Geist MN01X8W1-24PBB8-6PS15B0A10-S 24-Outlets PDU

Designed for demanding IT environments, the Geist MN01X8W1-24PBB8-6PS15B0A10-S 24-Outlets PDU delivers reliable, scalable power distribution exactly where you need it—in the rack. This high-performance PDU is purpose-built for data centers, server rooms, and edge deployments, providing a robust foundation for uptime-critical workloads. Its standout feature is Geist’s upgradeable hot-swap technology, which lets you transform a basic PDU into metered or monitored configurations simply by adding the appropriate Interchangeable Monitoring Device (IMD) module. All without causing any downtime or disruption to your connected equipment, enabling you to grow and adapt your power management as your infrastructure evolves.

• Versatile 24-outlet distribution in a standard rack footprint: The MN01X8W1-24PBB8-6PS15B0A10-S is engineered to deliver convenient, scalable power for multiple servers, storage devices, switches, and networking gear in a compact, space-efficient form factor suitable for 19-inch racks. This arrangement supports high-density rack environments while keeping cabling organized and accessible for maintenance.
• Upgradeable hot-swap architecture with IMD modules: This Geist PDU is built to grow with your data center. By adding the appropriate Interchangeable Monitoring Device (IMD) module, you can upgrade from a basic PDU to metered or monitored configurations. The hot-swap design means you can implement these enhancements quickly and without interrupting power to the connected equipment, preserving uptime during the upgrade process.
• Metered and monitored capabilities for precise energy management: When equipped with an IMD, the PDU provides outlet-level or group-level energy data, voltage, current, and power factor measurements, along with real-time alerts. This visibility supports efficient capacity planning, chargeback implementations, and proactive fault detection, helping you optimize energy use and reduce operating costs.
• Robust safety, protection, and reliability features: The MN01X8W1-24PBB8-6PS15B0A10-S is designed to protect critical IT assets with built-in surge suppression, overload protection, and fault current protection. Its durable construction and dependable performance help minimize downtime and safeguard equipment from power disturbances that can occur in busy data centers.
• Easy installation, management, and scalability: The PDU is engineered for straightforward rack mounting, clean cable management, and seamless integration with Geist monitoring ecosystems. Its modular approach makes it simple to scale monitoring capabilities as your infrastructure grows, without replacing the entire PDU.

how to install Geist MN01X8W1-24PBB8-6PS15B0A10-S

• Plan the layout: Assess your rack space and determine the optimal placement for the PDU to optimize power distribution and cabling routes. Ensure there is adequate clearance for cooling around the rack.
• Mount securely in a standard 19-inch rack: Use the included mounting hardware to attach the PDU firmly to the rack rails. Verify that it is level and stable to prevent strain on cables and connectors.
• Connect to mains power: Attach the PDU to a properly rated power source according to the system requirements. Avoid overloading circuits by distributing loads across multiple legs if applicable.
• Install the Interchangeable Monitoring Device (IMD) when needed: If you require metered or monitored functionality, insert the IMD module into the PDU following the product’s installation guide. This step enables real-time data collection and monitoring capabilities without interrupting power.
• Configure monitoring and alerts: If you have the IMD installed, configure the monitoring software or DCIM integration to receive outlet-level energy data, voltage, current, and alerts. Set thresholds for overcurrent, high energy use, or abnormal voltage, and ensure notifications are directed to the appropriate personnel.
• Test and verify: With the system powered, verify that all outlets are delivering power correctly and that monitoring data is accurately reported (when IMD is installed). Label cables and outlets for easy identification during maintenance.
• Documentation and ongoing maintenance: Record the PDU’s location, circuit assignments, and monitoring configuration. Schedule periodic checks to ensure continued reliability and plan for future expansions as your rack needs grow.
