Abstract:
A power distribution unit (PDU) mounted within the structure of a rack. A mechanical interface secures the PDU to a portion of the rack structure, such as within a post of the rack. The PDU is configured to provide electrical power to computing assets mounted in the rack. Securing the PDU within the rack structure allows the PDU to be placed in an unobtrusive position that does not occupy space between the rack posts, increasing the space between the rack posts available for mounting computing assets.
