Adding and Configuring Components

Cable Installation
These procedures may be used for early deliveries consisting of either option 1 or option 2 as
well as those later systems delivered with PDCA cables attached.
Select the proper cable using the following criteria.
Each Superdome server cabinet using a three-phase, four-wire input must have a four-conductor cable. The
four-conductor cable selected by the facility electrician shall be in accordance with local electrical codes to support
the selected circuit breaker for the Marked Electrical current of 62A per phase. The facility electrician and local
electrical codes will determine proper power cord selection dependent upon desired application such as rigid
conduit, flexible conduit, or cable bundle.

Each Superdome server cabinet using a three-phase five-wire input must have a five-conductor cable. The
five-conductor cable selected by the facility electrician shall be in accordance with local electrical codes to support
the selected circuit breaker for the Marked Electrical current of 36A per phase. The facility electrician and local
electrical codes will determine proper power cord selection dependent upon desired application such as rigid
conduit, flexible conduit, or cable bundle.

Step 1.
Prepare the new cable as shown in Figure 14.
Step 2.
Route the new cable into the PDCA. Be sure to use the cable retaining hardware saved from the
cable removal.
Step 3. Route the cable into the PDCA terminal lugs and secure in position by tightening the lugs.
