how to install Wiremold Rack Mount 120V/20A/6 Rear O/L /6' Cord/Built In Ammeter

• Prepare your rack space: Ensure your rack has standard 19-inch mounting rails and that there is at least 1U of vertical space available where the unit will be installed.
• Mount the PDU: Align the PDU with the rack rails and secure it using the appropriate screws for your rack depth and rail type. Confirm the unit sits firmly and does not wobble.
• Connect to power: Route the 6-foot cord to a suitable 120V power source that matches the input plug configuration (NEMA L5-20P / 5-20P as specified). Ensure the outlet is properly grounded and rated for the load you expect to place on the PDU.
• Load assignment: Connect your devices to the six NEMA 5-20R outlets, grouping critical equipment toward the most accessible outlets. Distribute the load to prevent overloading any single circuit and consider balancing high-draw devices across outlets.
• Verify operation: Power on the rack and verify that each connected device powers correctly. Check the built-in ammeter reading to confirm the total load is within safe operating limits. If any overload indicators are present, take corrective action by redistributing devices or reducing load.
