PDU Function
The PDUs provide connections for the DC power cables, circuit breakers, and over current
protection; configure the output voltages produced by the power supply modules into
three different output zones; and connect to the midplane, which distributes the different
output voltages to the packet transport switch components, depending on their voltage
requirements.
PDUs Supported
The packet transport switch supports the PDU in Table 16 on page 38.
