A 60 amp Power Distribution Unit (PDU) has been developed for HP 9000 customers that prefer to use
fewer, higher amperage connections into their wall electrical infrastructure. This PDU is sold separately
and can be ordered with any HP Server solution. For more details on PDU's, please refer to the PDU
sales collateral.
Example of how the PDU can be configured with the HP 9000 rp8420 Server in a dual grid

configuration: In this case there are two HP 9000 rp8420 servers (average configurations drawing ~9
amps each) and two 60 amp PDUs configured with redundant power. The blue cords represent the
primary power connections needed for normal operation. In this example, cords from each server are
plugged into a separate branch circuits. However, it is acceptable, for lower VA configurations, for each
server to plug both grid A cords into one branch circuit and both grid B cords into 2nd branch circuit.
The remaining PDU outlets can be used to power other components as long as the specs per PDU rating
is not exceeded.
For redundant power inputs, the second set of red cords is added. If the second PDU is plugged into a
second grid this configuration provides protection against:
Losing power from a single power grid
Accidental tripping of one or two circuit breakers
Accidental disconnect of a single PDU power cord
Accidental disconnect of up to four system power cords

A 30 amp Power Distribution Unit (PDU) is also supported with HP 9000 rp8420 Server. This PDU is
sold separately and can be ordered with any HP Server solution.
Unlike the 60 amp PDU, each 30 amp PDU can only support one HP 9000 rp8420 Server. The
following configuration guidelines apply when using the 30 amp PDU:
HP 9000 rp8420 Server plugs A0 and A1 should be plugged into the same PDU
Ax and Bx cords should never be plugged into the same PDU
Use two 30 amp PDUs to achieve input power redundancy. A0/A1 and B0/B1 into separate
PDUs.
Ordering tools will not force the purchase of a second PDU for input power redundancy. A second
PDU must be manually selected if redundant input power is desired.
