How to install Panduit SmartZone G5 Intelligent 24-Outlets PDU

• Choose a suitable location in a standard 19-inch rack with adequate clearance for heat dissipation and cable management, ensuring front-accessible outlets for easy maintenance.
• Mount the PDU securely in the rack using the supplied hardware, positioning it to maximize airflow around the unit and minimize cable clutter behind the rack.
• Connect the PDU input to an appropriate 208 V AC power source, using the correct circuit protection and adhering to local electrical codes. Verify the circuit rating matches the PDU’s power draw specifications.
• Attach a Network (RJ-45) cable from the PDU’s management port to your network or management console, ensuring a stable connection for remote monitoring and control.
• Power on the PDU and perform the initial configuration via the management interface or SmartZone software. Assign a fixed IP address or configure DHCP, set administrator credentials, and define user roles and access permissions.
• Configure monitoring and alerts: establish desired thresholds for current, voltage, and power draw, enable alerting, and map outlets to devices or asset tags for accurate reporting.
• Connect IT devices to the 12 C13 and 12 C19 outlets, ensuring total load remains within the PDU’s rated capacity. Organize cables with clear labeling to simplify future maintenance and capacity planning.
• Test remote power control by cycling outlets and verifying that the PDU reports status changes back to the central management console. Validate alarming rules and automated power-restoration sequences if applicable.
• Document the rack layout, outlet labeling, and asset associations to support ongoing asset management, capacity planning, and data-center operations.
