How to install Eaton Tripp Lite Series 5.8kW 200-240V Single-Phase Basic PDU

• Prepare the rack area: Ensure the rack is clean, level, and capable of supporting the weight of the PDU and connected equipment. Confirm that the 200–240 VAC power source is accessible and that the circuit can handle the full 5.8 kW load.
• Mount the PDU in the rack: Align the PDU with the 19-inch mounting rails and secure it using the appropriate screws, ensuring the unit sits firmly and does not wobble. Verify that the front panel remains accessible for easy outlet access and cable management.
• Connect the input power: Plug the 15 ft. cord into the L6-30P inlet and connect the other end to the designated 200–240 VAC power source. Ensure the circuit breaker or fuse panel feeding the L6-30P is rated for the expected load and that proper grounding is in place.
• Organize and connect devices: Route device power cords to the C13 and C19 outlets, distributing loads evenly across outlets to minimize the risk of overload on any single outlet group. Use cable ties or management accessories (if available) to keep cables tidy and reduce airflow obstruction behind the rack.
• Power up and verify: Turn on the main power supply and verify that all connected devices boot normally. Confirm that no outlet or cord shows signs of overheating and that the PDU remains within its rated load. Periodically check connections and loads to maintain reliable performance in day-to-day operations.
