Connecting the PDU to a Power Source
1. Verify that all circuit breakers on the PX3 device 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 PX3 devices have overcurrent protection mechanisms.
2. Connect each PX3 to an appropriately rated branch circuit. See the
label or nameplate affixed to your PX3 for appropriate input ratings
or range of ratings.
Note: When a PX3 device powers up, it proceeds with the power-on
self test and software loading for a few moments. At this time, the
outlet LEDs cycle through different colors. 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.
