Before specifying a rack PDU connection
1. Identify the plug and socket. Match the physical format used at the installation.
2. Confirm electrical ratings. Verify voltage, frequency, current and equipment input requirements.
3. Preserve protective earth. Confirm grounding and the applicable local standard for the exact installation.
