To prevent accidental unplugging or unseating of power cables, the storage system
includes a rubber cable-retention strap near the AC receptacle on each controller. These
straps, shown in the following image, loop around the neck of a power cable connector,
and the notched tail is slipped over the hook of the restraining bar fixed to the storage
system.
AC power cables
Utility AC power standards for connector types and voltage levels vary by country. Hitachi
provides a variety of power cables that facilitate using storage systems around the world.
Hitachi power cables meet the safety standards for the country for which they are
intended.
Power cable assemblies
For information about racks and power distribution units (PDUs), refer to the Hitachi
Universal V2 Rack Reference Guide.
Hitachi power cables consist of three parts:
■
Plug: Male connector for insertion into the AC outlet providing power. The physical
design and layout of the plug's contact meet a specific standard.
■
Cord: Main section of insulated wires of varying length, whose thickness is
determined by its current rating.
■
Receptacle: Female connector to which the equipment attaches. The physical design
and layout of the receptacle's contacts meet a specific standard. Common standards
are the IEC C13 receptacle for loads up to 10 amperes (A) and the IEC C19 receptacle
for loads up to 15 A.
