In Compaq 7000- and 9000-series racks, PDUs supporting a full rack of ProLiant DL360 servers

must be installed vertically in the rack side panels to prevent interference with the server rack

rails. Compaq Vertical-Mount PDU Bracket kits enable PDUs to be mounted vertically in the side

compartments of 7000- and 9000-series racks. Compaq offers two Vertical-Mount PDU Bracket

kits:

• Compaq Vertical-Mount PDU Bracket kit (part number 191265-B21): This kit includes eight

brackets that support four PDUs. This kit works best with low-voltage applications that use

the power cord included with the server.

• Compaq Vertical-Mount PDU Bracket with High Voltage Cables kit (part number 166097-

B21): This kit includes eleven Y-cables and four brackets that support two PDUs. This kit

works best with high-voltage, high-current PDUs. Using the Y-cables allows each power

outlet on the PDU to supply power for two servers.

2.3.1 High Voltage 24A PDU (part number 295363-003)

The 12 outlets on this PDU are grouped into 4 sections. Each section is protected with a 10A

circuit breaker. The total load for this PDU cannot exceed 24A. Each section of the PDU has

three outlets. The total current available for each section is 10A. The loads should be balanced

amongst the four sections so that the total load per section does not exceed 10A or a total of 24A

for the PDU. Figure 2-1 illustrates a high-voltage 24A PDU.
