NOTE:
If your rack contains single phase PDUs:
•
Install up to four nodes in the first rack starting in position 35 working up the rack.
•
Install up to four nodes in the second rack starting in position 35 working up the rack.
If your rack contains 3–phase PDUs:
•
Install up to six nodes in the first rack starting in position 33 working up the rack.
•
Install up to two nodes in the second rack starting in position 33 working up the rack.
