4.3 PDU Installation
PDU installation will vary depending on the number of servers to be installed in a rack, the rack
size, and the PDU type selected. This section describes installation guidelines on where to install
the PDUs in a rack and how to connect the power cords to the PDUs.
The PDU voltage selection will be primarily dictated by the facility power source availability.
It is highly recommended to use high voltage power lines, especially to deploy a 42U rack full of
ProLiant DL360 servers since there will be fewer number of external power lines, internal cables,
and PDUs. In some cases, facility low voltage infrastructure may not have enough provision (for
example, high enough current breakers) to support 42 servers in a 42U rack.
4.3.1 Vertically Orienting the PDUs
To support a rack-full of ProLiant DL360 servers, two to four PDUs are to be installed in the
side-panel compartments of the 9000- and 7000-series racks. For the 7000-series racks, the rack
frames in the side panel compartments must be adjusted to fit the PDUs in a vertical orientation.
The PDUs cannot be mounted horizontally, because the ProLiant DL360 rack rails will interfere
with the PDUs. Vertical-mount PDU brackets are needed to install the currently shipping Compaq
PDUs in vertical orientation in these racks as shown in Figure 4-1.

brackets and Y-power cords.
Note: The new PDU (part #207590-xxx) does not require vertical mount brackets.
