Geist MN01X9W1-30L138-6PS15B0A10-S 30-Outlets PDU

Geist MN01X9W1-30L138-6PS15B0A10-S is a high-density, rack‑mount power distribution unit engineered to deliver reliable, scalable power to critical IT equipment. Designed for data centers, server rooms, labs, and enterprise networks, this 30‑outlet PDU helps you organize and protect power delivery to servers, switches, storage, and network appliances housed in standard 19-inch racks. Built for uptime and flexibility, it leverages Geist’s Upgradeable hot-swap technology, which lets you evolve basic PDUs into metered or monitored configurations simply by adding the appropriate Interchangeable Monitoring Device (IMD) module—without interrupting service or removing the PDU from the rack. This upgrade path makes it easier to capture real‑time energy data, track usage patterns, and implement chargeback or sustainability programs as your data center grows. The result is a smarter, safer, and more efficient power backbone that scales with your infrastructure, minimizes downtime risk, and supports proactive capacity planning.

• Upgradeable hot-swap technology: The MN01X9W1-30L138-6PS15B0A10-S is designed to transform from a basic PDU into a metered or monitored model via Interchangeable Monitoring Device (IMD) modules. Add the IMD you need and monitor voltage, current, energy consumption, and outlet-level data without powering down equipment or pulling the PDU from the rack. This upgradeability provides a future-proof path to enhanced visibility, aggressive capacity planning, and better governance of data center power usage while preserving ongoing operations.
• Robust 30-outlet power distribution: With thirty outlets, this PDU accommodates dense server and network deployments in a single, organized unit. The layout is optimized for clean cable management and easy access to outlets, helping technicians connect and service gear quickly. The PDU supports flexible provisioning across a variety of devices—from blade servers to network appliances—while maintaining reliable protection and clean power delivery in even demanding rack environments.
• IMD compatibility for metered and monitored configurations: When paired with the appropriate IMD, the MN01X9W1-30L138-6PS15B0A10-S becomes a metered or monitored PDU, offering outlet-level monitoring, centralized energy reporting, and alerting. This capability is ideal for facilities pursuing energy efficiency programs, equipment-level cost allocation, or capacity planning. IMD modules enable detailed trend analysis, threshold-based alarms, and integration with DCIM tools to support smarter energy decisions across your fleet.
• Durable, rack-ready design: Engineered for reliability in busy data centers, the PDU features rugged construction, secure mounting hardware, and a form factor that fits standard 19-inch racks. Its solid connectors and well‑organized outlet arrangement reduce strain on cabling and minimize accidental disconnections during maintenance. The compact footprint enables flexible deployment in single- or multi-PDU configurations, giving you the versatility to scale power distribution as your rack density grows.
• Energy management and operational visibility: Beyond basic power delivery, this PDU’s upgrade path supports enhanced energy management, including real-time usage data, alerting, and reporting for capacity planning and sustainability initiatives. By turning simple power distribution into a data-informed system, organizations can implement chargeback models, optimize cooling and load distribution, and demonstrate responsible energy stewardship without sacrificing reliability or performance.

How to install Geist MN01X9W1-30L138-6PS15B0A10-S 30-Outlets PDU

• Prepare the rack: Ensure the rack is clean, stable, and has the appropriate 19-inch mounting space for a 30-outlet PDU. Verify clearance for cable routing and outlet access.
• Mount the PDU: Use the included mounting hardware to secure the PDU to the rack horizontal rails. Align the unit so outlets are easily reachable and power cords can be routed without crossing hot surfaces or obstructing airflow.
• Connect the power source: Attach the PDU’s power input cord to the designated power source or power strip as per your data center’s power architecture. Confirm voltage, phase, and amperage match the PDU’s specifications and your equipment requirements.
• Configure monitoring (if applicable): If you plan to use metered or monitored capabilities, install the appropriate Interchangeable Monitoring Device (IMD) module and follow the IMD setup instructions to enable data collection, alarms, and reporting. Verify communication with your monitoring system or DCIM tool as needed.
• Test and verify operation: Power on the equipment connected to the PDU in a staged manner. Confirm that all outlets are delivering power, that monitoring data (if enabled) is being reported, and that any alarms or thresholds are functioning as configured. Document the configuration for future maintenance and audits.

Frequently asked questions

• What is a PDU and why do I need one? A PDU distributes power from a single input to multiple outlets inside a rack, organizing, protecting, and managing power for IT equipment. It helps improve uptime, reduces cable clutter, and enables better visibility into energy usage and load distribution.
• What does the 30-outlet specification mean? The unit provides thirty individual outlets, allowing you to power multiple devices from a single rack-mountable chassis. This supports higher rack density and simplifies cable management in busy data centers or lab environments.
• What is an IMD and how does upgradeability work? An Interchangeable Monitoring Device (IMD) is a modular module that can be swapped in to convert a basic PDU into a metered or monitored model. The upgrade is designed to occur without powering down equipment or removing the PDU from the rack, enabling a seamless transition to enhanced visibility and control.
• Can I retrofit the MN01X9W1-30L138-6PS15B0A10-S with monitoring after installation? Yes. If you start with a basic PDU, you can add the appropriate IMD module later to enable metering and monitoring features, enabling energy reporting and alerting without major downtime.
• Is this PDU suitable for data center use? Yes. It is designed for rack environments in data centers, server rooms, and labs, offering scalable power distribution, robust construction, and an upgrade path that supports enhanced energy management as your infrastructure evolves.
