PowerMax 8000 inward-facing PDU requirements
If using an inward-facing PDU within a third-party rack, refer to the diagram below to ensure that the minimum width (F) and depth (A) of
the rack and PDU combination are sufficient for the array. Inward-facing PDUs may encroach into the service area and make serviceability
more difficult than rear-facing PDUs.
