2. Route the power cord to the power distribution unit in the cabinet.
Caution –
The power distribution unit serves as the primary disconnect device for
the disk array. Do not connect the disk array into a power source other than the
power distribution unit. Personal injury can occur if you work on a disk array that is
connected into another power source, since that power source may still be active
when you work on the disk array.
3. Connect the power cord for the disk array to the power distribution unit.
If your power distribution unit has a sequencer, connect the first disk array to one of
the four lower outlets. Connect the second disk array to one of the four upper
outlets.
Note –
For disk arrays installed in Sun StorEdge Expansion Cabinets, follow the
power cabling diagram in the Sun StorEdge A5000 Hardware Configuration Guide, part
number 805-0264.
