How to install Eaton Tripp Lite Series 7.7kW Single-Phase Switched Automatic Transfer Switch PDU

Installing this PDU involves careful attention to electrical safety, rack readiness, and proper wiring to ensure reliable performance. The following general steps are designed for qualified technicians who are familiar with electrical installations and local codes. Always refer to the official user manual for detailed instructions, clear wiring diagrams, and safety considerations before proceeding.

• Prepare the rack space: Verify that the installation location has adequate ventilation, a clean environment, and a compatible 19" rack with at least 2U of available height. Confirm room temperatures and clearance for service access.
• Mount the PDU: Slide the unit into the 2U rack space and secure it to the rack rails using the appropriate mounting hardware. Ensure the unit is level and firmly fastened to prevent vibration or movement during operation.
• Connect input sources: Attach the two IEC309 blue input cords to separate power sources that supply 200-240V with 32A each. Ensure each input circuit is rated to handle the full load and that protective breakers upstream are appropriately sized.
• Allocate outlets to devices: Plan outlet distribution for the 16 C13 outlets and 2 C19 outlets based on device power requirements, cable management, and airflow considerations. Use proper cable ties and route cables to avoid obstructing airflow or access to other equipment.
• Enable and configure transfer switching: Activate the automatic transfer switch functionality according to the product manual. Configure any load-shedding rules, monitoring thresholds, and notification settings. Perform a controlled switch test under light and full-load conditions to verify proper operation and alarm signaling.
• Verify safety and commissioning: Confirm that all connections are secure, electrical panels are closed, and there are no signs of overheating. Validate remote monitoring or management features if the unit provides them, and document the installation for future maintenance.

Frequently asked questions

• What is the primary function of this PDU?

  The PDU provides dual-source automatic transfer switching and distributes power to connected devices through a mix of C13 and C19 outlets, enabling reliable uptime and centralized power management for critical IT equipment.

• How many outlets does the PDU provide and what types are they?

  It delivers 16 C13 outlets and 2 C19 outlets, offering flexible power capacity for servers, storage, networking gear, and related devices in a rack environment.

• What do the two inputs mean for redundancy?

  Two IEC309 32A inputs allow you to connect separate power sources (such as utility feeds or generator circuits) so the PDU can automatically transfer loads if one source becomes unavailable, enhancing uptime.

• Is this PDU compatible with remote monitoring or management systems?

  The unit is designed for managed power distribution, with capabilities that typically support outlet-level control and status monitoring. Check the specific management options included with your model or firmware version for compatibility with your monitoring stack.

• Is the PDU suitable for government or enterprise procurement?

  Yes. The PDU is TAA-compliant, which meets procurement requirements for many government and enterprise programs, and it is built to support demanding data center environments.
