How to Install Eaton Tripp Lite Series 5.5kW Single-Phase Local Metered PDU

Prepare your rack and space by ensuring adequate clearance for airflow and cable management. Verify that your cabinet is rated for 19" equipment and can accommodate a 2U device with the expected load.

Mount the PDU into the rack using the included mounting hardware. Align the unit with the rack rails and secure it firmly to prevent movement during maintenance or equipment changes. Confirm that outlets are accessible for cable routing and that the front panel display remains visible for at-a-glance monitoring.

Connect the PDU to the building power using the included 1.8 m input cord. Plug the cord into a suitable 208/230V L6-30P power source, ensuring the circuit is rated to handle the anticipated load. If you manage zoning or redundancy, coordinate with your electrical team to keep per-cabinet loads within safe limits.

Distribute your IT equipment across the C13 and C19 outlets as needed, staggering loads to avoid overloading any single outlet group. For organization and airflow, group devices by power requirement and consider using cable ties or velcro straps to create clean, separated paths for power cords.

Power on the PDU and verify the local meter readout. Confirm that all connected devices receive power and that the energy readings reflect expected usage. Monitor the data over the initial days to validate load balancing, identify potential hotspots, and adjust device placement or power allocation as necessary.
