how to install Eaton 5.8kW 208/120V 3PH Monitored PDU

• Plan the installation by verifying rack space, power availability, and clearances around the equipment. Ensure your data center or server room has appropriate cooling and a dedicated 208/120V three-phase feed that matches the L21-20P input requirement.
• Mount the PDU in a standard 19" rack, aligning the mounting flanges with the rack rails. Secure the unit firmly to prevent vibration and movement that could affect connections over time.
• Connect the input power to the L21-20P connector on the PDU. Make sure the circuit breaker and feeder cable are rated for the expected load, and that the installation adheres to all local electrical codes and documentation requirements.
• Plan and connect the 45 outlets to the devices in your rack—servers, storage, switches, and other critical gear. Label outlets clearly to simplify maintenance and future expansions, and avoid overloading any single branch circuit.
• Power on the PDU and verify LCD metrics display correctly. Use the LX interface to configure remote monitoring, alarms, and thresholds. Install any required software or management agents and ensure SNMP or API access is functioning as intended for your DCIM system.
• Set up alarms and alerts for overcurrent, undervoltage, high temperature, and other conditions that could threaten equipment. Establish notification contacts and escalation paths to ensure rapid response.
• Document asset details, including rack location, device assignments, and maintenance schedules. If used in a managed environment, integrate the PDU with your DCIM or IT service management workflow to streamline operations and audits.
