Quick Installation Guide
VERTICAL MPH2 RACK
PDU MOUNTING
A vertical MPH2 rack PDU can be
mounted by using either the supplied
in-line brackets or the supplied
mounting buttons.
Determine which mounting method
best suits your rack and install the
necessary hardware in the rack. The
rack PDU should be mounted so that its
input power cord exits at either the top
or bottom of the rack.
In-line bracket installation
Install the brackets by inserting the legs
of each bracket into the slots on each
end of the rack PDU.
Insert two of the supplied spring nuts
into the appropriate T-slot on the rack
frame. Use a small, pointed object to
position the spring nuts into place.
Hold the bottom of the rack PDU
assembly over the desired mounting
holes in the rack frame or rack
manufacturer’s bracket and insert the
fasteners into the PDU bracket. Leave
the fasteners slightly loose.
Position the top PDU bracket over the
desired mounting holes and insert its
fasteners. Tighten all rack PDU bracket
fasteners.
Button mount installation
Use a Torx™ screw to attach the
supplied button mounts to the rear of
the rack PDU.
NOTE: Only use the mounting buttons
provided with the MPH2 rack PDU. Using
other mounting buttons may damage the
rack PDU.
Find the keyhole slots in the rack
frame or install the rack manufacturer’s
keyhole slot brackets in the desired
location in the rack.
Insert each of the attached mounting
buttons into the large opening of a
keyhole slot. Slide the assembly down
into the narrow portion of the keyhole
slots to lock the PDU in place.
HORIZONTAL MPH2 RACK
PDU MOUNTING
Attach the supplied brackets to
each side of the rack PDU. Attach
each bracket to the rack using the
appropriate screws for your rack.
