4.
Use the mounting method appropriate to your installation to mount the EMP in a convenient location
anywhere on the rack.
5.
If desired, use cable ties to secure the Ethernet cable out of the way as needed.
6.
On startup, the ePDU automatically recognizes the EMP.
Connecting the Output Devices
The ePDU outlets are available for connecting and monitoring devices such as workstations, servers, and
switches. Connect a device you want to monitor to a power outlet on the ePDU with the power cord that comes
with the device.
NOTE
You may find it useful to document the connections you make.
To connect your devices:
1.
Verify that each circuit breaker is in the On position.
2.
ePDUs with detachable power cords.
If the power cord is not connected, connect the power cord to the
ePDU. Otherwise, go to Step 3.
3.
Route the ePDU power cord toward a dedicated power source. If desired, use cable ties to secure the
power cord as needed. If the power cord must exit the rack cabinet to connect to a power source, use the
openings in the rack cabinet.
NOTE 1
Plug the ePDU into an appropriately rated outlet for its type.
NOTE 2
Do not replace or rewire the power cord.
4.
Connect the power cord to a properly wired and grounded dedicated power source. The ePDU turns on
and displays the Eaton startup screen while starting. After five seconds, the sequence of LCD
screensaver screens for this ePDU model begin cycling.
5.
Verify that no alarms display on the LCD. To resolve alarms, see “Maintenance and Alarms” on page 127.
6.
Connect your output devices to the outlet outlets on the ePDU. Verify that each device is receiving power
before connecting the next device.
NOTE
To avoid large surge currents, connect the protected equipment to the outlets
individually rather than as a group. You may want to include a delay for Switched and
Managed models when setting up groups of outlets to start at the same time to
avoid a large in-rush current.
7.
Engage the lever for the IEC outlet grip plug retention mechanism on the side of the outlet from “O” to
“+.”
NOTE
Only unplug the power cord when the grip plug retention mechanism is in the "+"
position in an emergency.
8.
Route all power cords neatly. If desired, use cable ties to secure the cords.
