how to install Eaton Basic Rack PDU

Installing the Eaton Basic Rack PDU is straightforward and quick. First, identify a suitable 19" rack mounting location that provides ample clearance for service access and cooling. Align the PDU with the rack rails and secure it using the appropriate screws or mounting hardware for your enclosure. Connect the C20 input to your facility power via a hardwired connection or approved power distribution pathway, ensuring that your electrical circuit can support up to 16 A and the configured voltage (110–125 V or 208–240 V). Route power cables and device cords neatly to the 12 C13 outlets, using cable ties or management arms to maintain a clean, organized profile. If your rack supports remote control or load monitoring options, enable those features and configure any available software or management interfaces to monitor current load, voltage, and energy consumption. Finally, verify that all devices power on correctly and that the PDU is securely mounted with adequate airflow around the enclosure to prevent overheating. Regular checks on load distribution, circuit protection, and outlet availability will help maximize uptime and extend the life of your IT equipment.
