Hello!
We are working to move our current server room setup from an on premises setup to a CoLo setup. We currently use four 120V/20A circuits on two metered PDUs, but will be moving to a pair or 208V/30A circuits on two PDUs.
We use C13 to 5-15P cords on our current systems.
We will probably grab two 208V/30A PDUs, and they favor C19 and C13 plugs on the PDU side.
I wanted to know: Is it safe to just switch to C13 to C19 or C13 to C13 cables on our equipment and call it good?
My assumption is that the PDU does not care how much power draw comes over the cable, it just allows for greater power draw if needed.

Utilize C13 to C19 or C13 Cabling with our Equipment

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.

Server Hardware

electrical

Components are those devices that are internal to a computer -- the PC boards, the central processor (CPU), the memory (RAM), disk and video controllers and so on.

Components

Hardware includes cell phones and other digital living devices, tablets, computers, servers, peripherals and components, printers and scanners, gaming consoles, networking hardware such as routers, hubs, switches and modems, storage devices and security equipment such as firewalls and other appliances.
