Understanding Power requirement for Cisco MDS 9710 V2 director

I have below details pulled out from the order for Cisco MDS 9710 directors,  and wanted to know how many power connections are required, reading the hardware guide, I understood that "The Cisco MDS 9710 Director supports up to eight hot-swappable 3000-W AC or DC power supplies." I am trying to digest the below order and still couldn't figure out how many power connections are required for the director. The below order is for 2 MDS9710 directors with 6 IO modules each per director. Any help is appreciated...

2 / 210-AWTP Connectrix MDS-9710-V2 8 Blade slot chassis with 2 Sup 4 3 Fab 3 and 4 PSU
4 / 450-AJXF Connectrix MDS 9700 3K WATT Power Supply
12 / 450-AKBP MDS 9700 NEMA L6-20 - United States/Japan
12 / 210-AWUE Connectrix MDS-9700 48 Port 32GB Fibre Channel Module with 0 SFPs included

Hi Pradeep,
How many modules(line cards) you have in the chassis?

There are 6 modules on one director pair and 4 IO modules on another director pair. looking at the order, I figured out that we have 6 Power supplies in the order. Can I get a grid redundancy view for 6 Power connections?

 

Also, can the customer use a very minimum power supply connection to Power up the switch and do the initial config at the temp staging area? If yes, how many connections are required for the director to operate at a minimum? No fiber connections to the switches will be made, this is just for the initial config.
