configurations Each system configuration contains several disk enclosures included in the storage system. See Figure 15 (page 19) for a typical EVA6400/8400 rack configuration. The standard rack is the 42U HP 10000 Intelligent Series rack. The EVA6400/8400 is also supported with 22U, 36U, 42U 5642 - HP EVA8400 | HP 6400/8400 Enterprise Virtual Array User Guide (5697-2479, Septem - Page 20
NOTE: This section describes the most common power distribution system for EVA6400/8400s. For information about other options, see the HP power distribution units website: http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/proliantstorage/power-protection/pdu.html AC power is distributed to the rack through - HP EVA8400 | HP 6400/8400 Enterprise Virtual Array User Guide (5697-2479, Septem - Page 21
compatible with the site power distribution, you must replace the PDU power cord cable connector. One option is the NEMA L5-30R receptacle, 3-wire, 30-A, 60-Hz connector. Each of the two PDU power cables has an AC power source specific connector. The circuit breaker-controlled PDU outputs are routed - HP EVA8400 | HP 6400/8400 Enterprise Virtual Array User Guide (5697-2479, Septem - Page 22
The AC power distribution within a rack ensures a balanced load to each PDU and reduces the possibility of an overload condition. Changing the cabling to or from a PDM could cause an overload condition. HP supports only the AC power distributions defined in this user guide. 22 EVA6400/8400 hardware - HP EVA8400 | HP 6400/8400 Enterprise Virtual Array User Guide (5697-2479, Septem - Page 23

Rack AC power distribution The power distribution configuration in a Rack System/E rack depends on the number of storage systems installed in the rack. If one storage system is installed, only two PDUs are required. If multiple storage systems are installed, four PDUs are required. 24 EVA6400/8400 - HP EVA8400 | HP 6400/8400 Enterprise Virtual Array User Guide (5697-2479, Septem - Page 25
