Typical outlet group configurations

The following configuration shows two Switched Rack PDUs, each with eight outlet groups. Each outlet group consists of a single global outlet. Each outlet group  on the first Switched Rack PDU is linked to the outlet group  in the same location on the second Switched Rack PDU. One power cord of a dual-corded server  is connected to each outlet on the first Switched Rack PDU, and its other cord is connected to the corresponding outlet on the second Switched Rack PDU, ensuring that output power from both power sources to the server will turn on or off in a synchronized manner in response to an outlet control action.
