Raritan PX3-1902R 18-Outlet PDU
The Raritan PX3-1902R 18-Outlet PDU is a high‑density, intelligent rack power distribution unit designed to simplify data center power management, maximize uptime, and optimize energy use. Part of the PX3 family, this iPDU delivers real‑time remote monitoring and control across all outlets with billing‑grade accuracy, helping IT teams, facilities managers, and data center operators gain precise visibility into every watt drawn by connected devices. Built for reliability in demanding environments, the PX3-1902R integrates seamlessly with leading DCIM tools and IT workflows, delivering actionable insights and streamlined power governance from a single, secure interface.
- Per-outlet metering and control: Monitor current, voltage, and power at each individual outlet while enabling remote switching and sequencing. This granularity supports accurate chargeback, proactive troubleshooting, and precise capacity planning across the entire rack ecosystem.
- Billing‑grade accuracy when it matters most: Real‑time measurements with ±1% accuracy ensure your data center billing, budgeting, and energy reporting reflect true consumption, even at the outlet level. This level of precision supports effective energy management programs and cost transparency for stakeholders.
- Real‑time monitoring for uptime and efficiency: Continuous sensing of amps, volts, kW/kVA, and kWh empowers operators to identifyLoad imbalances, prevent over‑subscription, and optimize cooling and electrical infrastructure based on actual usage patterns.
- Robust rack integration and scalable management: The PX3‑1902R is designed for 1U, 19" rack configurations, delivering 18 outlets in a compact footprint. It supports centralized management through web UI, SNMP, and DCIM integrations, enabling easy deployment in single racks or large data center environments.
- Secure, flexible administration: Enterprise‑class access controls, secure communications, and support for standard management protocols ensure that only authorized personnel can configure or switch outlets, while detailed event logs provide traceability for audits and compliance.

how to install Raritan PX3-1902R 18-Outlet PDU
- Power down the rack area and identify a suitable 19" rack location with ample clearance for heat dissipation and maintenance access.
- Unpack the PDU and align it with the selected rack mounting rails. Secure the unit using the included screws, ensuring the chassis is level and firmly fastened to prevent vibration or movement.
- Connect the input power cord to the PX3‑1902R and plug it into a properly rated power source that matches the device’s electrical requirements. Ensure that the upstream circuit can safely handle the anticipated load.
- Route and connect IT devices to the 18 outlets on the PDU. Arrange cables neatly to minimize airflow disruption and to simplify future service or reconfiguration.
- Power on the PDU and access its network management interface via the default IP address or the DHCP lease system, following the on‑screen prompts to initialize the device.
- Configure network settings (IP address, gateway, DNS) and establish secure administrator credentials. Enable SNMP, web UI access, and any required DCIM integrations to begin real‑time monitoring and control.
- Calibrate measurements if prompted and verify that per‑outlet metering is reporting accurately in the management console. Set up alert thresholds for critical parameters (voltage drop, overcurrent, high energy usage) to receive proactive notifications.
- Test remote outlet control by cycling selected outlets under supervised conditions to ensure correct operation and sequencing. Confirm that logs and alerts are recording as expected.
- Establish routine maintenance practices, including firmware checks, backup configurations, and periodic audits of outlet status to maintain optimal performance and reliability.
- Document the configuration details, including IP addresses, credentials, and alert settings, in your data center runbook for future reference and compliance.
Frequently asked questions
Q: What is the PX3-1902R best suited for?
A: The PX3-1902R is designed for data centers, server rooms, and lab environments that require precise energy visibility and control at the outlet level. Its 18 outlets in a 1U form factor make it ideal for high‑density racks seeking improved uptime, chargeback accuracy, and energy efficiency.
Q: Can I monitor power usage in real time?
A: Yes. The PX3‑1902R provides real‑time monitoring of current, voltage, and power consumption (kW/kVA) as well as energy (kWh). This data can be accessed through the web UI, SNMP, and DCIM integrations, enabling proactive power management and reporting.
Q: Does the unit support per‑outlet control?
A: Absolutely. Each outlet can be individually monitored, reported, and controlled remotely, enabling load balancing, maintenance cycles, and rapid fault isolation without requiring on‑site intervention.
Q: How is security handled?
A: The PX3‑1902R supports secure management interfaces and credentials, with secure access through the web UI and SNMP where configured. Role‑based access and logging help maintain accountability and protect critical infrastructure.
Q: Is it compatible with existing DCIM tools?
A: Yes. The PX3‑series is designed for easy integration with common data center infrastructure management (DCIM) tools through standard management protocols, enabling centralized monitoring and reporting across the data center.
Q: What about installation and maintenance?
A: Installation is straightforward in a standard 19" rack, with the typical steps including mounting, cabling, network configuration, and calibration. Routine maintenance involves firmware updates, health checks of sensors, validation of alert configurations, and documentation updates to ensure ongoing reliability and accuracy.
