Geist rPDU AUU5M1R5-06L137-1C14C14A900-D 6-Outlets PDU
The Geist rPDU AUU5M1R5-06L137-1C14C14A900-D is a purpose-built Rack Transfer Switch (RTS) designed to deliver redundant power to single-corded devices in critical IT environments. This intelligent RTS automatically detects power loss and swiftly transfers the load to an alternate power source in less than 4–8 milliseconds, with no need for human intervention or complex phase synchronization. Built for reliability in data centers, server rooms, labs, and AV installations, this 6-outlet PDU helps ensure your essential equipment stays online when it matters most, reducing downtime and protecting your investments.
Engineered for high-availability, the Geist RTS prioritizes seamless operation during power disturbances. By removing the need for phase synchronization, it simplifies deployment across diverse power sources and minimizes setup complexity. The result is a plug-and-play solution that maximizes uptime while maintaining a compact footprint within standard 19-inch racks. Whether you’re supporting servers, network gear, storage arrays, or other critical peripherals, this PDU provides a dependable path to continuous operation.
- Fast automatic transfer: Switchovers occur in under 4–8 milliseconds, preserving continuous operation during power interruptions and reducing the risk of data loss or process disruption.
- No phase synchronization required: The RTS transfers between independent power sources without matching electrical phases, delivering rapid protection in mixed-power environments.
- Six-outlet PDU: Six outlets for powering essential single-corded devices from a single, streamlined power input, helping to simplify rack layouts and cable management.
- Compact, rack-friendly design: Built for standard 19-inch racks with a space-conscious footprint, making it suitable for data centers, labs, and AV rooms where space is at a premium.
- Reliable redundancy: Provides automatic power switching to reduce downtime and protect sensitive equipment from unexpected outages or power dips.

how to install Geist rPDU AUU5M1R5-06L137-1C14C14A900-D 6-Outlets PDU
Installing this RTS-enabled PDU is straightforward and designed to integrate with existing rack infrastructure. Follow these steps to prepare and deploy the Geist rPDU in a typical data-center or lab environment:
1) Plan your power topology. Identify your primary and backup power sources, ensuring both meet your equipment’s voltage and amperage requirements. Confirm that the accessory cords and power strips in use are compatible with the RTS and your devices’ power draw.
2) Mount the PDU in the rack. Use appropriate rack screws or mounting hardware to securely fasten the unit to the available rails. Align the outlets for convenient access to your devices while keeping cabling tidy.
3) Connect the power feeds. Attach the primary power source to the RTS input and connect the backup or secondary source to the alternate input. Ensure all connections are firm and safeguarded from accidental disconnection.
4) Load your devices. Plug your critical, single-corded equipment into the six outlets. Arrange cables to minimize interference and maximize airflow within the rack.
5) Power up and verify. Switch on both power sources and confirm the RTS is ready to monitor for disturbances. Simulate a power loss to validate the automatic switchover occurs within the expected 4–8 ms window. Monitor status indicators if available and confirm uninterrupted operation on the secondary source.
6) Document and monitor. Maintain a simple record of the installation, including outlet allocations and power-source mappings. Regularly test the switchover function to ensure ongoing reliability in real-world conditions.
