NetBAY rack Power Distribution Unit introduction

The IBM NetBAY Rack Power Distribution Unit is part of the Rack Modular Power Distribution Unit (M/PDU) family and enables you to connect up to seven devices to a single dedicated power source, such as an electrical outlet or an uninterruptable power supply (UPS). The Rack PDU has one power inlet and seven IEC standard power outlets.

Notes:

1.Power cables for devices that you will connect to the Rack PDU do not come with the Rack PDU.

2.You will have some unused parts depending upon how you install the Rack PDU.

3.When you install two Rack PDUs you will need some parts from both devices.
