Note:
For single-rack cluster configurations, the PDU is installed in the side of the rack in a zero-U
configuration to free up 2U of rack space for nodes. The PDU is accessible from the side of the
rack by removing the rack's side panel, which must always be accessible. This zero-U configuration
is not used in multiple-rack (bayed) configurations because it is very difficult to access the PDU.
Figure 2-2 shows a representation of the physical appearance of a 32-node dense cluster, model
CP6000. Components that are mounted with ports facing the rear of the rack are concealed behind
filler panels (usually a 1U snap-in filler panel is used to fill the front of each rack position).
