how to install Eaton ATS Rack PDU

Step 1: Prepare the rack and workspace — Confirm your rack is a standard 19-inch enclosure with adequate depth to accommodate the 1U PDU. Clear the area around the rack to ensure safe handling of the equipment and to allow for proper ventilation. Verify that your electrical infrastructure can supply 110–125 V and supports the dual NEMA 5-15P inputs specified for this unit.

Step 2: Mount the PDU in the rack — Position the PDU at the desired location within the rack, typically near the top to minimize cable congestion. Align the mounting flanges with the rack’s vertical mounting rails and secure the unit using appropriate screws. Ensure the PDU sits level and that there is sufficient clearance for cable access and airflow around the unit.

Step 3: Connect the power inputs — Attach the two NEMA 5-15P input cords to two independent 110–125 V power sources or feeders as required by your data center power policy. Route the input cords neatly, avoiding sharp bends and ensuring they won’t be pinched when rack doors or panels are closed. If you are using a power distribution topology with redundancy, connect each input cord to its own dedicated power circuit or UPS output as appropriate.

Step 4: Connect equipment to the outlets — Plan the device layout so that critical components receive immediate access to power from the 8 x NEMA 5-15R outlets. Group high-priority devices together on dedicated outlets if desired, and label each outlet for quick identification during maintenance. Keep cords organized with ties or velcro to minimize clutter and improve airflow within the rack.

Step 5: Cable management, safety, and testing — Manage cables to prevent tangling and ensure hot air from equipment does not accumulate around the PDU. Perform a visual check to confirm all connections are secure before powering on. With power applied, gradually load the outlets to verify stable voltage and proper operation. If you’re integrating with a UPS or PDU monitoring system, configure any management interfaces as required and run a brief functional test to ensure all outlets respond correctly to the connected devices.

Safety notes: Always follow the manufacturer’s installation manual and your facility’s electrical safety procedures. Do not exceed the rated 1.44 kVA / 12 A capacity. Ensure a total power draw from all connected devices remains within the 110–125 V range to prevent nuisance trips or overheating. If you are unsure about dual-input wiring or rack-mount safety, consult a qualified electrician or IT professional.
