Connecting the power cords to the hardware

Typically, the rear of a rack is configured with a Power Distribution Unit (PDU) on each side. The PDU on each side is from a different source to provide power redundancy.

Caution:

Do not turn on the power to any components while connecting the power cords. The components must be turned on in a specific sequence to ensure correct communication.

Refer to the following section for a description of the power cable connectors.

See NetBackup 5330 cables and connectors.

To connect the power cables

  1. Verify that the AC power supply input for the compute node is within one of these ranges:

    • 100 - 127 VAC at 50/60 Hz, 8.2 A

    • 200 - 240 VAC at 50/60 Hz, 4.4 A

  2. Verify that the AC power supply input for the storage shelves is within the range of 200 - 240 VAC at 50/60 Hz, 9.13 - 10.95 A.
  3. For each component, obtain two power cords that are appropriate for your region and equipment.
  4. On the compute node, connect a power cord to each power supply socket. Connect the other end of each cord to a different PDU.
  5. On the primary shelf, connect a power cord to each power supply socket. Connect the other end of each cord to a different PDU.
  6. On the expansion shelf, connect a power cord to each power supply socket. Connect the other end of each cord to a different PDU.
