Redundant ac-power environment requirements
Ensure that your physical site meets the installation requirements for the
redundant ac-power switch.
The redundant ac-power switch requires two independent power sources that are
provided through two rack-mounted power distribution units (PDUs). The PDUs
must have IEC320-C13 outlets.
