Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a front-end PDU and how does it differ from standard PDUs?
A: A front-end PDU is positioned at the input side of power distribution systems, connecting to primary power sources. This IBM 39Y8938 provides 30A power distribution as the first stage in distributed power interconnect architectures.
Q: What equipment is compatible with the NEMA L5-30P connector?
A: The NEMA L5-30P connector is designed for 30 amp power distribution applications requiring secure twist-lock connections. It's compatible with IBM server racks and other enterprise equipment supporting this power standard.
Q: How does DPI (Distributed Power Interconnect) work with this PDU?
A: DPI power distribution creates a hierarchical power delivery system. This front-end unit serves as the primary distribution point, feeding power to secondary PDUs — perfect for rack mount power distribution in large-scale deployments.
Q: Is this PDU suitable for high-density server installations?
A: Yes. The 30A 125V capacity combined with IBM power distribution unit engineering provides reliable power delivery for high-density server configurations requiring robust front-end power management.
