The site AC input voltage is routed to each PDU mounted in the rack. Each PDU distributes AC through

ten receptacles directly to the storage system components.

PDUs 1 and 3 (optional) are mounted on the left side of the cabinet. Grey power cords connect

these PDUs to the number 1 drive enclosure power supplies and to the controller enclosures.

PDUs 2 and 4 (optional) are mounted on the right side of the cabinet. Black power cords connect

these PDUs to the number 2 drive enclosure power supplies and to the controller enclosures.

Moving and stabilizing a rack

WARNING!

The physical size and weight of the rack requires a minimum of two people to move. If one person tries

to move the rack, injury may occur.
To ensure stability of the rack, always push on the lower half of the rack. Be especially careful when

moving the rack over any bump (for example: door sills, ramp edges, carpet edges, or elevator

openings). When the rack is moved over a bump, there is a potential for it to tip over.

Moving the rack requires a clear, uncarpeted pathway that is at least 80 cm (31.5 in) wide for the

60.3 cm (23.7 in) wide, 42U rack. A vertical clearance of 203.2 cm (80 in) should ensure sufficient

clearance for the 200 cm (78.7 in) high, 42U rack.

CAUTION:

Ensure that no vertical or horizontal restrictions exist that would prevent rack movement without

damaging the rack.
Make sure that all four leveler feet are in the fully raised position. This process will ensure that the casters

support the rack weight and the feet do no impede movement.

Each 10000-Series rack requires an area 600 mm (23.62 in) wide and 1000 mm (39.37 in) deep

(see

Figure 56

).
