Important Safety Instructions
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains instructions and warnings that should be followed
during the installation, operation, and storage of this product. Failure to
heed these instructions and warnings will void the product warranty.
Important Warnings
• The PDU provides convenient multiple outlets, but it DOES NOT provide surge or line noise protection for
connected equipment.
• The PDU is designed for indoor use only in a controlled environment away from excess moisture, temperature
extremes, conductive contaminants, dust or direct sunlight.
• Do not connect the PDU to an ungrounded outlet or to extension cords or adapters that eliminate
the connection to ground.
• The power requirement for each piece of equipment connected to the PDU must not exceed the individual
outlet’s load rating.
• The total power requirement for equipment connected to the PDU must not exceed the maximum load
rating for the PDU.
• Do not drill into or attempt to open any part of the PDU housing. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
• Do not attempt to modify the PDU, including the input plugs and power cables.
• Do not attempt to use the PDU if any part of it becomes damaged.
• Do not attempt to mount the PDU to an insecure or unstable surface.
• Never attempt to install electrical equipment during a thunderstorm.
Installation
Step 1: Determine Installation Configuration.
The PDU supports four primary installation configurations: 1U
Rack, 0U Rack, Wall and Under-Counter. Choose a configuration and follow the installation instructions in the
appropriate section of Step 1 before proceeding to Step 2.
Note: Regardless of installation configuration, the user must determine the fitness of hardware and procedures
before mounting. The PDU and included hardware are designed for common rack and rack enclosure types and
may not be appropriate for all applications. Exact mounting configurations may vary.
Step 1-1: 1U Rack Installation.
Attach the PDU to the rack by inserting four user-supplied screws (A) through
the PDU mounting brackets (B) and into the mounting holes of the rack rail as shown.
Step 1-2: 0U Rack Installation.
Part 1: Remove the screws (C) attaching the mounting brackets to the PDU,
change the orientation of the brackets as shown and reattach the brackets. Use only the screws supplied by the
manufacturer or their exact equivalent (#6-32, 1/4” flat head). Part 2: Attach the PDU vertically by inserting two
or more user-supplied screws (A) through the PDU mounting brackets (B) and into mounting points in the rack
or rack enclosure.
Step 1-3: Wall Installation.
After repeating Part 1 above, attach the PDU to a stable mounting surface by
inserting two or more user-supplied screws (A) through the PDU mounting brackets (B) and into secure
mounting points on the mounting surface.
Step 1-4: Under-Counter Installation.
After repeating Part 1 above, attach the PDU to a stable mounting
surface by inserting four user-supplied screws (A) through the PDU mounting brackets (B) and into secure
mounting points on the mounting surface.
Step 2: Connect PDU to Grounded Outlet.
The PDU includes several plug
adapters which allow the PDU to connect to various outlet types. After choosing the
appropriate plug adapter for the required application, insert the IEC-320-C19
connector (D) of the adapter into the IEC-320-C20 connector (E) of the input cable.
Secure the connection with the Cord Retention Bracket (F) by using the included
bolts to fasten the two halves of the bracket around the connection as shown. Insert
the plug directly into a properly grounded AC outlet that does not share a circuit
with a heavy electrical load (such as an air conditioner or refrigerator).
Caution:
The Line (L1) conductor includes
an over-current protective device for safety. To avoid the risk of electric shock, ensure that the Neutral (L2)
conductor has been identified before connecting the PDU.
1-1
IEC-320-C19 Outlets
IEC-320-C13 Outlets
Circuit Breaker:
If the current drawn by the
equipment connected to the PDU exceeds the
Maximum Load Rating for longer than a few
seconds, the circuit breaker will activate and interrupt
AC power to prevent possible damage. When the
circuit breaker activates, its plunger will pop up.
Disconnect excess equipment from the PDU and
allow the breaker to cool one minute before
depressing the plunger to reset the breaker.

Paso 1: Determine la configuración de la instalación.
La PDU soporta cuatro configuraciones básicas de
instalación: Bastidor de 1U, bastidor de 0U, de pared y debajo de mostrador. Elija una configuración y siga las
instrucciones de instalación en la sección apropiada del Paso 1 antes de continuar al Paso 2.
Nota:
Independientemente de la configuración, el usuario debe determinar la idoneidad de los materiales y accesorios
así como de los procedimientos antes del montaje. La PDU y el material incluido están diseñados para racks
(bastidores) y cajas de rack (bastidor) comunes, y pueden no ser apropiados para todas las aplicaciones.
Paso 1-1: Instalación en bastidor de 1U.
Fije la PDU al bastidor insertando cuatro tornillos suministrados por
el usuario (A) a través de los soportes de montaje (B) de la PDU en los agujeros de montaje del riel del bastidor
como se muestra.
Paso 1-2: Instalación en bastidor de 0U.
Parte 1: Retire los tornillos (C) que fijan los soportes de montaje a la
PDU, cambie la orientación de los soportes como se muestra y fíjelos nuevamente. Use solo los tornillos
incluidos o sus equivalentes exactos (#6-32, 1/4" de cabeza plana). Parte 2: Fije la PDU verticalmente insertando
dos o más tornillos suministrados por el usuario (A) a través de los soportes de montaje (B) de la PDU en los
puntos de montaje en el bastidor o la caja del bastidor.
