How to install Eaton Managed rack PDU

• Prepare the rack and location: Identify a suitable 19-inch rack space within range of power sources and network connectivity. Ensure sufficient clearance for cabling and cooling airflow. Confirm that the rack is earthed and meets local electrical codes.
• Mount the PDU: Slide the Eaton ePDU G3 into the selected rack bay and secure it using the provided mounting hardware. The 0U form factor allows the unit to sit flush with other equipment, preserving rack space for servers and storage devices.
• Connect the input power: Connect the C20 inlet to a compatible power source that supports 100–240V and up to 16 A. Use an appropriately rated circuit to avoid overloading. Ensure the power cord is routed neatly to reduce strain and promote traffic-free airflow around the unit.
• Configure outlets and network: If you plan to use outlet-level monitoring and remote management, connect the PDU to your network using the available management interface. Power on the PDU and verify that the local LCD display activates with the initial readouts. Use the LCD or a software interface to name outlets, set alerts, and configure monitoring thresholds.
• Calibrate and validate: Confirm meter accuracy by comparing readings against a known power source or a calibrated meter. Validate that each outlet reports current, voltage, power, and energy correctly. Set up alerting rules for overages or unusual consumption patterns to ensure rapid responses to anomalies.
• Integrate with DCIM and billing systems: If you use DCIM software or chargeback processes, connect the ePDU’s telemetry to your management platform. Map outlet-level data to devices or departments, enabling precise energy accounting and improved capacity planning across the data center.
• Operational handoff: Document outlet mappings, monitoring configurations, and alert thresholds. Train facility staff on interpreting reports and responding to alerts, ensuring consistent power management across the IT environment.
