Operation Overview
Eaton ePDU G3 Operation Manual P-164000277—Rev 5

Outlets and Circuit Breakers
A variety of outlet types are available for the Eaton ePDUs. Each ePDU model has a specific configuration of
outlets.The configuration can be standard or customized to suit your needs.
The outlets are grouped in sets called sections. Sections are preset groups of individual outlets that you can
identify and monitor through the interfaces that are available with your particular type of ePDU.
The outlets are color-coded and labeled, and if the model has circuit breakers, the circuit breakers that are
associated with the outlets have corresponding labels (see Figure 34). (The “circuit breaker tripped” status is
not reported.)
Outlets and sections of outlets can be managed through the Web Interface (see “Groups” on page 90,
“Outlets” on page 91, and “User-Defined Group Definition” on page 100). You can see measurement readings
using the local LCD interface.

Ports, Operation Buttons, and LED Status Indicators
The Eaton ePDUs include communication and serial ports (also used for environmental sensor monitoring),
operation buttons, and status LEDs (see Figure 35). The ePDU front panel includes communication and
monitoring ports, LED status indicators, and operation buttons. The ports and the associated LED indicators are
described in the following Table 4.
