124 IBM System x3850 X6 and x3950 X6 Planning and Implementation Guide
4.8 PDU and line cord selection
There are a number of power distribution units (PDUs) that can be used to power the X6
system. The size and type of the PDUs that you select will depend on your country voltage,
type, and number of outlets required, and the system and peripheral device power load. You
can use the IBM Power Configurator to assist in determining your total power load.
Download the IBM Power Configurator from the following link:

This section describes the power supply unit to PDU line cord options available to connect
your X6 power supplies to your PDU source.
4.8.1 Server to PDU power cord options
The PSUs (power supply units) installed in the X6 server have C14 connectors. This means
the line cord you use requires C13 plugs on the server side. One identical power cable is
required for each power supply installed. The default power cable is a 2.8m, 10A/100-250V,
C13 to IEC 320-C14 Rack Power Cable (P46M2982). See Table 4-6 for additional power
cables options for the 900W and 1400W PSUs.
Table 4-6 Server to PDU power cord options
Because of the location of the PSUs at the back of the server, power cables with right angle
plugs will not physically fit into the power supply connector, therefore they are not supported.
