How to Install Minuteman RPM2024N1LCD-IEC 24-Outlets PDU

• Plan and prepare: Identify the appropriate rack location, ensure adequate clearance for airflow, and confirm the ambient conditions meet the PDU’s specifications.
• Mount the PDU: Secure the RPM2024N1LCD-IEC into a compatible rack using the provided mounting hardware, ensuring stable and level installation.
• Connect power: Attach the PDU to your facility’s power supply via the IEC input, ensuring the circuit can handle the total load and that all safety standards are met.
• Configure network access: Connect the PDU’s management interface to your network. Access the web UI to set up IP addressing (static or DHCP), administrator credentials, and basic security settings.
• Enable remote management features: Turn on SNMP, enable secure access, and configure user roles. Create alerting policies for critical events such as overloads or connectivity issues.
• Map outlets and define policies: Assign outlets to groups or devices, configure power-cycling schedules, and set up energy monitoring thresholds. Establish maintenance windows and automated reboot sequences where needed.
• Test and validate: Perform a controlled power cycle on select outlets to verify remote control works as expected. Confirm alerts are received by the monitoring system and that logs capture the event details.
• Document and train: Record the configuration, IP addresses, user roles, and recovery procedures. Ensure the IT staff understands how to leverage the LCD for quick checks and how to adjust settings via the web UI.
