4.3.2.4 Mounting 4 PDUs
A 36U or a 42U rack can accept up to four Compaq PDUs – one in each half side-panel
compartment. There are no special location considerations when mounting four PDUs.
4.3.3 PDU Cord Set Choices
This section explains the Compaq high voltage and low voltage power cord choices.
4.3.3.1 High Voltage Power Cords
The Power Y-Cables shipped with the Vertical-Mount PDU Bracket Kit with High Voltage
Cables are 10 ft long cable, where the “single” side is 6 ft long and the “double” side is 4 ft long
as shown in . These Y-cables are optimized to work with both fixed-rails and sliding-rails
installation, and they are designed to work with Compaq High Voltage PDUs.

The IEC-to-IEC cables can be used either as individual
power cords for the server or to extend the length of the
high voltage Y-cables. The cables are available in six,
eight and ten foot lengths. The ProLiant DL360 ships with
one 10 foot IEC to IEC cable, part number 142257-003.
4.3.3.2 Low Voltage Power Cords
When a PDU is mounted vertically in the side compartment of a 36U or a 42U Compaq rack, the
optimum power cord length requirement will vary depending on the rail choice. A general
guideline is that the sliding rail option will require about 3 ft longer cables. An additional 3 ft of
cable slack is needed for the sliding rails for a server to be pulled out without disconnecting the
cables.
Each ProLiant DL360 is shipped with a 12 ft long (single) low voltage power cord. The optimum
low voltage power cord lengths are about 3 ft to 5 ft for fixed rails, and 6 ft to 8 ft for sliding
rails, when deploying the servers in Compaq racks with the PDUs installed with vertical-mount
