PDU plugs, circuit breakers, and receptacles
The PDU plugs must be appropriate for the power sources at the installation
sites.
Table 4-8 PDU plugs, circuit breakers, and receptacles on page 4-10
lists the plugs on the end of the PDU power cords. The power distribution
panel at the installation site must have receptacles that match these plugs.
Note: Depending on the configuration, the HUS VM storage system may draw
considerably less power than the rating of the PDU plugs. Use the weight and
power calculator to determine the power draw for a specific system. See the
note under Electrical specifications on page 4-8.

Power connection diagrams
The following illustrations show the correct way to connect the PDUs to the
PDPs. When connected as shown, either of the AC inputs can fail and the
system will still operate normally.
