About Power Cabling
Pillar Axiom 600 racks come with the Brick power cords or Wye power cables pre-
installed in the rack with colored tie wraps. These Wye power cables are ready to
be plugged into the back of each Brick.
The Wye power cables are color-coded to indicate which PDU circuits will supply
power to the Brick component. All cords of the same color connect to one set of
power distribution units (PDUs), while the other cords connect to the other set of
PDUs. When additional PDUs are added to the cabinet, additional colors are
used. For example: All red Wye power cables are in one circuit and all blue Wye
power cables are in the other.
To understand the exact quantities of PDU's required for each system or for each
cabinet, contact the Pillar World Wide Customer Support Center.
Sample Power Cabling for One Slammer and Three Bricks
The configuration in the figure below uses 230V power and two Pulizzi TPC 2104
PDUs. The power cords for each component must connect to separate PDUs,
connected to separate power circuits. A sample power cabling scheme such as
the one below would distribute the load within the limits of each outlet bank.
