E7681A HP 30 amp Power Distribution Unit (North America)

E7681A is the North America version of the HP 30 amp power distribution unit for Rack System E, with E7682A as the international version. It runs on 200-240 V through an attached 3.0 m L6-30P power cord and provides two C19 outlets and eight C13 outlets. For the 10K G2 rack, the 30 amp PDU is 252663-D74 for North America and Japan or 252663-B33 for international use.

E7681A is supported with the HP 9000 rp7420, rp7440, rp8420 and rp8440 and the HP Integrity rx7620 and rx8620. Each 30 amp PDU supports only one rp7420, rp8420, rx7620 or rx8620 server, unlike the 60 amp PDU. A rack that holds peripherals and only one rp7420 or rx7620 is likely to be best supported with the 30 amp PDU. It is a separate part that goes with any HP server solution.

The A0 and A1 cords, or the B0 and B1 cords, must never share a PDU. Two 30 amp PDUs provide input power redundancy, with A0/A1 on one PDU and B0/B1 on the other, and the second PDU has to be selected by hand because ordering tools do not add it.

E7677A is the 30 amp PDU switch assembly, with an attached 3.0 m (9.8 ft) cable, used to control an E7681A or E7682A externally. E7678A is the PDU switch cable that connects a second E7681A or E7682A to the E7677A. The spare 30 amp power distribution unit for E7681A carries the number E7681-63002.
