How to install HPE 12-Outlet PDU

Installing the HPE 12-Outlet PDU is designed to be quick and straightforward, helping you bring power to your rack without unnecessary downtime. Follow these general steps to ensure a proper and safe installation that supports reliable operation:

  1. Plan your layout: Identify the rack location where the PDU will be most accessible to the devices that require power. Consider device spacing, airflow, and cable paths to minimize interference with cooling and to promote clean cabling. Decide whether you will mount the PDU in 0U or 1U space based on your rack’s configuration and the outlets you need closest to your devices.

  2. Power down equipment (as needed): Before any mounting or wiring, power down the devices that will be connected to the PDU or ensure that maintenance procedures allow hot-swapping in your environment. This helps prevent electrical issues and protects both personnel and equipment during installation.

  3. Mount the PDU: Attach the PDU to the rack rails in the chosen 0U or 1U position using compatible hardware. Ensure the unit is securely fastened and level to prevent movement that could stress connections or cables. Verify that the mounting orientation aligns with how you plan to route power cords to your devices.

  4. Connect the PDU to power: Plug the PDU into a properly rated power source that matches the unit’s electrical specifications. Confirm that the supply circuit is capable of handling the cumulative load of all connected devices to avoid circuit overloading. Use appropriate surge protection and consider any facility grounding requirements.

  5. Route and label cables: Neatly route device cords to the 12 outlets, keeping bulky cables away from air intake paths and fans. Use cable ties or organizers to create clean, accessible layouts. Label each outlet or group of outlets if you have a defined device assignment to simplify future maintenance and replacements.

  6. Test and verify: Power on connected equipment in a controlled sequence. Check that each outlet delivers power to its intended device and that there are no tripped breakers, unusual heat, or warning indicators. If your installation includes any basic power indicators on the PDU, confirm their status and functionality.
