Task 14: Plan AC Power
Plan for facility power sources for each equipment rack. Directors and switches in
the rack operate at 50 to 60 Hertz (Hz) and 100 to 240 volts alternating current
(VAC) and require a minimum dedicated 5-ampere service. If two power sources
are supplied (optional but recommended for high availability), the equipment rack
contains two customer-specified external power cords. Each cord should be
connected to a separate power circuit or both should be connected to an
uninterruptable power supply (UPS). Several types of power cables and plugs are
available to meet local electrical requirements.
WARNING: An insulated grounding conductor identical in size, insulating
material, and thickness to the grounded and ungrounded branch-circuit
supply conductors (except it is green, with or without one or more yellow
stripes) shall be installed as part of the branch circuit supplying the product.
The grounding conductor described shall be connected to ground at the
product, or if supplied by a separately derived system at the supply
transformer or motor generator. The plug receptacles near the product shall
all be a grounding type, and grounding conductors serving these receptacles
shall be connected to ground at the product.
Keep all power cables out of high-traffic areas for safety and to avoid power
interruption caused by accidentally unplugging the product or equipment rack.
