how to install Eaton Managed Rack PDU

Installing the Eaton ePDU G3 is a straightforward process designed for quick, reliable deployment in standard data center racks. Follow these steps to ensure a proper setup that optimizes visibility and control over your power distribution:

• Prepare the rack space by confirming a clear 19" mounting area for the 0U PDU and ensuring access to a suitable 120V power source. Verify that the rack is grounded and that a proper circuit can support the 16A load rating.
• Mount the PDU in the desired rack position using the provided hardware. The 0U footprint allows you to place the unit at the rear or side of the rack as needed to maintain clean cable management and airflow.
• Connect the 10-foot L5-20P input cord to a compatible 120V power source or distribution path. Ensure the connection is secure and that you follow all local electrical codes for power distribution in your facility.
• Route power cables from each device to the appropriate 5-20R outlets. Label outlets to support effective chargeback, asset tracking, and DCIM integration.
• Power up the PDU and perform initial configuration: use the local LCD display to verify outlet metering is active, set up alert thresholds (e.g., current, voltage, and power usage), and configure network access if remote monitoring is desired. Test the outlets by powering connected equipment to confirm proper distribution and metering accuracy.
