Power Cords
This section discusses the different configurations for Superdome PDCA power cords.
Pre-wired PDCAs (Options 4 and 5) All Superdome servers are delivered with the appropriate cable,
plug, and receptacle.
Because each system is shipped pre-wired, it is very important that the source power be verified during
the site preparation to ensure that the proper PDCA wiring, plug, and connector ship with the system.
When installing the receptacle, ensure that there is enough room to allow for mating the
receptacle with the plug.
Check the voltages at the receptacle prior to connecting the newly installed receptacle to the PDCA plug.
Refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 for pin locations.
To verify the proper wiring for a four-wire PDCA, use a DVM to measure the voltage at the
receptacle. Voltage should read 200 - 240 Vac phase to phase as measured between the receptacle
pins as follows: L1 to L2, L2 to L3, L1 to L3.
●
To verify the proper wiring for a five-wire PDCA, use a DVM to measure the voltage at the
receptacle. Voltage should read 200 - 240 Vac phase to neutral; as measured between the
