Server Technology PRO3X
Thank you for purchasing the Server Technology intelligent power distribution unit (PDU) – PRO3X.
This Quick Setup Guide explains how to connect your PRO3X PDU to your network. For more detailed information on this release,
see the latest release notes on the Support page.
\
Connecting the PDU to Your Network
PRO3X can be connected to a wired or wireless network.
To make a wired connection:
1. Connect a standard network patch cable to the Ethernet port
on the PRO3X.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to your LAN.
Note: The "green" Ethernet port labeled "ETH 10/100/1000"
supports up to 1000 Mbps so it is highly recommended for network
connection. If connecting both ports to the LAN, you must connect
them to two "different" subnets. If you are not sure whether the
device is connected to the same or different subnets, contact your
IT department.
To make a wireless connection:
1. Connect an appropriate USB wireless LAN adapter to the PDU.
2. Make sure the wireless LAN configuration is supported by your
PDU. See Appendix B: Wireless LAN Information (on page 3).

Initial Network Configuration
Depending on your networking environment, the best method
to initially configure your PRO3X differs.
•For a DHCP IPv4 networking environment, see Using a Web
Browser (on page 1).
•For an IPv6 or "static" IPv4 networking environment, see
Appendix A: Configuration via a Mobile Device or PDView (on
page 2).
QS Rule
Using a Web Browser
Initial configuration using a web browser involves these two steps.
Step 1: Retrieve the IP Address (on page 1).
Step 2: Log in to the PRO3X Web Interface (on page 1).
Step 1: Retrieve the IP Address
After connecting to a DHCP IPv4 network, an IPv4 address is
automatically assigned to your PRO3X.

What To Do Next
1. Connect IT equipment to the outlet(s) on the PRO3X.
2. Using the web browser: Step 2: Log in to the PRO3X Web
Interface (on page 1).
3. Choose Device Settings > Date/Time to configure the PRO3X
with the proper date and time or synchronize it with an NTP
server. The PRO3X device's time must be in sync with the LDAP
server to use LDAP authentication.
Note: If you are using Sunbird's Power IQ to manage the
PRO3X, you must configure Power IQ and the PRO3X to
have the same date/time or NTP settings.
4. To change network settings, choose Device Settings > Network.
Tip: You can enable both wired and wireless networking so
that the PRO3X can be accessed via either a wired or
wireless IP address.
5. The outlet control state is defaulted to ON so when the unit
boots the outlets will sequence ON.
6. Use the menu located on the left to configure user profiles,
privileges, security, or outlet thresholds.

Appendix A: Configuration via a Mobile Device or
PDView
An iOS or Android mobile device, such as a smartphone or tablet,
can function as a local display of PRO3X. Note that the Android
device must support USB "On-The-Go" (OTG), or this function
does not work.
Step 1: Download the "PDView" App
PDView", a free app for both Server Technology and Raritan PDUs,
is required for the mobile device to function as a local display.
To download PDView:
1. Visit either Apple App or Google Play Store.
https://itunes.apple.com/app/raritan-pdview/id780382738
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.raritan.
android.pdview
2. Install PDView.
Step 2: Connect the Mobile Device to PRO3X
The USB cable and USB port to connect are determined by your
mobile operating system.
To connect your mobile device to PRO3X:
1. Get an appropriate USB cable for your mobile device.
iOS: Use the regular USB cable shipped with your iOS
mobile device.
Android: Use an USB OTG adapter cable.
2. Connect the mobile device to the appropriate USB port on the
PRO3X.
iOS: USB-A port.
Android: USB-B port
Step 3: Launch PDView
You can access the PRO3X web interface via PDView to view
or change the settings.
To access the PRO3X web interface:
1. Launch PDView on your mobile device.
2. Wait until PDView detects the connected PRO3X and shows
the word "Connected".
3. Enter default admn/admn credentials

significant features.
•Dual networking with two Ethernet ports (ETH1/ETH2):
Both Ethernet ports must connect to two "different" subnets.
Connection to the same subnet is NOT recommended.
•Power sharing via the AUX port:
Power sharing ensures the continuous accessibility to the

Appendix D: More Information
Identifying the Sensor Port
Warning: If you purchase Raritan's environmental sensor
packages, make sure you connect them to the correct port on
the PRO3X, or damages may be caused to PRO3X and/or
connected sensor packages.
How to identify the SENSOR port:
•The correct port is labeled SENSOR.
•The SENSOR port is marked with YELLOW on a PRO3X PDU,
as shown below.
Threaded Grounding Point
If the PRO3X model you purchased is designed to have a
threaded grounding point, you can identify it via the grounding
symbol as shown below:
Wire this point to an electrical system in order to protectively
ground the PRO3X.
