Preparing to Install an RP-Series PDU
Before you install a PDU, plan how to route the power cable. It can be routed through the bottom of the Cisco
R42612 rack, through the two knockout cabling portholes on the top enclosure of the rack, or through the
large opening with brushes at the rear of the top enclosure of the rack.
Installing a Zero-U PDU
There are five models of PDUs that can be mounted vertically in a Cisco R42612 Rack. These PDUs can be
installed on the PDU trays on both sides of the rack; the PDUs do no require any RU space, so they are also
referred to a zero-U PDUs.
The Cisco R42612 rack can accommodate up to six zero-U PDUs. When servicing Cisco UCS servers, some
products may require the temporary removal of cables to provide service space for rear-facing field replaceable
units (FRUs).
Note
