how to install Eaton 1.4kW Switched PDU

• Plan the rack placement: Determine the best location within the 19" rack for optimal cable management, accessibility, and cooling clearance. Ensure the PDU will reach a suitable 120V power source with its 12 ft cord.
• Mount the PDU: Slide the unit into the rails of the 19" rack and secure it with the appropriate screws or cage nuts to ensure stable, vibration-free operation in a busy data center environment.
• Connect to power: Plug the NEMA 5-15P end of the cord into a compatible 120V power source. Verify that the circuit capacity supports the expected load (the PDU is rated for 1.4 kW).
• Attach devices: Connect servers, storage, and networking gear to the eight 5-15R outlets. Use cable management practices to minimize airflow obstruction and improve reliability.
• Configure LX Interface: Access the LX management interface via the connected network. Enable per-outlet control, set up alert thresholds, create power-on/power-off schedules, and define best-practice save/restore procedures for routine maintenance.
• Test and validate: Power on connected equipment and verify outlet-level switching, remote monitoring visibility, and alert functionality. Confirm that scheduled events execute correctly and that critical devices remain powered as intended during maintenance windows.
