defects, or other reproductive harm.
Safety Guidelines
1. Installation of this product should only be performed by a person who has knowledge and
experience with electric power.
2. Make sure the line cord is disconnected from power before physically mounting or moving the
location of this product.
3. This product is designed to be used within an electronic equipment rack. The metal case of this
product is electrically bonded to the line cord ground wire. A threaded grounding point on the
case may be used as an additional means of protectively grounding this product and the rack.
4. Examine the branch circuit receptacle that will supply electric power to this product. Make sure
the receptacle’s power lines, neutral and protective earth ground pins are wired correctly and
are the correct voltage and phase. Make sure the branch circuit receptacle is protected by a
suitably rated fuse or circuit breaker.
5. If the product is a model that contains receptacles that can be switched on/off, electric power
may still be present at a receptacle even when it is switched off.
Tip 1: The outlet (socket) shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
Tip 2: For detailed information on any Raritan PDU's overcurrent protectors' design, refer to that
model's product specification on Raritan website's

This User Guide is applicable to all the following PDU Generations.
PX3 PDU Generation (3000/4000/5000 series)
PX3 with iX7™PDU Generation (3000/4000/5000 series)
Any PX Generations can be associated with existing metering families
called “Series”, from 1000 series to 5000 series.
For example, PX2-4000, PX3-4000 series and PX3-iX7-4000 series are all
inlet metered and outlet metered PDUs, but have different controller
generations.
Note: For information on other PX2, PX3 or PX3-iX7 models, see their
respective Online Help or User Guide on the Raritan website's
