Racking Guidelines and
Power Distribution
Distribution Units (PDUs) according to the voltage used in the country the solution is ordered. These PDUs
provide redundant power and are located in the bottom and back of the cabinet for power cable
entrance by the floor. The PDUs are 220/240V. The 220/240V PDUs are 0U high with a total of two
AC power cords extending outside the cabinet.
For the EVA4100 Starter Kits, EVA4100, EVA6100 and EVA8100 a variety of HP 10000 G2 Series
Rack offerings and integration options are available. The EVA configurator tools utilize a 42U HP 10000
G2 Series Rack as the standard recommendation and will provide a 220/240V PDU and country
specific power cords. The EVA4100 Starter Kits and EVA4100/6100/8100 configurations can be
customized to meet a wide variety of customer needs. Both the height and types of rack and PDUs can be
modified based upon the specific customer need. If other devices, such as servers, switches or back-up
devices, are to be installed with the EVA; this can be specified and the cabinets and PDUs can be
modified to support the configuration. The EVA4100 Starter Kits and EVA4100/6100 also support 22U
and 36U racks and 100V PDUs.

The EVA also supports the 5642 (42U) Rack Cabinet System as a field installed option.
NOTE: When adding additional devices to existing racks ensure that the installed PDUs will support the
new power requirements.
