How to install Eaton Basic Rack PDU

• Prepare the rack space: Ensure a clean, level mounting area within a standard 19-inch rack, with adequate airflow and clearance around the installation site. Verify that the rack rails and door clearance support the PDU and any connected devices, and have the necessary cage nuts and mounting screws ready for front-mount installation.
• Mount the PDU: Attach the PDU to the rack rails using the appropriate hardware. Align it securely in a front-mount position to provide convenient access to the outlets and to keep cables neatly routed. Ensure the unit sits flush with the rack to minimize movement and vibration during operation.
• Connect the input power: Connect the L6-30P input plug to a suitable 30A, 200-240V power source that complies with local electrical codes. Confirm that the power source is switched off before making connections, and verify that the incoming circuit can safely handle the load projected by the PDU and connected equipment.
• Route and organize outputs: Route the output cords from the PDU outlets to the IT devices, keeping pathways tidy and away from airflow obstructions or hot components. Use cable management accessories to prevent tangling and minimize strain on plugs, strengthening reliability and ease of maintenance.
• Power on and verify operation: Power on the rack and check that all outlets are delivering power to connected devices. Confirm proper distribution across circuits and look for any fault indicators on the PDU. Document outlet assignments to support asset management and future troubleshooting.
