Configuration rules for power features
Ensure that you are familiar with the configuration rules and feature codes before
you order power features.
When you order power cord features, the following rules apply.
v You must order a minimum of one power cord feature for each frame. Each
feature code represents a pair of power cords (two cords).
v You must select the power cord that is appropriate to the input voltage and
geographic region where the storage system is located.
If the optional extended power line disturbance (ePLD) option is needed, you must
order feature code 1055 for each base frame and expansion frame. The ePLD
option protects the storage system from a power-line disturbance for 40 seconds.

system configuration.
