how to install Eaton Tripp Lite Series 2kW Single-Phase Local Metered PDU

Follow these steps to install the PDU securely in a standard 19-inch rack and begin monitoring power usage.

• Plan the installation location within the rack and verify there is adequate clearance for outlets and the local meter display. Ensure the ambient environment meets the device’s temperature and ventilation requirements.
• Power down connected equipment and confirm that the rack’s power source matches the PDU’s 100–127 V input requirements. Have the included L5-20P/5-20P adapter ready for connection.
• Position the PDU in the desired rack location. Since this is a 0U vertical unit, align it between rack rails and secure it using the appropriate mounting hardware designed for 19-inch racks.
• Connect the PDU to the power feed using the included adapter. Verify a solid connection and ensure no loose cables are obstructing airflow or outlet access.
• Route IT devices’ power cords to the PDU outlets, grouping cables to reduce clutter and maintain airflow. Ensure that the load on any single outlet does not exceed the rated capacity.
• Power on the equipment and verify the PDU’s local metering readings on the display (or through the monitoring interface if available). Confirm that energy usage and load data reflect expected values during initial startup.
• Document the outlet layout and load distribution for future capacity planning. Consider integrating with your data center infrastructure management (DCIM) system if supported by the PDU or your monitoring stack.
• Periodically check the PDU’s metering data to monitor consumption trends, identify peaks, and plan for efficiency improvements or hardware upgrades as your IT environment evolves.
