how to install Eaton ePDU 1-Outlet 2.88 kVA PDU
Preparing for installation starts with selecting a suitable location inside a standard 19-inch rack. Ensure there is adequate airflow around the unit to prevent heat buildup and verify that the mounting area is clear of cables and obstructions. Use the rack’s rails or mounting brackets as recommended by Eaton for a secure, level installation. Once the PDU is physically mounted, connect the input power to a dedicated, appropriately rated supply. The L5-30P plug should be connected to a compatible 120V circuit rated to handle the load—do not exceed the PDU’s 2.88 kVA capacity, which corresponds to roughly 24 A at 120V. After securing the input connection, plug the device or equipment you want to power into the L5-30R receptacle on the PDU. Route cables neatly to minimize impedance, ensure proper strain relief, and label circuits to simplify maintenance and future upgrades. Finally, power on the rack and confirm that the connected devices initialize correctly and that there is no abnormal voltage or current draw. For ongoing safety and reliability, periodically inspect cabling, verify that the load remains within the rated capacity, and perform routine checks to confirm there are no loose connections or signs of wear.
