How to Install Eaton G4 24-Outlets PDU

• Prepare the rack: Confirm the 19-inch rack is clean, level, and has adequate space for the PDU and cable management—then verify mounting rails or brackets are available for installation.
• Mount the PDU: Secure the Eaton G4 PDU into the rack using the provided mounting hardware, ensuring a stable and level installation to support weight and ease of access to outlets and ports.
• Connect power feeds: Attach the PDU’s main power input to the data center’s distribution or power feed according to facility standards and electrical codes. Ensure proper electrical protection and labeling for safe operation.
• Link to management: If the PDU includes a network management interface, connect the management port to your IT network or management subnet. Configure IP addressing (static or DHCP as supported) and ensure connectivity for remote monitoring.
• Configure monitoring and alerts: Access the PDU’s management interface to enable outlet-level monitoring, set alert thresholds for current, voltage, and temperature if available, and map each outlet to connected devices for precise usage reporting and chargeback where applicable.
• Test and document: Power up the rack, verify all outlets energize correctly, confirm remote management connectivity, and document the configuration, outlet mappings, and any alert policies for operations teams.
