Power Options
Table 5-5 describes the available power options. It may be unusual to list Options 6 and 7 and not 1 and 2.
The options listed are consistent with previous options for earlier Superdome systems.
NOTE A qualified electrician must wire the PDCA receptacle to site power using copper wire and in
compliance with all local codes.
Each branch circuit used within a complex must be connected together to form a common ground.
When only one PDCA is to be installed in a system cabinet, it must be installed as PDCA0. Refer to Figure 5-7
for PDCA0 location.
NOTE When wiring a PDCA, phase rotation is unimportant. When using two PDCAs, however, the
rotation must be consistent for both.
