I bought used HP 42u racks with several 0u power distribution units preinstalled. I am ignorant regarding the appropriate implementation of these 208V HP AF512A PDUs with uninterpretable power supplies. Now a 120v double conversion OPTI-UPS DS3000B-RM powers all the equipment but I would like to leverage the 208v PDUs for powering racks and particularly supermicro chassis' with 760W Triple-Redundant AC power supply (100 - 240V, 50-60Hz, 14 Amp).
Most 208v UPSs output L6-30R and L6-20R, none L15-30R (update: UPSs do offer 3 phase L15-30R output). How can I connect the PDUs male L15-30R to a female L6-30R on the UPS? Will the supermicro chassis function well behind such a setup given the voltage, phase, etc?
