How to Install Eaton 3.7kW Switched PDU - LX Platform

Before installation, ensure you have a compatible 19-inch rack with at least 1U of vertical space and adequate clearance for cables and venting. Prepare the installation area to minimize clutter and ensure proper airflow around the PDU. Unpack the unit and verify that the contents match the product description, including the C20 inlet with the L6-20P adapter and the 2.4-meter input cord.

1) Mount the PDU in the rack: Align the PDU with adjacent equipment rails, secure it using the included mounting hardware, and verify that it sits firmly within the 1U space. Ensure there is enough clearance for cabling and for the switchable outlets to be accessed without obstruction.

2) Connect power: Attach the L6-20P adapter to the C20 inlet and connect the other end to your main power source compatible with 208/230V single-phase service. Route the 2.4-meter cord so it does not impede access to other equipment or airflow.

3) Connect devices: Plug your servers, storage, and networking gear into the 8 IEC C13 outlets. Distribute loads to avoid overloading any single outlet or the overall PDU, and group critical devices for prioritized power control if your deployment strategy requires it.

4) Configure the LX Platform: Access the PDU’s network management interface via the web UI or your preferred management tool. Set a static IP or DHCP, configure user access levels, and enable per-outlet switching, energy metering (if supported), and alert thresholds. Save the configuration and test functionality by performing a controlled power cycle on a non-critical outlet to verify remote control works as expected.

5) Integrate with monitoring systems: If you use SNMP-based monitoring, add the PDU to your monitoring server and verify that outlet-level status, current draw, and power metrics are being reported. Enable email or syslog alerts to notify your team of power events, and document the configuration for future audits or procurement reviews.

Frequently asked questions

What outlets does this PDU provide?

Eight IEC C13 outlets deliver power to common IT equipment such as servers, storage arrays, and network devices. The outlets are managed through the LX Platform for remote control and monitoring, enabling precise power management across critical devices.

What input configuration does it require?

The PDU uses a C20 input inlet and ships with an L6-20P adapter to support 208/230V single-phase power. A 2.4-meter cord provides flexible routing for installation in most standard racks.

Does it support per-outlet switching and monitoring?

Yes. The LX Platform enables per-outlet switching and network-based monitoring, allowing you to manage individual outlets, set schedules, and receive alerts based on power events or abnormal usage patterns.

Is this PDU suitable for government or enterprise deployments?

Yes. It is TAA-compliant, making it appropriate for procurement in government, education, and enterprise environments that require traceable supply chains and compliant purchasing.

How does this PDU help with energy management?

The integrated LX Platform provides visibility into power usage, enabling better capacity planning, more efficient load distribution, and proactive maintenance. Outlet-level data helps identify underutilized devices and optimize overall power consumption in the rack.
