24 A (PDU current rating)/2.77 A (server total input current rating) = 8.7
PDU number 295363-001/291 can support a maximum of 8 servers at full server input
current ratings.
For more information on high-voltage PDUs, refer to the “Power Distribution Unit High-Voltage
Models for North America and International Use, (NA CPQ # 295363-002; INT'L CPQ #
295363-B31)” website:

The HP ProLiant DL320 Generation 2 server does not support either a DC input power supply or
a redundant power supply. However, the power supply for this server automatically senses input
voltage level.
selecting server power cords
The appropriate server power cord to use depends on the cable management system installed in
the rack. Generally, the sliding rail cable management system requires a power cord that is
1.83 m (6 ft) in length. This length provides enough slack for the power cord to route through the
cable management solution.
high-voltage Y-cables
The Vertical-Mount PDU Bracket with High-Voltage Cables kit includes 11 Y-cables, each of
which is 3.0 m (10 ft) long. The single-cord PDU section is 1.8 m (6 ft) long, and the dual-cord
server section is 1.3 m (4 ft) long. Refer to Table 6 for part numbers.
Y-cables have a single-cord section with an IEC connector that connects to the PDU, a dividing
joint in the center, and a dual-cord section with IEC connectors that connect to the servers. One
Y-cable supplies power from the PDU to two servers in the standard configuration.
CAUTION: When installing server power cords into the PDUs, ensure that the load is
balanced among the output circuit breakers. Do not exceed the ratings of the circuit
breakers.

The IEC-to-IEC cables can be used either as individual
power cords for the server or to extend the length of the
high-voltage Y-cables. The cables are available in six-,
eight-, and ten-foot lengths. The ProLiant DL320
Generation 2 Server ships with one 10-ft IEC to IEC
cable, part number 142257-003.
power cords
The server ships with an IEC-IEC power cord (PN 142257-002) used for rack mounting with
high-voltage Power Distribution Units (PDUs). For low-voltage, stand-alone deployments or
installation without a rack, country-specific power cord options are available.
