Connecting the PDU to a Power Source
1. Verify that all circuit breakers on the Legrand PDU are set to ON. If not, turn them ON.
Or make sure that all fuses are inserted and seated properly. If there are any fuse covers, ensure that
they are closed.
Note: Not all models have overcurrent protectors.
2. Connect each Legrand PDU to an appropriately rated branch circuit. See the label or nameplate affixed
to your Legrand PDU for appropriate input ratings or range of ratings.
Note: When a Legrand PDU powers up, it proceeds with the power-on self test and software loading for
a few moments. Note that outlet LEDs are only available on some PDU models.
3. When the software has completed loading, the outlet LEDs show a steady color and the front panel
display illuminates.
Connecting the Legrand PDU to Your Network
To remotely administer the Legrand PDU, you must connect the Legrand PDU to your local area network
(LAN). Legrand PDU can be connected to a wired or wireless network.
Note: If your Legrand PDU will work as a master device in the bridging mode, you must make a wired
connection. See
Cascading Multiple Legrand PDUs for Sharing Ethernet Connectivity
(on page 32).
Ethernet port of Legrand PDU must be enabled for the described connection to work properly, which has
been enabled per default. See
Wired Network Settings
(on page 141).
To make a wired connection:
1. Connect a standard network patch cable to the Ethernet port on the Legrand PDU.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to your LAN.
