How to install Eaton Metered Input PDU

Installing the Eaton Metered Input PDU is straightforward for data centers, server rooms, and labs aiming to maximize uptime and power insight. Follow these steps to ensure a safe, compliant, and efficient setup:

• Plan and prepare: Identify the target rack location, ensuring adequate airflow around the PDU and unobstructed access to outlets and the local display (if installed). Confirm the electrical system can supply 200–240V three-phase power with a maximum current of 48A.
• Mount the PDU: Slide the 0U PDU into the selected rack and secure it using the provided mounting hardware. Verify that the unit sits flush with the rack rails and that there is no interference with server rails or cooling airflow.
• Connect the power input: Connect the 6 ft input cord to a certified three-phase power source that matches the 200–240V specification and can sustain up to 48A. Ensure all connections are tight and that the power source is protected by appropriate circuit breakers.
• Route IT equipment: Attach servers, storage, and network devices to the 38 IEC C13 outlets. Distribute loads evenly across outlets to promote phase balance and reduce the risk of overloading any single leg.
• Configure monitoring: Enable and configure remote monitoring in your network management system if you plan to collect per-section current data. If using a local display, calibrate and verify the phase-balance readings, then perform a basic load balance check with representative equipment powered on.
• Test and validate: Power on all connected devices and confirm that the PDU reports expected current draw per section. Validate that alerts, dashboards, and any integrated software reflect accurate measurements and that the PDU communicates correctly with your monitoring platform.
