and safety precautions necessary for safe operation of the equipment in your environment. Gateview
Technologies assumes no liability for failure to comply with these requirements.
•Rack PDUs are intended for indoor use only in a controlled environment that adhere to the operating
temperatures within this manual. Any use outside of these constraints may void the warranty.
•Rack PDUs rated for 240/415VAC may be fitted with a NEMA L22-20 or L22-30 plug that is rated for a
higher voltage. Caution must be taken to assure that the rating of the Rack PDU and the supply
voltage match.
•The total capacity of equipment connected to the Rack PDU CANNOT EXCEED the maximum load
rating of the Rack PDU.
DANGER
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE, CURRENT, AND ENERGY LEVELS ARE PRESENT IN THIS PRODUCT.
INTERNAL CIRCUITS CAN HAVE HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES PRESENT EVEN WITH PDU
CIRCUIT BREAKERS IN THE OFF POSITION. DO NOT OPERATE THE PRODUCT WITH THE
COVER REMOVED.
Professionals installing and operating Rack PDUs are advised of the following:
•Do not try to modify the Rack PDU in anyway, including the input plug, power whip and receptacles.

parts inside the Rack PDU.
•Do not attempt to use the Rack PDU if any part of it is damaged.
•Rack PDUs rated 30A and greater contain magnetic-hydraulic circuit breakers. Circuit breaker
equipped PDUs must be mounted vertically.
•Do not mount the Rack PDU to an unstable enclosure or surface.

Equipment grounding
To minimize electrical shock hazard, the Rack PDU chassis/enclosure is connected to the electrical earth
ground pin of the Rack PDU plug. The input power cable must be plugged into an industry electrical code
compatible receptacle which provides connection to the facility electrical safety ground.

Regulatory Compliance
Product Safety
Rack PDUs have been safety tested and certified to the following standards:
•USA UL 60950-1: 2nd edition October 2014
•CAN/CSA 22.2 No. 60950-1
•Canada ICES-003 (A) / NMB-003 (A)

USA Notification
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at their own expense.
Canadian Notification
This Class A digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment
Regulations.
Installation
Installation of Rack PDUs into a server rack is performed by using the buttons that are already attached to
the back surface of the Rack PDU. These buttons mate with keyhole slots located in the server rack.
Mounting button detail: Key slot example:
Alternately, Rack PDU mounting buttons may be removed (attached with #6-32 screws) and a customer
supplied bracket designed for Rack PDU mounting may be attached. The attachment screws can be re-
used. A customer supplied #6-32 screw should not penetrate the Rack PDU chassis more than 1/8".

Power Monitoring
PowerLOK models with monitoring include a local touchscreen display and ethernet communication.
Monitoring accuracy
•Voltage: ± 0.5% at nominal
•Current: ± 1.0% of measurement from 250 mA –1A
•Current: ± 0.5% of measurement from 1A –30A
The touchscreen can rotate 180 degrees. The illustration below is a 30A/208V 3PH Rack PDU example:

Ethernet Communication
The Rack PDU is equipped with two RJ45 10/100Base-T Ethernet ports to attach to an existing local area
network (TCP/IP v4). This connection allows access to the Rack PDU via a web browser or SNMP client.
The PDU has two RJ45 connectors that are bidirectional; therefore, the user can connect to either of
them to set up your PDU to the network. Furthermore, the user can connect to 12 PDUs in series by
daisy chaining them.
The Rack PDU supports three methods of assigning the IP address, default gateway, and subnet mask.
Addressing mode
Description
Comment
Linked local
IPv4 link-local addresses are assigned
to address block 169.254.0.0 -
169.254.255.255
This addressing mode supports attaching a host
PC/laptop directly to the Rack PDU without
requiring a switch, router or DHCP server.
Static IP
Default PDU network configuration
IP address: 192.168.1.254
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1
The static IP information can be changed using a
web browser.
DHCP
The Rack PDU network configuration
information is provided by the DHCP
server.
The local touchscreen display will publish the IP
address assigned to the Rack PDU by the DHCP
server.

Web Browser
The Rack PDU is equipped with a web server page accessible over IP. To access, open a browser window
and enter the PDU IP address.
If the PowerLok web page does not appear, the PDU is not connected or the network does not recognize
the PDU. See section: How to connect your PC/laptop with Linked local and Static IP option or call your
network administrator.
For each data set, historical graphing or historical logs can be viewed.

This completes the necessary steps to configure for static IP. Open a browser and enter
the static IP address to access the PowerLok web server as shown below:
How to setup the PDU with the Static IP to the router
To setup the PDU for your router follow these steps:
Step 1: Use the command prompt and type ipconfig to view the assigned IP address.

Step 2: To setup the PDU with the IP address in the address block, I used: 192.168.1.10. To
determine if the IP address in not in use, type arp-a command as shown below:
Step 3: Open the web server using your IP address and open the Admin section to select Edit.
