Circuit Breaker Orientation Limitation
Usually a PDU can be mounted in any orientation. However, when
mounting a PDU with circuit breakers, you must obey these rules:

Circuit breakers CANNOT face down. For example, do not
horizontally mount a Zero U PDU with circuit breakers on the ceiling.

If a rack is subject to shock in environments such as boats or
airplanes, the PDU CANNOT be mounted upside down. If installed
upside down, shock stress reduces the trip point by 10%.
Note: If normally the line cord is down, upside down means the line
cord is up.
Rack-Mounting the PDU
This chapter describes how to rack mount a PX3 device. Only the most
common rackmount method is displayed. Follow the procedure suitable
for your model.
Rackmount Safety Guidelines
In Raritan products which require rack mounting, follow these
precautions:

Operation temperature in a closed rack environment may be
greater than room temperature. Do not exceed the rated
maximum ambient temperature of the Power Distribution Units.
See
Specifications
(on page 656) in the User Guide.

Ensure sufficient airflow through the rack environment.

Mount equipment in the rack carefully to avoid uneven
mechanical loading.
