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.
To connect your devices:
1.
Verify that each circuit breaker is in the On position.
2.
For 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.
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 117.
NOTE
The maximum cable length is 2.99m (9.8 ft). If you install an EMP, the
ePDU serial port must be dedicated to the EMP.
NOTE
You may find it useful to document the connections you make.
NOTE 1
Plug the ePDU into an appropriately rated outlet for its type.
NOTE 2
Do not replace or rewire the power cord.
