Distribution

Distribution

-48 VDC power (from the power enclosures or facility DC power) is carried from the power enclosures to the server blade
enclosures through bus bars (for multiple enclosures) or power bus boxes (for a single enclosure). Hinges attach the bus bars
to the rack rails and provide easy rear access to the blade enclosures and interconnects. Power is distributed through
independent A- and B-sided bus bars.

Three power distribution solutions are available depending on the size of the intended deployment (see table).
