how to install Eaton Metered Input Rack Power Distribution Unit

• Power down and unplug equipment that will be connected to the PDU; plan cable routing to maintain clean, organized wiring in the rack.
• Mount the PDU into a 19" rack using compatible mounting rails or hardware; ensure the unit sits securely and that all outlets remain accessible for front-bar access.
• Connect the 10-foot power cord to a suitable 100–240V power source using the L6-20P inlet; verify that the outlet circuit can handle up to 16A continuously without tripping for sustained peak loads.
• Distribute devices across the (18) C13 and (2) C19 outlets to balance current across outlets and prevent single-outlet overload; group critical devices on dedicated circuits where possible.
• Power on the PDU and connected equipment; monitor energy usage through the metering interface to validate load distribution and identify opportunities for optimization in real time.
