JPDU-A SIDE RAIL (0U) INSTALLATION MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS:
With a 5/16" nut driver, unfasten the set of 10-32 Hex head
machine screws on each side of JPDU-A. Take one of the front
mounting brackets and align each side hole with the side hole
on JPDU-A. Attach one front mounting bracket using two of
the unfastened 10-32 Hex screws. Repeat installations steps
for the other front mounting bracket as shown above.

appropriate hardware (not provided) for mounting.
The JPDU-A has two 12 amp circuits which are indicated by the two LEDs in the front of the unit.
Each circuit is protected by a 15 amp circuit breaker and 280V clamping level surge protection. A
lighted LED indicates that the circuit is functioning properly and is surge protected. A non-lighted
LED indicates that the circuit is not functioning properly and/or is not surge protected.

RECOMMENDED MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS - Remote Display:
All “-RAM” models contain a remote display unit which can be mounted in a 1U rack mount face plate. To install remote display,
remove black insert and push pins from the rack mount face plate to clear the desired display location. Use a flat screw driver to
gently pry up the push pin head followed by the push pin body so they are not separated.
Line up the remote display unit with the cleared holes in the rack mount face plate and insert the push pins through the pin holes
as indicated. Once secured, install the face plate into your 19" [482mm] rack via the closed slots.
