NetBAY server dual-cord Power Distribution Unit introduction
The IBM NetBAY Server Dual-cord Power Distribution Unit is part of the Rack 
Modular Power Distribution Unit (M/PDU) family and enables you to connect one 
server to two dedicated, independent, and redundant power sources, such as an 
electrical outlet and an uninterruptable power supply (UPS). The Rack PDU has two 
power inlets, for Main and Backup power connections, and four IEC standard power 
outlets.
Notes:
1. You will have some unused parts depending upon how you install the Rack PDU.
2. When you install two Rack PDUs you will need some parts from both options.
3. You can install other M/PDU family devices next to your Rack PDU using 
mounting hardware from both devices.
You can install the Rack PDU vertically in the side of your rack cabinet, or 
horizontally within 1U of EIA mounting space in your rack cabinet. The mounting 
hardware that comes with this option enables you to install one Rack PDU next to 
another in the same mounting space within your rack cabinet.
The following parts come with the Rack PDU:
• One Rack PDU
• Two line cord (some models come with two high voltage and two low voltage line 
cords)
• One vertical mounting plate
• One vertical-mounting cable-management bracket
• One horizontal mounting bracket
• One single-device attachment bracket (for horizontal-mount installations)
• One dual-device attachment bracket (for horizontal-mount installations)
• One 1U blank filler panel (for horizontal-mount installations)
• Miscellaneous hardware kit (for attaching brackets and installing the device in a 
rack cabinet)
• Cable straps
• Installation documentation
