How to install Minuteman 24-Outlet Vertical, 15/20 Amp PDU

Installing a Minuteman PDU is a straightforward process designed to minimize downtime and maximize reliability in your data center or IT closet. Follow these general guidelines to achieve a secure, tidy, and efficient setup:

  • Plan your layout: Identify the rack location, ensure adequate clearance for airflow, and determine the ideal outlets-to-device mapping. Consider grouping similar devices to simplify management and maintenance later.
  • Prepare the rack: If mounting to a rack, locate the mounting points on the PDU and prepare compatible rails or brackets. Confirm that the rack is stable and capable of supporting the PDU’s weight and load.
  • Mount the PDU: Attach the vertical PDU securely to the rack using the provided mounting hardware. Ensure the unit is level and firmly fastened to withstand routine handling during installations or replacements.
  • Connect to power: Choose a suitable power source that matches the PDU’s rating (15/20 Amp) and connect the supply cord to a properly fused circuit. Do not exceed the circuit’s rating and ensure power is switched off during the connection for safety.
  • Route cables and power devices: Neatly route power cords to each device, avoiding tight bends and overcrowding. Use cable ties or management features to keep cords organized, improving airflow and simplifying future maintenance.
  • Test and verify: Power on the PDU and verify that all outlets are providing voltage. Check for any tripped breakers, abnormal odors, or unusual heat. Label outlets for easy identification and document the outlet-to-device mapping for future reference.
