how to install Panduit SmartZone MI 24-Outlets PDU

To install the Panduit SmartZone MI 24-Outlets PDU, begin by preparing the rack space—ensuring there is a clear path for cabling and adequate airflow. Mount the PDU in the 0U vertical orientation using standard 19-inch rack rails and hardware, securing it firmly to prevent movement during equipment operation. Connect the primary power input with an appropriate feed cable to a suitable power source, verifying voltage compatibility and ensuring the circuit can handle the anticipated load. Route all IT devices to their respective outlets (12 C13 and 12 C19), organizing cables to avoid obstruction of airflow and to simplify future maintenance. Attach a network Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 management port and connect it to your management network or a Panduit SmartZone controller to enable remote monitoring and alerting. Power up the PDU and verify that the management interface initializes correctly, then configure monitoring thresholds, alerting preferences, and outlet-level reporting within the SmartZone software. If Hubbell CS8365C hardware is part of your monitoring strategy, ensure proper interconnection with the PDU to enable enhanced single- and three-phase monitoring. Finally, perform a functional test by loading representative devices onto selected outlets, confirming that voltage levels remain stable, alarms trigger appropriately, and data flows to your DCIM system as expected. Periodically review firmware and software updates to maintain compatibility with evolving monitoring features and security standards.
