NetBAY rack Power Distribution Unit introduction

The IBM NetBAY Rack Power D istribution Unit is pa rt of the Rack Modula r Power
Distribution Unit (M/PDU) family and enabl es you to connect up to seven devices to

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.
