how to install Eaton Tripp Lite Series 2.4kW Basic PDU

Installing this basic PDU is a straightforward process designed to minimize downtime and maximize reliability in your rack environment. Follow these simple steps to get started:

• Choose an appropriate 19" rack space for the 0U vertical PDU. Confirm that the chosen location provides sufficient airflow and clearance for cabling and maintenance access.
• Mount the PDU in the rack if required by your cabinet design. The 0U vertical form factor is designed to slide into a rack without occupying rack units, making it ideal for dense equipment layouts.
• Connect the PDU’s 15 ft NEMA L5-20P input plug to a suitable 120V, 20A power source. Ensure the circuit is capable of handling the expected load and that local electrical codes are followed.
• Routinely organize power cables and device cords to prevent tangling and to promote proper airflow. Use cable ties or management channels to keep outlets accessible and avoid accidental disconnections.
• Power on connected devices and verify that each outlet is supplying power. If you are using devices with higher current requirements, ensure the total connected load remains within the 2.4 kW rating to prevent overloading the PDU.
