Mounting the PX4
Circuit Breaker Orientation Limitation
Usually a PDU can be mounted in any orientation. However, when mounting 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
Some models have a threaded grounding point. Identify it via the grounding symbol:
Wire this point to an electrical system to protectively ground the PDU.
QSRule
Connecting 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 affixed to your PX4 for appropriate input ratings
or range of ratings.

3. When a PX4 powers up, it proceeds with the power-on self test and software loading for a few moments. At this time, the outlet LEDs cycle
through different colors.
Note: If a PDU beeps after 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 direction in which the plug or plug adapter is plugged into the power socket.
4. When the software has completed loading, the outlet LEDs show a steady color and the front panel display illuminates.

Connecting 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 connection:
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 connection.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to your LAN.
Sample iX9 controller. Port locations 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 connection:
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.
