Procedure
1. Confirm that the customer-supplied power cables are labeled and that each
label contains the relevant customer-supplied PDU and circuit breaker numbers.
If power cables are not equipped with labels, alert the customer.
2. Compare the numbers on the customer-supplied power cables for each EMC
bay to verify that power zone A and power zone B are powered by a different
customer-supplied PDU.
3. Do the following to connect power zone A and power zone B in each bay. You
must use the 15ft extension cords provided by EMC. To ensure serviceability,
make sure there is 2ft (61cm) of cable slack directly under the bay floor-egress.
See VMAX 250F customer AC power feed cabling on page 73 for more details.
l
For both single-phase and three-phase, connect customer-supplied PDU
power cables to the EMC bay by connecting to the bay's AC input cables for
power zone A and power zone B as shown below:
