Step 5
Plan the placement of the input power receptacles within reach of the power cables used for each power supply (see the
following table for the maximum distances).
Typically, power receptacles are placed on the rack with the switch. If the DC power source is further than allowed by
the DC power cables, you can install a power interface unit (PIU) in the rack with the switch and connect that to the
power source with other cabling.
