For use in North America, this AC feeder box requires a specialized data center with power wired like a data center in Europe. BYNET V5 cabinet: Two AC boxes of the same type per cabinet. For cabinets with the 108-port or 324-port switch, the AC box type is a single-cord AC box with a plug rated at 30A for North America and rated at 32A for Europe. The plug is used for both single-phase (220-240V line-to-neutral) or phase-to-phase (200, 208V) connections. Each cabinet has two AC boxes; each AC box has one power cord for a total of two power cords per cabinet. For cabinets with the 648-port switch, the AC box type is a dual-cord AC box with a plug rated at 30A for North America and rated at 32A for Europe. The plug is used for both single-phase (220-240V line-to-neutral) or phase-to-phase (200, 208V) connections. Each cabinet has two AC boxes; each AC box has two power cords for a total of four power cords per cabinet. The PFC cabinet has two AC boxes of the same type per cabinet.

Operating System	SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (SLES 11 SP1)
Teradata Database	Teradata Database Release 15.00.xx.xx Contact your Teradata representative to confirm the exact version of the Teradata Database and PDE packages required for this platform.
Full Disk Encryption	The 1800 platform supports full disk encryption for all database node disks, storage disks, and server disks in all system cabinets. Some Teradata Managed Servers may have database data on the TMS drives (temporarily or permanently). Full disk encryption is offered for these Teradata Managed Servers with self-encrypting drives (Dell R720 and later). Dell R710 servers do not use self-encrypting drives (SED).
