How to install Tripp Lite by Eaton 3.7kW Single-Phase Local Metered PDU

Installing this PDU is straightforward and designed to minimize downtime during deployment. Follow these steps to integrate it into a standard 19-inch rack and begin real-time power monitoring immediately.

• Plan and prepare: Assess your rack layout to balance power delivery across outlets and to ensure proper airflow. Identify critical equipment that will use the C13 vs C19 outlets for optimal load distribution.
• Mount the PDU: Slide the PDU into a vacant 1U slot in the rack. Secure it with the appropriate cage nuts and rack screws, ensuring the unit is level and firmly mounted for stability.
• Connect the supply: Route the blue IEC-309 16A plug from the PDU to a compatible 208/230V power source. Verify that the supply circuit can handle the total 16A load to prevent nuisance tripping.
• Route and connect devices: Attach servers, storage, and networking gear to the C13 and C19 outlets. Group critical devices on dedicated outlets when possible to simplify management and improve fault isolation.
• Activate metering and verify: Power on the equipment and review the PDU’s local readout to confirm current load matches expectations. Set any available alert thresholds if the unit offers adjustable protections or indicators.
• Label and maintain: Document outlet assignments and maintain clean cable management to optimize cooling and airflow around the rack.
