Electrical

For electrical requirements, see Power distribution unit and power cord options.

Floor cutout

Racks with water hoses and power cords that exit from the bottom of the rack require a floor tile cutout of at least 30.48 cm (12 in.) long by 22.86 cm (9 in.) wide. Due to the hose bend radii, the hole must be positioned towards the side of the rack without the manifold (the left side of the rack when looking at the rear of the rack). The left edge of the hole must be at least 11.43 cm (4.5 in.) from the side and 3.81 cm (1.5 in.) from the back edge of the rack (not including doors). Hole placement on the tile depends on the location of the rack, tile size, and tile load limitations.
