Installation
To set up your eco PDU installation, refer to the installation diagram on the
next page (the numbers in the diagram correspond to the numbered steps), and
do the following:
1. Use a grounding wire to ground the eco PDU by connecting one end of the
wire to its grounding terminal, and the other end of the wire to a suitable
grounded object.
Note:
Do not omit this step. Proper grounding helps to prevent damage to
the unit from surges or static electricity.
2. For each device you want to connect, use its power cable to connect from
the device's AC socket to any available outlet on the eco PDU.
3. Plug the cable that connects the eco PDU to the LAN into the eco PDU's
LAN port.
4. If you are using sensors in your eco PDU installation, connect them to the
sensor ports on the unit’s rear side panel.
Note:
Sensors are optional. Please see
the detailed sensor installation diagrams later in this chapter for
further information.
5. Connect the eco PDU's power cord to an AC power source.
Note:
We strongly advise that you do not plug the eco PDU into a multi
socket extension cord, since it may not receive enough amperage to
operate correctly.
Once you have finished these installation steps, you can turn on the eco PDU
and the connected devices.
Note:
We strongly recommend using cable ties and cable bars to safely and
securely route the cables attached to the front of the unit.
