Power distribution unit and power cord options for 7014, 7953, and 7965 racks

Power distribution units (PDUs) can be used with 7014, 7953, and 7965 racks. The various configurations and specifications are provided.

Power distribution unit

The following figure shows the four vertical PDU locations in 7014-T00, 7014-T42, 7014-B42, and 7965-S42 racks. The 7953-94X and 7965-94Y racks have six vertical PDU locations. Three locations are on the left side of the rack and three locations are on the right side of the rack.

Power distribution units (PDUs) are required for all IBM® racks except for the 7014-B42 rack. If a PDU is not defaulted or ordered, a power cord is provided with each individual rack-mounted drawer for connection to a country-specific utility mains receptacle or uninterruptible power supply. See the individual rack-mounted drawer specifications for the appropriate power cords.

The amperage rating of the PDU is either 16 A, 24 A, 48 A, or 63 A, single phase or three-phase, depending on the power cord.

Note: All power cords are 4.3 m (14 ft). For installation in Chicago, only 2.8 m (6 ft) of the 4.3 m (14 ft) power cord can extend beyond the perimeter of the rack frame. If more than 2.8 m (6 ft) can exit the rack, then retain any additional cordage within the rack frame with hook-and-loop fastener ties in the cable management space until 2.8 (6 ft) or less exits the rack.

The PDU has twelve customer-usable IEC 320-C13 outlets that are rated at 200 - 240 V ac. Six groups of two outlets that are fed by six circuit breakers. Each outlet is rated up to 10 A (220 - 240 V ac) or 12 A (200 - 208 V ac), but each group of two outlets is fed from one 20 A circuit breaker derated to 16 A.

Power distribution unit plus specifications

The power distribution unit plus (PDU+) has power-monitoring capabilities. The PDU+ is an intelligent AC power distribution unit (PDU+) that monitors the amount of power that is being used by the devices that are plugged into it. The PDU+ provides twelve C13 power outlets and receives power through a Souriau UTG connector. It can be used in many locations worldwide and for many applications by varying the PDU-to-wall power cord, which must be ordered separately. Each PDU+ requires one PDU-to-wall power cord. When the PDU+ is connected to a dedicated power source, it conforms to UL60950, CSA C22.2-60950, EN-60950, and IEC-60950 standards.

HVDC PDU

The rating of the HVDC PDU is 240 - 380 V dc, 90 A. The HVDC PDU has a permanently attached 4.3 m (14 ft) power cord and is unterminated (no plug). The minimum cross-sectional area of the two conductors and grounding conductor is 16 AWG (1.3 mm).

This PDU has six customer-usable Rong Feng RF-203P outlets that are rated at 240 - 380 V dc. Each outlet is rated up to 10 A and is fed from one 20 A circuit breaker derated to 16 A. The HVDC PDU does not have the nationally recognized test laboratory certification that is required for use in North America.

This PDU can be either vertically mounted in the rack side pockets or horizontally mounted by using feature code (FC) EBA5 (mounting kit). If horizontally mounted, the PDU uses 1U of rack space.
