volt 20 to 50 amp circuit breakers (configuration dependent). Each power source supports up to 8.4 kVA.
4. Each ac Power Distribution Bus (PDB) can supply 4.8 kVA. A rack can have up to four PDBs as required by the
drawers mounted in the rack.
5. All rack installations require careful site and facilities planning designed to both address the cumulative drawer
heat output and provide the airflow volumes rates necessary to comply with drawer temperature requirements.
