Liebert MPH2 Metered Outlet Switched Rack Mount PDU

The Liebert MPH2 Metered Outlet Switched Rack Mount PDU is engineered to deliver precise power distribution, granular visibility, and reliable control for today’s demanding data centers and server rooms. Built for 19" racks and optimized for energy efficiency, MPH2 combines accurate metering with outlet-level switching, giving IT and facilities teams the ability to monitor, manage, and protect critical workloads with ease. Whether you are expanding a modest server room or upgrading a data-center-scale deployment, MPH2 helps you curb energy waste, improve uptime, and simplify power management across your floor, cabinet, or row installations.

  • Precise energy metering for informed capacity planning – Real-time energy usage data and voltage/current measurements empower you to track consumption, identify anomalies, and optimize load distribution. With metering at the outlet and system level, you gain actionable insights to reduce waste and align power draw with business needs.
  • Outlet-level switching for granular control – Each outlet or grouped outlets can be controlled independently, enabling controlled reboots, selective power cycling, and targeted maintenance without affecting the entire cabinet. This capability minimizes downtime and accelerates recovery from faults.
  • Robust remote management and monitoring – Access essential power data and control remotely via standard management interfaces. Push alerts, monitor energy trends, and manage configurations from your preferred IT operations toolchain, improving efficiency and response times.
  • Easy deployment in standard 19" racks – Designed for seamless installation in typical data-center cabinets, the MPH2 PDU fits neatly into 1U height footprints or standard 19" rack rails, enabling density in mixed environments and simplifying cable management with clearly organized outlets.
  • Durable build with safety and compliance – Built to endure the rigors of data-center environments, the MPH2 PDU adheres to essential safety standards and certifications, delivering reliable power distribution with long-term peace of mind for mission-critical equipment.

Technical Details of Liebert MPH2 Metered Outlet Switched Rack Mount PDU

  • Management interface – Remote access via industry-standard interfaces, with support for web-based administration, centralized monitoring, and alerting. Designed to integrate with existing data-center management workflows for streamlined operations.
  • Physical specifications – 19" rack-mountable chassis designed for 1U or compatible installations, with secure mounting hardware and cable routing features to keep racks tidy and accessible for serviceability.
  • Safety and compliance – Built to meet relevant safety and electrical standards to ensure safe operation in business-critical environments and ease of certification in data-center facilities.
  • Operational considerations – Suitable for use in a range of ambient conditions typical of equipment rooms; designed to maintain performance under continuous load while providing clear diagnostic indicators for quick troubleshooting.

How to install Liebert MPH2 Metered Outlet Switched Rack Mount PDU

  • Prepare the rack space and confirm the MPH2 model is appropriate for your cabinet height, depth, and outlet count requirements. Ensure the power input matches the facility’s electrical supply and that the cabinet has adequate ventilation for heat dissipation.
  • Mount the MPH2 securely in the 19" rack using the provided mounting hardware. Align cable access points for clean routing and minimum obstruction to airflow. Use appropriate cable ties or management arms to keep power and data lines organized.
  • Connect the PDU’s input power cord to the corresponding power source. Verify that the circuit rating aligns with the PDU’s specifications and that a properly rated breaker is in place to protect connected equipment.
  • Attach devices to the PDU outlets according to your load plan. If outlets support grouping, configure groups for reboot sequences or maintenance windows to simplify management during updates or servicing.
  • Power on the unit and access the management interface to configure metering intervals, alert thresholds, outlet groups, and access controls. Review the real-time measurements, set up email or SNMP alerts, and confirm that all outlets respond correctly to switch commands.
  • Test the system by powering on equipment in a staged sequence, monitoring the metered values to verify expected energy consumption and ensuring that switched outlets behave as configured during reboots or power-cycling procedures.
  • Document the configuration for future maintenance and integrate the MPH2 with your asset management and monitoring tools to sustain optimal uptime and energy efficiency over time.
