Danger and Caution Warnings
(R001 part 1 of 2):
DANGER: Observe the following precautions when working on or around your IT rack
system:
 Heavy equipment–personal injury or equipment damage might result if
mishandled.
 Always lower the leveling pads on the rack cabinet.
 Always install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet.
 To avoid hazardous conditions due to uneven mechanical loading, always install
the heaviest devices in the bottom of the rack cabinet. Always install servers and
optional devices starting from the bottom of the rack cabinet.
 Rack-mounted devices are not to be used as shelves or work spaces. Do not
place objects on top of rack-mounted devices. In addition, do not lean on rack
mounted devices and do not use them to stabilize your body position (for
example, when working from a ladder).
 Each rack cabinet might have more than one power cord.
– For AC powered racks, be sure to disconnect all power cords in the rack
cabinet when directed to disconnect power during servicing.
 Connect all devices installed in a rack cabinet to power devices installed in the
same rack cabinet. Do not plug a power cord from a device installed in one rack
cabinet into a power device installed in a different rack cabinet.
 An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage on
the metal parts of the system or the devices that attach to the system. It is the
responsibility of the customer to ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and
grounded to prevent an electrical shock.
(R001 part 2 of 2):
CAUTION:

© Copyright IBM Corporation 2020. Customer Install Guide, PDU 11
 Do not install a unit in a rack where the internal rack ambient temperatures will
exceed the manufacturer's recommended ambient temperature for all your rack-
mounted devices.
 Do not install a unit in a rack where the air flow is compromised. Ensure that air
flow is not blocked or reduced on any side, front, or back of a unit used for air
flow through the unit.
 Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply
circuit so that overloading of the circuits does not compromise the supply wiring
or overcurrent protection. To provide the correct power connection to a rack,
refer to the rating labels located on the equipment in the rack to determine the
total power requirement of the supply circuit.
 (For sliding drawers.) Do not pull out or install any drawer or feature if the rack
stabilizer brackets are not attached to the rack. Do not pull out more than one
drawer at a time. The rack might become unstable if you pull out more than one
drawer at a time.
 (For fixed drawers.) This drawer is a fixed drawer and must not be moved for
servicing unless specified by the manufacturer. Attempting to move the drawer
partially or completely out of the rack might cause the rack to become unstable or
cause the drawer to fall out of the rack.
CAUTION:
Removing components from the upper positions in the rack cabinet improves rack
stability during relocation. Follow these general guidelines whenever you relocate a
populated rack cabinet within a room or building.
 Reduce the weight of the rack cabinet by removing equipment starting at the top
of the rack cabinet. When possible, restore the rack cabinet to the configuration
of the rack cabinet as you received it. If this configuration is not known, you must
observe the following precautions:
– Remove all devices in the 32U position and above.
– Ensure that the heaviest devices are installed in the bottom of the rack cabinet.
– Ensure that there are little-to-no empty U-levels between devices installed in
the rack cabinet below the level, unless the received configuration specifically
allowed it.

© Copyright IBM Corporation 2020. Customer Install Guide, PDU 12
 If the rack cabinet you are relocating is part of a suite of rack cabinets, detach the
rack cabinet from the suite.
 If the rack cabinet you are relocating was supplied with removable outriggers
they must be reinstalled before the cabinet is relocated.
 Inspect the route that you plan to take to eliminate potential hazards.
 Verify that the route that you choose can support the weight of the loaded rack
cabinet. Refer to the documentation that comes with your rack cabinet for the
weight of a loaded rack cabinet.
 Verify that all door openings are at least 760 x 230 mm (30 x 80 in.).
 Ensure that all devices, shelves, drawers, doors, and cables are secure.
 Ensure that the four leveling pads are raised to their highest position.
 Ensure that there is no stabilizer bracket installed on the rack cabinet during
movement.
 Do not use a ramp inclined at more than 10 degrees.
 When the rack cabinet is in the new location, complete the following steps:
– Lower the four leveling pads.
– Install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet.
– If you removed any devices from the rack cabinet, repopulate the rack cabinet
from the lowest position to the highest position.
 If a long-distance relocation is required, restore the rack cabinet to the
configuration of the rack cabinet as you received it. Pack the rack cabinet in the
original packaging material, or equivalent. Also lower the leveling pads to raise
the casters off the pallet and bolt the rack cabinet to the pallet.

These documents contain important safety and environmental information along with
specific installation instructions and specifications for the Cloud Pak for Data System
building blocks.
PDU Description
This document is used in conjunction with the IBM Rack and System Install Guide to
provide guidance on the installation and setup of the Cloud Pak for Data System PDUs.
Both documents can be found in the Safety and Regulatory CD that is shipped with your
Cloud Pak for Data System components. The install documentation for other Cloud
Pak for Data System building blocks (servers, switches, etc.) is also included in the
Safety and Regulatory CD.
General PDU Description:
The Cloud Pak for Data System PDUs are 1U power distribution units that take wall
power from the data center and distribute it throughout the rack. The PDUs contain
one input power cord and twelve switched and monitored, C13 output receptacles /
outlets capable of powering the Cloud Pak for Data System building blocks.

© Copyright IBM Corporation 2020. Customer Install Guide, PDU 16
All C13 receptacles are on the front of the PDU. The PDU is mounted in the rear of the
rack, making the receptacles easily accessible. PDUs can be mounted vertically in
rack-side pockets or horizontally. If mounted horizontally, the PDU takes up one EIA
(1U) of rack space and requires the included 4-point mounting kit.
PDUs can utilize different input power cords to accommodate various power types.
See individual descriptions for a table of power limitations and plug types. All Cloud
Pak for Data System building blocks utilize industry standard C13-C14 input line cords.

PDU loading: PDU input power limits are determined by the geography, power type and
line cord. PDU loads are determined by the components that plug into the C13
receptacles. The load can never exceed the maximum allowed amperage (or derated
amperage as required) of the input line cord as listed in the PDU line cord tables (4&5).
Amperage and wattage of the loads can be found in the install documentation for the
individual Cloud Pak for Data System building blocks or in the IBM Site Survey. Verify
all information by cross checking with the rating labels located on the equipment in the
rack.
The power loading of the Cloud Pak PDUs must follow these rules:
1. Total power load that is connected to the PDU must be limited to below the amperage
that is listed in the line cord tables.
2. Total power load that is connected to any one circuit breaker must be limited to 16 A
(derated value of circuit breaker).
3. Total power load that is connected to any one IEC320-C13 outlet must be limited to
10 A.
Note: The load on the PDU when a dual line configuration is used is only half the total
load of the system. When you are calculating the power load on the PDU, you must
include the total power load of each drawer even if the load is distributed over two
PDUs.
Plan for redundant power: Cloud Pak for Data system components use dual power
supplies for redundancy. Each power supply is capable of powering the system
component it resides in, but power is split 50/50 when both supplies are energized.
PDUs must be sized to power 100% of the components they connect to in order to
ensure adequate power if one side fails.

© Copyright IBM Corporation 2020. Customer Install Guide, PDU 18
It is important not to exceed the 16 amp limit of each circuit breaker. Cloud Pak
components are sized to stay at or below the 10 amp C13 receptacle limit (figure 2).
See figures 3 and 4 for typical redundant PDU install and connection to Cloud Pak
building blocks. See figure 5 for physical PDU alignment in the rack.

Plan for power outages: Consider purchasing an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to
protect your system against power fluctuations and outages. If your company owns an
uninterruptible power supply, involve your uninterruptible power supply vendor with any
type of uninterruptible power supply modification.
Plan an emergency power-off switch: As a safety precaution, you should provide some
method for disconnecting power to all equipment in your rack. Put emergency power-
off (EPO) switches in locations readily accessible to your systems operator and at
designated exits from the room.
Ground or earth your system: Electrical grounding is important both for safety and
correct operation. Your electrician should follow your national and local electrical codes
when installing the electrical wiring, outlets, and power panels. These codes take
precedence over any other recommendations.
Contact an electrician: Contact a qualified electrician to take care of your PDU power
requirements and install the needed wall power receptacles. Give the electrician a copy
of your Power Information Table. IBM installers can also share reference wiring
diagrams to clarify your power sizing needs. Note that IBM installers will do the in-rack
power and signal cabling once the components and PDUs are racked.
Control Ports: Each PDU contains a RJ45 port on the front (labeled Ethernet) to enable
organizations to monitor the electrical power usage of each receptacle and to remotely
switch any receptacle on or off. This can be done by Command Line Interface (CLI),
WEB Graphical User Interface (GUI) and Simple Management Network Protocol
(SNMP). PDUs also have serial port access through a dedicated RS232 port in the
front.
Control Port Limitation: At this time, the intelligent management capabilities of the PDU
are not configured or used by the system. If organizations with Cloud Pak for Data
Systems would like to use this capability, it is their responsibility to configure the PDU
per the configuration section in this document and on the Knowledge Center. Flash
upgrades can be found on Fix Central.
Password: The PDU is shipped with a generic PDU password. IBM strongly urges
organizations to change it upon installation. Some geographies using newer firmware
may require a password reset at first log in. If it is necessary to reset the password, be
sure to record the password for later use. Newer
