How to install Eaton Tripp Lite Series 1.9-3.8kW Single-Phase Basic PDU

Follow these steps to install and deploy this PDU in a rack environment quickly and safely:

• Prepare the rack: Verify that your rack is a standard 19-inch enclosure with at least 1U of vertical space and adequate clearance for cable management and cooling. Ensure you have a suitable power source capable of delivering up to 16A.
• Mount the PDU: Use the included mounting hardware to secure the PDU in the desired 1U slot. Align the chassis with the rack rails, tighten fasteners securely, and confirm the PDU sits firmly without any wobble.
• Connect the input: Attach the IEC-320 C20 inlet to a compatible power source or UPS output rated for 16A. Route the power cord neatly to avoid interference with airflow or other equipment.
• Distribute loads: Connect devices to the 14 outlets (12 C13, 2 C19) according to your power plan. Distribute high-draw equipment across multiple outlets when possible to prevent overloading a single circuit.
• Test operation: Power on connected equipment, verify that outlets are delivering voltage within the expected 120-240V range, and confirm that the PDU’s protection features remain operational. Document the setup for maintenance and future capacity planning.
