The present disclosure is an apparatus for distributing power which includes a power configuration device and an outlet power strip. The power configuration device may be coupled to the outlet power strip via a cable, the cable including a connector device. The apparatus for distributing power may provide that the power configuration device may only be changed when necessary and the outlet power strip may only be changed when necessary, creating a modular power system for computer and data storage equipment which may allow for efficient and cost-effective power distribution modifications.

Apparatus for distributing power

Various techniques for flexible power supply in computing facilities are described herein. In one embodiment, a power distribution unit includes a first subsystem for receiving power from a power source and a second subsystem electrically coupled to one or more of the processing units in the component enclosure. The first subsystem includes a number of power supplies coupled to the power source, and the number of power supplies corresponds to a power requirement of the processing units.
