Component Power Usage
The Pillar Axiom 600 system components must be plugged into the PDUs such
that they do not exceed the amperage rating of any outlet group. If you exceed
the amperage rating, the circuit breakers trip.
Except where indicated, the maximum rated amperage of the outlet banks
remains the same regardless of the electrical service voltage. Therefore,
components draw about half the amperage at 230V than at 115V, and you can
plug more components into each power distribution unit (PDU). The table below
lists the maximum electrical requirements of the Pillar Axiom 600 components.
Each component has redundant power cords plugged into different PDUs on
separate circuits.

Note: For information on the electrical requirements of a specific Pillar
Axiom 600 component or the electrical requirements of a mix of various
components, contact the Pillar World Wide Customer Support Center.
With redundant power supplies, the amperage draw for each power cord is rated
for the case when one circuit fails, which increases the amperage draw on the
other cord.
