how to install Raritan SecureLock Standard Power Cord

Installing the Raritan SecureLock Standard Power Cord is straightforward and quick, designed to minimize downtime during rack upgrades or reconfigurations. Follow these general steps to ensure a secure and reliable connection:

1. Identify the appropriate length and connector type for your equipment and power distribution setup. Choose the cord that provides enough slack for routing without creating tension at the plug or outlet.
2. Power down devices as recommended by your data center’s maintenance procedures, or follow your standard equipment handling practices for safe connections.
3. Align the locking plug with the corresponding receptacle or PDU port. Ensure there is no obstruction and that the pins are properly aligned before insertion.
4. Insert the cord fully into the outlet until the SecureLock latch engages. You should feel a firm click or hear an audible cue indicating the lock is engaged and secure.
5. Gently tug on the cord near the plug to verify the lock is holding. Route the cable using cable trays or management channels to avoid excessive bending, tension, or interference with airflow and cooling.

During operation, routinely inspect the locked connections as part of your standard data center maintenance. If the environment requires rearrangement or replacement, disengage the lock by pressing or releasing the latch according to the cord’s design, then remove and replace with a different length or configuration as needed. Proper cable management and secure locking contribute to consistent power delivery and easier serviceability during maintenance windows.
