How to Install Eaton Tripp Lite Series 2kW Single-Phase Local Metered PDU

• Plan the installation in a suitable 19-inch rack location with enough space for cables, ventilation, and servicing access to the PDU and meter display.
• Power down equipment in the rack and verify that the available power supply meets the adapter requirements (L5-20P or 5-20P) included with the PDU.
• Mount the PDU in the rack frame, aligning with the 19-inch rack rails. Secure the unit using the appropriate mounting hardware until firmly seated to prevent movement or vibrations.
• Connect the included L5-20P/5-20P adapter to the PDU input, then plug the adapter into the chosen power source. Ensure cable routing minimizes strain and preserves airflow around the unit.
• Attach your devices to the six 100–127V outlets (6 x 5-15R/5-20R). Distribute load evenly across outlets to maintain balanced power draw and maximize efficiency.
• Power on the PDU and verify the local meter is functioning. Use the metering readout to monitor current load, peak demand, and voltage levels, adjusting device placement as needed to optimize performance and cooling.
• Label cables and maintain a clean cable management plan to simplify future maintenance and to ensure airflow remains unobstructed for all rack equipment.
