Learn how to select power distribution units (PDUs) for the Dell™ PowerEdge™ M1000e Modular Server Enclosure system along with best practices for PDU installation and cabling.
Dell offers a variety of PDUs in support of the PowerEdge M1000e Modular Server Enclosure system to deliver AC (alternating current) 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 (for example, single- or three-phase power and 20-amp, 30-amp or 60-amp power) and the amount of power required to support the server configuration. The number of PDUs required is based upon the type of PDU and the level of power redundancy required.
