2 Installation
2.1 Installation Notes
The following guidance must be followed for proper
installation of the product.
1. Mounting: This product is designed for mounting
in an EIA-310 compliant 19” rack. The user is
responsible for ensuring the mounting method
provides adequate structural support for the
product, and any attached cables. The user
is also responsible for ensuring the mounting
location provides adequate ventilation to
dissipate heat generated during operation of the
product. Ensure the product is securely mounted
before applying power.
2. There are multiple mounting configurations
derived from the relocatable positioning of the
optional mounting plates, or the use of tool-less
mounting buttons without plates (concentric
circles shown in red). Model-specific details are
available from the web site Product Selector.
3. Chassis ground: The rear of the chassis includes
a redundant chassis ground screw and ground
wire. If desired for your installation location,
connect the chassis ground wire to the rack
cabinet using an appropriate fastener.
4. Optionally, connect the appropriate cables between the PDU outlets and the equipment being powered by the PDU.
This may be done later according to the startup procedures suitable to the end-user’s equipment and application.
5. If applicable, connect the cabling between the PDU and remote EPO control panel.
6. PDU Main Breaker: Ensure the Main Breaker on the front of the PDU is in the off position before connecting the
PDU’s inlet cable to the facility power source. (It is best to switch all breakers to the off position.)
7. Facility Power Source: The single-phase facility power source for this product must include an overcurrent protective
device capacity as defined in the table below.
