How to Install Eaton Tripp Lite Series 1.92kW 120V Single-Phase ATS/Local Metered PDU

Follow these installation steps to deploy the PDU in a standard 19-inch rack and begin utilizing its ATS and local metering features:

• Prepare the rack: Identify a suitable 19-inch rack space with adequate airflow and clearance for the 1U PDU and its connected devices. Ensure the rack is properly grounded.
• Mount the PDU: Use the provided rack mounting hardware to secure the 1U PDU to the rack rails at the desired height. Ensure it is level and firmly fastened to prevent vibration or movement.
• Connect input sources: Attach the dual power cords to the corresponding input sources (L5-20P and/or 5-20P) on separate, protected circuits. Route cables to minimize tension and interference with airflow.
• Install equipment: Connect servers, switches, and other IT devices to the 16 outlets (5-15R/5-20R). Distribute critical devices to ensure balanced load across the PDU outlets.
• Power-up and verify: Turn on the PDU and verify the front-panel local metering display shows voltage, current, and power usage. Confirm the ATS is ready to operate and will switch sources if one input fails.
• Configure and monitor: If the PDU supports user-configurable features, follow the on-panel instructions to set alarms or thresholds. Use the front-panel readout to monitor load and optimize capacity planning over time.
• Maintenance and safety: Periodically inspect cabling for wear, dust, or obstruction. Keep airflow unrestricted around the PDU and ensure cords are cleanly managed to avoid tripping hazards or accidental disconnects.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What is an ATS/Local Metered PDU? A: An ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch) ensures uninterrupted power by automatically switching between two input sources, while local metering provides on-site measurement of voltage, current, and power usage for real-time visibility.
