Re: HMC Question -- MIDRANGE-L

Mark,

 It's actually:

Wall - > UPS - > PDU - > All your stuff. Optionally you can also plug some of your stuff directly into the UPS if you'd like.

As for capacity you need to 'do the math' again and total up all the requirements of the servers, HMC, etc to find out if it's got enough juice. Plan B is to plug it all in and see if the magic smoke comes out. I don't think that would make Cole happy though!!

The PDU in the rack should also work with xSeries machines though if you get redundant power on the x boxes and only have one PDU you'll rapidly run out of plugs. Each PDU only supports about 6 connections so

Correct me if I am wrong. Power comes from the wall into the PDU. The UPS (9910-P33) is connected to the PDU, and the iSeries and HMC are connected to the UPS. Stuff like the external DVD can be connected to the PDU.

So here is my questions, for our 3 xSeries servers, does the UPS have enough juice to take all of those, plus our iSeries and HMC or would we want a second rack-mount UPS to power the xSeries servers? In this scenario, the PDU would seem to have enough plugs since it is really just the UPS that is plugged into it.
Thanks
