how to install Eaton Tripp Lite Series 2kW 120V Single-Phase Basic PDU with ISOBAR Surge Protection

• Plan the installation by selecting a suitable 19-inch rack with enough clearance for airflow and cable management, and verify that the circuit you plan to use can safely support up to 2 kW (approximately 16.7 A at 120 V).
• Power down equipment in the rack and ensure the rack is stable and secure before mounting the PDU.
• Mount the PDU in a 1U space using the included mounting ears or hardware. Align with the rack rails and tighten screws to secure the unit firmly in place.
• Connect the PDU to a compliant power source using the 15-foot cord and the L5-20P input. If your installation requires a 5-20P outlet, use an appropriate adapter to connect to the L5-20P input while maintaining rated load limits.
• Distribute devices across the 14 outlets, ensuring the total load does not exceed the circuit rating. Group mission-critical devices on separate outlets where possible to balance the load and reduce the risk of simultaneous outages.
• Inspect all connections for tightness, organize cables to prevent obstruction of airflow, and label each outlet circuit for easy maintenance in the future. Power on gradually and verify that devices receive power and respond normally.
