Before You Begin
1. Prepare the installaon site. Make sure the installaon area is clean and not exposed to extreme temperatures or
humidity. Allow sucient space around the device for cabling and outlet connecons. Safety instrucons are provided
in the PX4 online help.
Fill out the Equipment Setup Worksheet found in the online help. Record the model, serial number, and use of each IT
device connected to the PDU's power outlets.
Mounng the PX4
Circuit Breaker Orientaon Limitaon
Usually a PDU can be mounted in any orientaon. However, when mounng a PDU with circuit breakers, you must follow
these rules:
•Circuit breakers CANNOT face down. For example, do not horizontally mount a Zero U PDU with circuit breakers facing •
up or down.

Threaded Grounding Point
The primary means of earthing the product is via the power cord connected to an earthed receptacle; however, some
models have a supplementary, threaded grounding point for connecon to TT earthing systems or where required by the
Authority Having Jurisdicon (AHJ) per naonal, regional or local applicable electric codes.
Idenfy it via the grounding symbol:
Where required, wire this point to an electrical system to protecvely ground the PX4.
Connecng the PDU to a Power Source
Do not stretch the power cord.
▶To connect a PDU to the power source:
1. Verify that all circuit breakers on the PX4 are set to ON. If not, turn them ON.
Or make sure that all fuses are inserted and seated properly. If there are any fuse covers, ensure that they are
closed.
Note: Not all models have overcurrent protectors.
2. Connect each PX4 to an appropriately rated branch circuit. Refer to the label or nameplate axed to your PX4 for
appropriate input rangs or range of rangs.
3. When a PX4 powers up, it proceeds with the power-on self test and soware loading for a few moments. At this me,
the outlet LEDs cycle through dierent colors.
Note: If a PDU beeps aer being powered up, either its circuit breaker has tripped or the L-N wiring is reversed. If no circuit
breakers tripped, check the wiring of the plug adapter that is used or the direcon in which the plug or plug adapter is
plugged into the power socket.
4. When the soware has completed loading, the outlet LEDs show a steady color and the front panel display illuminates.

Connecng to Your Network
To remotely administer the PX4, you must connect it to your local area network (LAN). Wired or wireless networks are
supported.
Ethernet port is enabled by default. Port layouts and number of Ethernet ports vary by model.
▶To make a wired connecon:
1. Connect a standard network patch cable to one or both Ethernet ports on the PDU.
•If one Ethernet port is higher speed, use the higher speed port for network connecon.•
2. Connect the other end of the cable to your LAN.
Sample iX9 controller. Port locaons may vary by model.
Warning: Accidentally plugging an RS-232 RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port can cause permanent damage(s) to the
Ethernet hardware.
▶To make a wireless connecon:
Do one of the following:
•Plug a supported USB wireless LAN adapter into the USB‑A port on your PDU.•
•Connect a USB hub to the USB-A port on the PDU. Then plug the supported USB wireless LAN adapter into the•
appropriate USB port on the hub.
