Original Press Release:



HP Ships 8.6 and 11 KVA Three-Phase Modular Power Distribution Units



(Houston, July 10, 2007) - HP unveiled the new HP 8.6 kVA and 11 kVA Three-Phase Modular Power Distribution Units (PDUs). These PDUs are perfect for blade systems and find and ideal application among customers with a dense data center environment requiring rack-mount power distribution. They address the lack of sufficient outlet receptacles and space in the rack, the difficulty to access the PDU outlets, as well as the high amperage needed to support blade systems. Each new unit uses a standard three-phase input plug and has six IEC C19 outlets.

The three-phase PDUs use HP's unique modular architecture, which is designed specifically for data center customers who want to maximize power distribution and space efficiencies in the rack. Modular PDUs consist of two building blocks: the Control Unit (core) and up to six optional Extension Bars (sticks). The Control Unit may be mounted in a 1U/0U space, and the Extension Bars mount directly to the frame of the rack in multiple locations. Extension bars have seven outlets each bringing the possible total number of outlets to 42 for each HP Three-Phase Modular PDU.

Benefits and Key Features:
