Chapter 2 Connecting and Routing Cables to the HP NetServer LXr 8000 Placement of PDU To determine where the PDU mounts, eliminate positions directly behind equipment listed in Table 2-2. (PDUs conflict with these units when mounted in the same space). Then decide the most convenient location. The PDU can be mounted vertically using the non-EIA mounting holes on the outer edges of the vertical columns (except in the case of the LXr Pro8, where it mechanically conflicts). Or it can be mounted horizontally between the columns. Figures 2-3, 2-4, and 2-5 show possible PDU positions and orientations. The PDU is usually mounted horizontally across the rack opening but can be mounted vertically on the opposite side of the rack from the door hinges. Table 2-2.
