To cable for power

1. Make sure that the power switches on each of the Power and Cooling Modules (PCMs) are in the OFF position.

2. Connect the power cords to each of the PCMs in the primary enclosure.

3. Attach the power cords to the rack power distribution units (PDUs) as shown in the following image. Make sure that the two PCMs use separate power sources.

   [!IMPORTANT] To ensure high availability for your system, we recommend that you strictly adhere to the power cabling scheme shown in the following diagram.
