how to install Raritan PXE PX2-2494-C5 24-Outlets PDU

  • Prepare the rack and mount area: Confirm the rack space is clear, align the PDU with the standard 19-inch mounting rails, and gather all required mounting hardware. Securely bolt the PDU into the rack to prevent back-plane movement and to maintain cabinet stability during maintenance or device changes.
  • Position for access and airflow: Install the PDU in a location that permits easy access to all outlets and leaves sufficient space for cable management and proper airflow around the rear of the rack. Avoid obstructing ventilation paths to maintain cooling efficiency for connected devices.
  • Connect the input power: Use an appropriately rated cable to connect the NEMA L6-30P input to a suitable 230 V circuit. Verify that the circuit can handle the full load of the devices you plan to connect and that protective devices (breakers) are sized to support peak usage without nuisance trips.
  • Distribute power across outlets: Connect servers, switches, storage, and other gear to the IEC 60320 outlets (C13 and C19) in a balanced manner to optimize performance and minimize voltage drop. Plan device placement so that critical equipment shares load across multiple outlets and power rails where possible.
  • Label, configure, and test: Label each outlet group for quick identification during maintenance. If the PXE PX2-2494-C5 includes management features, configure them according to your data-center policy. Power on devices incrementally, monitor voltage and current levels, and ensure all equipment powers up without tripping breakers or exhibiting anomalous behavior.
