ActiveScale™ X100 Site Requirements Guide

19

To prevent the potentially negative effects of excessive inrush current on the system, Quantum Corporation 

recommends selecting a PDU that can stagger the startup sequence of the system components.

Important: 

If a PDU that cannot stagger the startup sequence is used, ensure that 

the PDU is rated to support the inrush current created by a simultaneous startup.

4. Recommended startup order

For an example of the exact programming sequence used by Quantum Corporation power supplies, refer to 

the cabling section of the 

ActiveScale X100 Support Guide

.

Safety

The PDU used shall comply with the safety standards of the country that rack is installed in.

Electromagnetic Compatibility

The PDU used shall comply with the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) agency of the country that the 

rack is installed in.
