Power considerations

Power requirements and issues to consider when planning for your Lenovo ThinkAgile CP installation.

In planning for the power needs of the ThinkAgile CP solution, consider the following issues:

  • Ensure that the correct number of power receptacles is available based on the quantity of nodes.

  • Ensure that the power cords ordered match the power receptacles in the customer’s rack.

  • Ensure that power cords are ordered with lengths that allow them to connect to the customer-provided PDUs.
