Ensure that your physical site meets the installation requirements for the redundant ac-power switch.
The redundant ac-power switch requires two independent power sources that are provided through two rack-mounted power distribution units (PDUs). The PDUs must have IEC320-C13 outlets.
The redundant ac-power switch comes with two IEC 320-C19 to C14 power cables to connect to rack PDUs. There are no country-specific cables for the redundant ac-power switch.
The power cable between the redundant ac-power switch and the 2145 UPS-1U is rated at 10 A.
The following tables list the physical characteristics of the redundant ac-power switch.
