Rack AC power distribution
The power distribution in an Enterprise Virtual Array rack is the same for all variants. The site AC input
voltage is routed to the dua l PDU assembly mounted in the rack lower rear. Each PDU distributes AC to a
maximum of four PDMs mounted on the left and right vertical rails (see Figure 33).
• PDMs 1 through 3 connect to receptacles A through D on PDU 1. Grey power cords connect
these PDMs to the num ber 1 drive enclosure power supplies and to the upper controller enclosure.
• PDMs 4 through 6 connect to receptacles A through D on PDU 2. B lack power cords connect
these PDMs to the numb er 2 drive enclosure power supplies and to the lower controller enclosure.
NOTE:
The locations of the PDUs and the PDMs are the same in all racks.
