2. The PDU must only be plugged into a three-wire, grounded outlet on a
circuit protected by a fuse or circuit breaker. Connection to any other type
of power outlet may result in a shock hazard.
3. Do not use extension cords or adapters with this PDU.
4. Never install a PDU, or associated wiring or equipment, during a lightning
storm.
5. Check that the power cord, plug, and socket are in good condition.

Step 1 – Mounting bracket installation
Install the screws (M4 X 8) in holes diagonal from each other.

Vertical Installation with Keyhole Mounts (0U Models) Electrical Installation
Ensure that the plug type of your PDU unit (e.g. NEMA 5-15P, NEMA 5-
20P, NEMA L5-30P) matches the wall receptacle type that you are using.
Step 1 – Receptacle evaluation
PDU must be plugged into a three-wire, grounded wall receptacle only.
The wall receptacle must also be connected to an appropriate branch
circuit/main with fuse or circuit breaker protection. Connection to any
other type of wall receptacle may result in a shock hazard.
CAUTION!!
Step 2 – Plug the PDU into the wall receptacle
Step 3 – Attach equipment
Before attaching equipment, it is important to calculate the total load that you
will be placing on the PDU. It is extremely important not to exceed the PDU's
maximum current load (as outlined in the Specifications section). In order to
determine your total load, simply add up the amperage of your devices and
ensure that it does not exceed the unit’s capacity.
Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Cause Solution
PDU Outlets do not
provide power to
connected
equipment
1. Open breaker
2. Loose power cord
Reset Breaker check if
plug is completely
connected.
If the problem remains
contact tech support.
Amperage displayed
on Amperage Meter
exceeds the unit’s
capability (Metered
type only)
1. Overload
2. Amperage meter is
damaged
The meter will flash
when overloaded.
Reduce the load on the
PDU until the overload
is gone.
If the problem remains
contact tech support.
Circuit breaker has
tripped
1. Sustained overload
2. Excessive ambient or
internal temperatures.
3. Faulty breaker
Reset Breaker.
If the problem remains
contact tech support.
Align the the Keyhole Mounts to the Keyhole Slots on the rack.
Insert and slide down to lock firmly into place.
Step 2 – PDU Mounting
Step 1 – Keyhole Mount installation
Attach the Keyhole Mounting Pegs to the PDU with the 2 supplied
Bracket Mounting Screws (M4 X 8).

Cord Retention Tray installation
(Optional for both horizontal and vertical installations)
Attach the Cord Retention Tray to the PDU with the 4 supplied Cord
Retention Tray Mounting Screws (M3 X 6).
Attach the Cord Retainer Clips to the Cord Retention Tray.
Meter Configuration
Use a screwdriver to gently remove the LED Meter. Rotate the LED Meter
90 degrees, and insert back into the PDU.
!
Note
Depending on installation method (vertical or horizontal),
the LED Meter may need to be rotated, before installation,
for proper orientation.
