Volt Amps of each

component and connect no more than those the UPS supports.

Note 2. Also ensure UPS Wattage rating is not exceeded. Add power in Watts of each

component and connect no more than those the UPS supports.
