2: Installation
Connecting to the Power Source
Attach the power cord to the unit before connecting the unit to the power source.
Each outlet powers up sequentially, with a two-second delay between each outlet,
eliminating a potential blown primary fuse or circuit breaker from excessive in-rush
current.
To attach a power cord to the unit:
1. Plug the female end of the power cord firmly into its connector at the base.
2. Use a screwdriver to tighten the two screws on the retention bracket.
To connect to the power source:
1. Plug the male end of the power cord into the AC power source.
Connecting Devices
To avoid the possibility of noise due to arcing:
1. Keep the device’s on/off switch in the off position until after it is plugged into the
outlet, or log in to the unit and turn the outlets off before connecting the devices
2. Connect devices to the outlets.
On 230V units, install a retention clip for each outlet; Pull the prongs out slightly
and insert them into holes on the sides of the unit, then insert the device’s power
cord and snap the clip over the cord.
Note:
Even distribution of attached devices is recommended across the
available outlets to avoid exceeding the outlet, quad or octet ratings
limitations. See

Note:
The outlet retention clips on the 230V models are designed for use
with Lantronix provided cables. The retention clip may not properly fit 3rd
party cables.
Always disconnect the power supply cord before opening to avoid electrical
shock.
