Install a PDU
5.
Ensure that you have switched off every PDU circuit breaker on the replacement
PDU.
See Step 6 of “Prepare a PDU for Removal” on page 254.
6.
Locate the replacement PDU input lead cord connectors.
Depending on how you routed the cords when you installed the PDUs, route these cords either
out the bottom of the rack or out the top.
7.
Connect the replacement PDU power lead cords to the facility AC power source.
If your rack contains two PDUs, ensure that each PDU is connected to different AC power
source circuits, and reinstall the jumper cords in the same locations from which you removed
them. For information about the installation locations for the jumper cords, refer to the SPARC
M8 and SPARC M7 Servers Installation Guide.
