How to Install Eaton Metered Input Rack PDU

• Prepare your rack area by ensuring there is adequate ventilation and clearance around the cabinet to promote safe operation and easy access to outlets.
• Mount the Eaton Metered Input Rack PDU into a standard 19-inch equipment rack using the appropriate mounting rails or brackets supplied by your rack vendor or integrator. Ensure the unit is securely fastened to prevent movement during maintenance or front-loading cable management.
• Connect the input power using the L6-30P plug. Plug into a dedicated 30A, 200-240V power source that complies with local electrical codes and facility requirements. Verify the circuit is capable of handling the 24A load rating and that protection devices (breakers/fuses) are correctly rated for this configuration.
• Route and connect your devices to the 16 C13 outlets. Use outlet grips to secure cables and maintain an organized front panel. Group critical devices to minimize managed load imbalances and ensure a balanced distribution across the bank of outlets.
• Power on and verify operation. Check the real-time metering readout to confirm voltage, current, and total load align with expectations. Monitor for any unusual readings or deviations and adjust equipment placement or cabling as needed to maintain safe and efficient power distribution.
