Raritan PX2-2190CR Outlet Switched iPDU

The Raritan PX2-2190CR Outlet Switched iPDU is a high-precision, enterprise-grade power distribution solution engineered for modern data centers, server rooms, and high-density networking closets. It combines outlet-level switching with real-time energy monitoring, enabling precise chargebacks, proactive capacity planning, and streamlined operations. Designed for reliability and ease of management, the PX2-2190CR helps you protect equipment, optimize cooling, and gain clear visibility into rack power usage—delivering intelligent control where you need it most.

• Real-time, per-outlet power monitoring with ISO/IEC +/- 1% billing-grade accuracy, covering current, voltage, power (kW/kVA), power factor, and energy usage (kWh). This precise telemetrics feed into DCIM and accounting workflows, enabling accurate chargebacks, capacity planning, and proactive issue detection across the rack ecosystem.
• Outlet-level switching and control that lets IT teams turn devices on/off, cycle outlets on demand, and implement targeted load-shedding strategies. Fine-grained outlet policies help protect critical equipment, reduce forecasted peak demand, and simplify maintenance windows without sacrificing uptime.
• Secure, remote management through a Web UI with support for SNMP and SSH, delivering real-time dashboards, historical reporting, and event-driven alerts. Operators gain centralized control and auditable records for compliance, capacity planning, and streamlined incident response.
• Rack-friendly design with scalable deployment in mind. The PX2-2190CR fits standard 19-inch racks and is built to handle demanding data-center environments. Energy-management features and per-outlet visibility help reduce cooling loads by identifying and addressing inefficiencies at the source.
• Comprehensive integration and lifecycle support. Firmware updates, robust security features, and compatibility with data center infrastructure management (DCIM) tools ensure smooth integration into existing ecosystems and long-term maintainability. This PDU is backed by Raritan’s support ecosystem, documentation, and best-practice guidance to optimize deployment and ongoing operation.

how to install Raritan PX2-2190CR PDU

• Mount the PDU in a standard 19-inch rack using the included mounting ears and screws. Ensure adequate airflow around the unit and observe rated weight limits for rack compatibility.
• Connect the main power input to a suitable electrical circuit in accordance with local electrical codes and the PDU’s specifications. Use appropriate overcurrent protection and follow safe electrical practices during installation.
• Attach devices to the PDU’s outlets, prioritizing switched outlets for non-critical gear and leaving essential equipment on non-switched or protected outlets as required by your topology.
• Power up the unit and configure network access. Obtain or assign an IP address (static or DHCP) and log in to the Web UI to set initial security, user accounts, and access permissions.
• Enable monitoring and alerts, customize outlet policies, and validate readings. Verify per-outlet measurements in the dashboard, test outlet switching, and review event logs to ensure proper operation and visibility across the rack.
