Installation
Mounting the PDU
Note: The illustrations may differ somewhat from your PDU model. Regardless of configuration, the user must
determine the fitness of hardware and procedures before mounting. The PDU and included hardware are designed
for common rack and rack enclosure types and may not be appropriate for all applications. Exact mounting
configurations may vary. Screws for attaching the mounting brackets and cord retention shelf to the PDU are
included. Use only the screws supplied by the manufacturer, or their exact equivalent.
IfinstallingthePDUinarackthathasbutton-mountslots,youonlyneedtoperformstepsfor

thePDUintoposition.
Note: To install the PDU with its outlets facing the rear
of the rack, use the included PDUMVROTATEBRKT
accessory. This V-shaped bracket provides a mounting
button on one leg of the V and a button- mount slot on
the other, effectively repositioning the mounting buttons.

Networking the PDU
Note: The MAC address of the PDU (a 12-digit string in this format: 000667xxxxxx) is printed on a label
attached to the PDU enclosure.
Ifyournetwork’sDHCPserverwillassignadynamicIPaddresstothePDUautomatically,go

EthernetportonthePDU.
Note: This port is not compatible with PoE
(Power over Ethernet) applications. The PDU
will attempt to obtain an IP address via DHCP.
This may take as long as several minutes,
depending on your network environment.
