how to install Eaton Tripp Lite Series 1.9-3.8kW Single-Phase 120-240V Basic PDU

• Prepare the rack and power source: Verify there is an available 1U slot in the rack and confirm that your facility electrical supply can support up to the PDU’s maximum load. Power down equipment in the rack before installation to ensure safety.
• Mount the PDU in the rack: Align the 1U PDU with the rack rails and secure it using the appropriate screws or fasteners recommended by your rack manufacturer. Ensure the unit sits firmly and exits are accessible for front-end cable connection and organization.
• Connect the input power: Plug the 10 ft C20 inlet cord into a suitable 120-240V power source capable of handling the anticipated load. Route the cord neatly to minimize interference with airflow and adjacent equipment, keeping it clear of fans and hot spots.
• Distribute loads across outlets: Connect IT equipment to the 14 outlets (12 x C13 and 2 x C19) with attention to balanced loads across circuits. Avoid overloading any single outlet bank and consider staggered distribution for critical devices to maximize uptime.
• Finalize labeling and verification: Label cables for easy future maintenance, re-check all connections, and power on the rack. Confirm that all outlets are delivering power and monitor for any abnormal heat or load imbalances, adjusting as needed to maintain safe operating conditions.
