Expect effortless reconfiguration during deployments, upgrades, or re-layouts, with minimal downtime and minimal disruption to active gear.
• Long power cords and top-to-rack reach for streamlined installations: One of the hallmark benefits of the OE series is its extended cords, which simplify top-of-rack deployments and reduce the need for complex cabling strategies. Long power cords provide flexibility to place the PDU at the rear or base of the rack while still delivering clean, organized power to all devices. Longer cords also reduce wear on outlets and power strips, support cleaner cable runs, and lower strain on power connections during maintenance or reconfiguration.
• Premium safety features, reliability, and monitoring options: The OEPD2024IECHVI is built to endure demanding environments with a rugged enclosure, robust protection against overcurrent and short circuits, and filtration to help mitigate electrical noise. These attributes protect sensitive IT gear and maintain uptime in busy data centers. Depending on the exact model variant, OE PDUs can offer metering and remote monitoring capabilities, enabling you to track energy consumption, project cooling loads, and optimize operating costs. This combination of safety, reliability, and visibility helps IT teams manage power intelligently and respond quickly to incidents.
• Value-driven performance from a trusted PDU lineage: Minuteman’s OE-series PDUs are designed to deliver premium features at a compelling price point. The OEPD2024IECHVI embodies the balance between quality, performance, and cost, making it a practical choice for organizations looking to standardize power distribution across multiple racks without sacrificing critical protections or expandability. Backed by Minuteman’s support ecosystem and warranty, this PDU offers long-term value as part of a scalable data-center power strategy.

How to install Minuteman OEPD2024IECHVI

• Plan placement: Identify a suitable 19" rack location with adequate clearance for airflow, access to the power source, and cable management space. Confirm load requirements and ensure the receiving circuit is correctly rated for the total device load.
• Mount the PDU: Secure the OEPD2024IECHVI to the rack using the supplied hardware. Align mounting ears with rack rails and tighten screws evenly to avoid misalignment. Verify that the PDU is level and firmly attached to prevent wobble or gear damage during maintenance.
• Connect input power: Plug the PDU’s power cord into a properly rated power source or distribution circuit. Ensure the circuit has adequate capacity for all connected devices, and verify that breakers or fuses support the anticipated load. If your setup uses smart or monitored features, connect any required management interfaces as specified by the product documentation.
• Route and label channels: Connect IT devices to the PDU outlets, grouping devices by function or workload to simplify management. Use cable ties or Velcro straps to create clean, organized bundles, avoiding occluded airflow near fans or vents. Label outlets clearly to make future changes quick and error-free.
• Power on and verify: Turn on the PDU and confirm operation through visible indicators or managed monitoring tools. Check for stable power delivery to all connected devices, verify no outlet is overloaded, and run a short system test to confirm that devices boot and operate normally under load. Document configurations for future audits and maintenance.
