Mounting PDUs Mounting PDUs There are currently two types of Cisco branded PDUs: ■ Type 1: Blade Server Optimized PDU Type 2: Rack-Mount Server Optimized PDU Type 1: Blade Server Optimized PDU Blade server optimized PDUs are shown in Table 4. Table 4 Blade Server Optimized PDUs Product ID (PID) Cisco blade server optimized PDUs have 4 x IEC C19 receptacles and 2 x C13 receptacles. The PDU receptacle configuration has been optimized for use with the UCS 5108 chassis and Fabric Interconnects. The 4x C19 receptacles can be used to power the UCS 5108 chassis and the 2x C13 receptacles are...

Mounting PDUs Type 1 PDUs can be mounted either in the 19-inch rack space taking up 1U of space per PDU, or in the sides of the rack, taking up 0U of space. Using the 1U mounting scheme allows 6 PDUs and up to 6 chassis to be installed but does not leave any space in the rack for the Fabric Interconnects. The 1U PDU rack space mounting scheme is shown in Figure 7. Mounting a Cisco 1-RU PDU in the Rack Space

Mounting PDUs Mounting in the side panel space allows up to 6 PDUs to be installed while still providing rack space for up to 6 chassis and a pair of Fabric Interconnects (see Figure 8). Mounting a Cisco 1-RU PDU on the Side of the Rack

Mounting PDUs Type 2: Rack-Mount Server Optimized PDU Rack-mount server optimized PDUs are shown in Table 5. Table 5 Rack-Mount Server Optimized PDUs Product ID (PID) The UCS Type 2 PDU has 4x IEC C19 receptacles and 20x C13 receptacles. The PDU receptacle configuration has been optimized for configurations that require a large number C13 terminated power cords, for example rack mount servers. The Type 2 receptacle configuration is shown in Figure 9. Type 2 PDU Front Panel Grounding point

Mounting PDUs The PDUs mount in the rear of the rack in two different ways. The first way, shown in Figure 10, is in the PDU tray with the receptacles facing sideways into the rack. Mounting Cisco Zero-RU PDUs Although there are mounting holes that support up to 6 PDUs, three on each side in the rear of the Cisco R4210 rack, the number of PDUs that can physically be installed will be defined by the depth of the equipment that is installed in the rack. For example, if a customer wishes to use a Type 2 PDU to power both the UCS chassis and other equipment such as storage in the rack then you...
