how to install Eaton Managed Rack PDU

• Prepare the rack: Ensure your equipment rack has 2U of available space and compatible mounting hardware. Clear the area for cable routing and ventilation to maintain airflow.
• Mount the PDU: Slide the unit into the rack rails and secure it with the included mounting screws or brackets. Verify level alignment and stability before proceeding.
• Connect power input: Route the 10 ft power cord to the electrical supply and connect the L6-30P plug to a 200-240V, 30A circuit. Ensure the circuit breaker is sized appropriately for continuous load.
• Arrange outlets and devices: Connect servers, storage, switches, and other critical equipment to the 12 C13 and 4 C19 outlets. Maintain organized cable management to maximize airflow and reduce heat buildup.
• Configure management settings: Connect a management network cable to the PDU’s Ethernet port and access the web interface or management software. Configure IP addressing (static or DHCP), set alert thresholds, and enable per-outlet monitoring and energy reporting.
• Set security and policies: Define user roles, access controls, and alert notification preferences. Establish power-derating rules or load-shedding policies if supported by your IT environment to protect critical devices during power events.
• Test and validate: Power up connected devices, verify successful outlet control, and confirm that monitoring metrics (voltage, current, power) are reporting accurately in the management interface. Run a simulated alert to ensure notifications work as expected.
