Safety Guidelines

1. Installation of this product should only be performed by a person who has knowledge and
experience with electric power.
2. Make sure the line cord is disconnected from power before physically mounting or moving the
location of this product.
3. This product is designed to be used within an electronic equipment rack. The metal case of this
product is electrically bonded to the line cord ground wire. A threaded grounding point on the
case may be used as an additional means of protectively grounding this product and the rack.
4. Examine the branch circuit receptacle that will supply electric power to this product. Make sure
the receptacle’s power lines, neutral and protective earth ground pins are wired correctly and
are the correct voltage and phase. Make sure the branch circuit receptacle is protected by a
suitably rated fuse or circuit breaker.
5. If the product is a model that contains receptacles that can be switched on/off, electric power
may still be present at a receptacle even when it is switched off.
Tip 1: The outlet (socket) shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

This User Guide is applicable to the following PDU Generation.
PX3 with iX7™PDU Generation (3000/4000/5000 series)
Any PX Generations can be associated with existing metering families
called “Series”, from 1000 series to 5000 series.
For example, PX2-4000 and PX3-4000 series are all inlet metered and
outlet metered PDUs, but have different controller generations.
Note: For information on other PX2, PX3, PXC or PXO models, refer to
respective Online Help or User Guide on the Raritan website's Support
page
( http://www.raritan.com/support/ ).

Important: PDUs with similar model names but of different product
families may vary in their designs. For example, PX2-5660V and
PX3-5660V do NOT share the same outlet sequence and technical
designs. For details on a model's technical design, refer to their
product specifications on Raritan website's
