2.3  PDU requirements for rackless systems

PDUs are not supplied for the rackless version of ActiveScale X100. Follow these PDU requirements to 

ensure that the system will function as designed. This section provides information that is necessary in 

making the determination about selecting a PDU that will effectively and safely support the power 

consumption of the system. The following table lists the power specifications of the system.

2.3.1  PDU requirements, common

The system is configured to have two separate, AC source circuits to provide fully redundant power. Thus, 

each source circuit must be able to provide the full power to the system. Typically, each source is provided 

to a single socket wired into one of the customer's AC circuits. However, certain customers may have 

power configurations that will not provide the required amount of power in a single connection. For 

example, there could be a lower power single phase PDU where one PDU cannot provide enough power 

for the ActiveScale X100 system. For these power configurations, up to two power connections will be 

used for each “source” of the system.

Power Connector Type

All connectors on each component are C14. The system comes with C13 

to C14 cables. If these cables are not compatible with the site's selected 

PDU and power equipment, the user must provide compatible cables.
