Dell offers a variety of Power Distribution Units (PDU) in support of the PowerEdge M1000e Modular Server Enclosure system to deliver AC power from the facility to the Power Supply Units in the enclosure. Selection of the proper PDU is based upon the type of AC power the facility can provide (e.g. single or three phase, 20 Amp, 30 Amp or 60 Amp) and the amount of power required to support the customer’s configuration. The quantity of PDUs required is based upon the type of PDU and the level of power redundancy required.

Best practices for PDU installation, cable connection, and cable management are discussed.
