Our DELL Rack UPS 1000W has four outlets and we were using one per server. Now the server number is increasing and we are planning to purchase a PDU.
Is it fine to connect the PDU to only one UPS outlet and load the UPS completely unbalanced? Should we purchase two PDUs and try to balance the load?
Thanks.
It depends on the fuses of the different ports, but as the UPS is only 1000W, I would say it is no problem to connect all to a single port (the cables are most likely 10A each, which is around 2300 Watts (EU)), and I guess the ports can atleast handle the maximum of it's cables.
