Page 44
Make sure that only layer 1 and layer 2 devices separate the gateway and slave systems. During a connection, the gateway system assigns the slave system a temporary IP address from an IP address range reserved by NEC Solutions (America), Inc. and uses that address for all traffic.
Correspondingly, two power distribution units (PDUs) provide power to the receptacles. Use of PDUs is optional unless you have a support agreement with NEC Solutions (America), Inc. If you do have a support agreement with NEC Solutions (America), Inc., use pairs of PDUs to provide AC power to systems and components in a cabinet if six or more power cords would otherwise exit from the cabinet.
A-side PDU, complete the information in Tables and 7-2. This information will help you determine the current that the Express5800/320Ma 3.2 GHz, 3.6 GHz, and Dual-Core systems and rack-mounted components will draw and whether you need a second pair of PDUs. To complete Table 7-1 1.
Determining PDU Requirements To complete Table 7-2 1. In column 1, write the names of each system or component in the rack. If you have more than one system, use a row for each system. 2. In column 2, write the cumulative number of rack units (Us): Add the number of Us (see Table 7-1) for the component to the value in the space above and write the...
