How to install ATEN NRGence 16-Outlets PDU

Follow these practical steps to install the ATEN NRGence 16-Outlets PDU quickly and safely, ensuring optimal performance and cable organization:

• Confirm that you have the correct regional socket configuration (IEC or NEMA) for your locale and that the input power source matches the PDU’s specifications.
• Power down and unplug all devices you plan to connect to the PDU, reducing the risk of electrical shock or data loss during installation.
• Prepare the installation location. The 0U design is intended for rack mounting or placement in spaces where vertical clearance is limited; ensure there is adequate airflow and clearance around the unit for cooling and accessibility.
• Mount the PDU in a suitable 19-inch rack using standard rail hardware, aligning outlets for easy access and minimal cable interference. Verify that the mounting hardware is tightened securely to prevent movement during operation.
• Connect the PDU’s input power cord to a properly rated power source. Route the cables neatly to minimize clutter and to improve airflow. Connect your devices to the 16 outlets according to organizational needs or device type, labeling outlets if necessary for quick identification.
• Power on the PDU and verify that all outlets supply power to connected devices. Check the surge protection indicator (if present) and confirm that devices are functioning normally without unexpected tripping or voltage irregularities.
