Cable the External Power Connections
Prerequisites
All ClusterStor L300 and L300N system racks have been positioned in their permanent locations.
About this task
All internal cable connections in the ClusterStor L300 and L300N system are made at the factory when the
components are installed in the rack. Only a few external cable connections are needed when the system is
installed at the customer site. This section covers primarily facility power and power cord connections.
See
Cable Inter-rack Local Management Network (LMN)
on page 36 for the cabling steps and diagrams for
connecting the system into the customer environment.
IMPORTANT: Power connections within a ClusterStor L300 and L300N system should be considered
carefully, as the loads are large. Where possible, balance the load equally across all 3 phases.
WARNING:
●
Serious Injury or Equipment Damage
●
Always perform a ground (earth) continuity and insulation test after completing the hardware
installation and prior to powering on the system.
NOTE: Depending on the installation, each PDU power cord may be routed out of the top of the rack
cabinet, or out of the bottom into the sub-floor system, and then connected to the appropriate facility
power connection.
The PDUs must be inverted to feed the power through the top of the ClusterStor L300 and L300N rack. Note that
the power sockets are always numbered from the top down; therefore, although the numbering may visually seem
incorrect, the power sockets do have the correct number assignments.
