how to install Eaton Basic Rack PDU

Installing the Eaton Basic Rack PDU is a straightforward process designed for rapid deployment in standard 19-inch racks. Begin by selecting a secure, accessible location in your rack that provides adequate airflow and clearance for front-to-back cooling. Use the provided mounting hardware to secure the 2U unit to the rack rails, ensuring it is level and stable. Because this PDU uses 0 ft cord, you should prepare compatible power cords that match your facility’s electrical system and the L6-30P input connectors. Route the power cables carefully to minimize tension and avoid contact with moving rack components or sharp edges. Once mounted, connect each L6-30P input to your power source(s) following local electrical codes and your data-center policies. After power sources are connected, plug your IT equipment into the two L6-30R outlets, distributing the load to prevent overloading any single outlet or circuit. Verify that the total connected load does not exceed the 24 A rating and that the overall system remains within the 208–240 V range. If your rack includes monitoring or management features, enable any available port monitoring or environmental sensors to track voltage, current, and load balance in real time. Finally, perform a quick check to confirm all devices receive stable power and that there is no overheating or unusual noise from the PDU or connected equipment. Regularly inspect cables and connections as part of ongoing maintenance to ensure long-term reliability and efficient power distribution for the rack.
