Dominion PX
Quick Setup Guide
Thank you for purchasing the Dominion PX intelligent power distribution unit (PDU). The intended use of the Raritan Dominion PX is
distribution of power to information technology equipment such as computers and communication equipment where such equipment is
typically mounted in an equipment rack located in an information technology equipment room.
This Quick Setup Guide explains how to install and configure the Dominion PX. For additional information on any aspect of Dominion
PX, see the Dominion PX User Guide, which can be downloaded from the Firmware and Documentation section
(http://www.raritan.com/support/firmware-and-documentation/) of Raritan's website. OR you can access the product's online help in the
Product Online Help section (http://www.raritan.com/support/online-help/). For more detailed information on this release, see the latest
release notes, also available from the Firmware and Documentation section.
For the power cord installation of an inline monitor (PX-3nnn series, where nnn are numeric digits), see the Dominion PX Installation
Guide accompanying the Dominion PX device.

QS Rule
Before You Begin
1. Prepare the installation site. Make sure the installation area
is clean and not exposed to extreme temperatures or
humidity. Allow sufficient space around the Dominion PX
for cabling and outlet connections. Safety instructions are
provided in the Dominion PX User Guide.
2. Fill out the Equipment Setup Worksheet found in the
Dominion PX User Guide. Record the model, serial
number, and use of each IT device connected to the PDU's
power outlets.
QS Rule
Mounting the Dominion PX
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
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.
Mounting 1U or 2U Models
Using the appropriate brackets and tools, fasten the 1U or 2U
Dominion PX device to the rack or cabinet. If your PDU has
circuit breakers implemented, read
Circuit Breaker
Orientation Limitation
(on page 1) before mounting it.
