The 200/240 VAC, wide-range Power Distribution Unit (PDU) can be mounted in
several configurations with the LXr 8500. One of these configurations is shown in
Figure 2-2. Others are listed and illustrated throughout Chapter 3.
How to Position the PDU
Count the receptacles needed for each unit in the rack, notice where the PDUs can
be most conveniently located, and decide whether to orient the PDU vertically or
horizontally.
