What happens here

The current service call involves installing power for three new network racks. Each rack requires two individual power feeds. This means a total of six cables will be run. Each cable needs to terminate with a specific 5-pin, 32-amp IEC pin and sleeve connector. These cables will be connected to 3-pole breakers within the RPP and run underneath the raised floor to the new rack locations.

Goal: Identify the power requirements and cabling specifications for new server racks.

Tools and materials

3-Pole Breaker — Providing circuit protection for each power feed
5-Pin — Connecting the power cable to the server rack's power supply unit
10/4 MC Cable — Providing power from the RPP to the server racks; it is plenum-rated for underfloor use

So we need to put in six 10 4 wire, two, two, and two and we need to come from this series of panels here. So this drop down
