Description
The HPE 48-Outlet PDU G2 Metered Switched is a high-density, three-phase power distribution solution purpose-built for modern data centers and dense rack environments. Delivering precise outlet-level control and visibility, this rugged PDU centralizes power management across a 48-outlet enclosure, enabling IT teams to monitor energy use, switch individual outlets on or off remotely, and streamline capacity planning, charge-back reporting, and uptime initiatives. Designed to integrate with HPE infrastructure while remaining compatible with standard 19-inch racks, it provides enterprise-grade reliability, security, and intelligence at the rack level.
- Outlet-level metering with remote switching: Each outlet reports real-time energy usage and can be controlled remotely. This granular visibility helps identify power-hungry devices, quickly isolate failures, and optimize overall power utilization without impacting other equipment in the same rack.
- High-density, 3-phase power for dense racks: A 48-outlet configuration within a single rugged enclosure supports multi-node servers, storage appliances, switches, and network gear, enabling you to maximize rack space while maintaining organized, tidy cabling and efficient cooling strategies.
- Local and remote power management: Use built-in, on-site controls for immediate adjustments or access the PDU remotely through standard management interfaces. Monitor voltage, current, and outlet status from a centralized console to streamline maintenance, audits, and compliance workflows.
- Enterprise-grade reliability and security: The PDU includes robust protection features, outlet status indicators, alerting, and secure remote access to help prevent outages, support proactive maintenance, and enable precise incident response for critical workloads.
- Seamless integration and rack compatibility: Engineered to work smoothly with HPE servers and storage solutions, while remaining compatible with conventional 19-inch racks. Its space-efficient footprint and straightforward installation minimize deployment time and accelerate time-to-value in data centers, colocation facilities, and enterprise IT rooms.

How to Install HPE 48-Outlet PDU
- Prepare the rack and space: Verify that your rack is compatible with standard 19-inch equipment and that there is adequate airflow and clearance for heat dissipation. Ensure you have the appropriate electrical feed and safety clearances according to local electrical codes.
- Mount the PDU in the rack: Use the appropriate mounting hardware to secure the PDU in the rack chassis. Align the enclosure with the rack rails and fasten securely to minimize vibration or movement during operation.
- Connect input power: Connect the PDU to its primary power source using the correct three-phase supply and conductors per local codes. Confirm that the input connections match the PDU’s design specifications and that protective devices are in place.
- Wire and distribute outlets: Plan outlet usage, labeling, and device connections. Route cables neatly to the 48 outlets to reduce clutter and improve airflow. Ensure devices are properly plugged into their designated outlets and that pairings align with your power budgeting.
- Configure local controls and remote management: Use the PDU’s built-in interface to configure outlet names, permissions, alert thresholds, and power-capping rules. Connect the PDU to your management network or console to enable remote monitoring and control.
- Verify operation and health: Power up the devices in the rack and confirm that each outlet reports status and energy data. Validate that remote switching works correctly by cycling a select outlet and observing the device response from the management interface.
- Document and monitor: Record the configuration, outlet mappings, and management credentials. Establish baseline energy usage and set up alerts for abnormal consumption to maintain uptime and efficiency.
