Connecting the Power Cables
This section includes instructions on how to connect the server enclosure
with internal or external power source to an external PDU.
Server Enclosure with Internal Power Source
1
On the back of the enclosure, connect the power cables
to the AC power
sockets
.
2
Plug the other end of the power cables into a grounded electrical outlet or
a separate power source such as an uninterrupted power supply or the
PDU.

Server Enclosure with External Power Source
WARNING:
Make sure power is turned off on all devices before making
connections.
1
On the back of the enclosure, connect the power cable
to the DC power
socket
.
2
Tighten the two center screws
on the cable to secure the connection.

Connecting the Server Enclosure to a Rack PDU
WARNING:
Do not connect or disconnect power cables to the PDU device while
the PDU is energized. Turn off the PDU breaker switches to avoid potentially
serious or fatal electrical shock. Move the PDU A, B, and C breaker switches to
the "OFF" position.
1
Unlock the cable cover
.
2
Rotate the cover
back and away from the PDU.
3
Attach the server enclosure(s) power cables to the PDU power bus bar.
NOTE:
The PDU device supports a maximum of five PowerEdge C8000 server
enclosures depending on the system configuration and power budget.
To connect a single server enclosure to the PDU:
a
Secure the three black power cable lugs
to the top power bus bar
(GND) with the three screws
.
b
Secure the three yellow power cable lugs
to the bottom power bus
bar with the three screws
.
