How to install PDU3EVN6L2130B

• Plan your rack layout: Verify available rack space and confirm mounting requirements for a 0U PDU, ensuring there is room for cable management and the LCD display visibility.
• Mount the PDU: Secure the unit to the rack using appropriate rails or mounting hardware supplied or recommended by the manufacturer, ensuring a stable, vibration-free installation.
• Connect the input power: With the system powered off, connect the L21-30P input plug to a compatible three-phase supply rated for 30A at 200–240V. Confirm all input connections are tight and shielded from potential interference.
• Route and secure outlets: Organize cables for devices plugged into the 42 C13 outlets and 6 C19 outlets. Use the plug-lock sleeves to secure critical power cords and prevent unintentional disconnections.
• Configure monitoring and network: Connect the PDU’s Gigabit Ethernet port to your management network. Access the LCD and the LX Interface to configure monitoring thresholds, alerts, and data logging for voltage, frequency, and load.
• Power on and verify: Apply power and check the LCD readouts for immediate indicators of voltage, frequency, and load. Validate that remote monitoring is reporting correctly by querying the PDU from your network management system.
• Perform a startup test: Power a representative mix of devices to ensure that C13 and C19 outlets distribute power evenly and that monitoring alerts trigger as expected under load.
• Documentation and maintenance: Record PDU serial numbers, model, and network address in your asset management system. Schedule regular checks for firmware updates, cable integrity, and alert configuration to maintain peak reliability.
