Connections and Installation
4.0 Connections and Installation Information
4.1 Operating Environment
• Position PDU in dry area on a bench, desktop or shelf.
• Rack Mount in equipment rack using mounting brackets. PDU may be flush with
front of rack or center mounted.
• Elevated Operating Ambient—If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the
operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room
ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an
environment compatible with the maximum ratings of the product.
• Installation of the equipment should be such that the amount of airflow required for
safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
• Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition
is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
• Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply
circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on over current
protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate
ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
• Reliable earthing of equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be
given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g.
use of power strips). Consult the local electrical code for additional information.
4.2 Electrical Connections
4.2.1 For 120 VAC products:
• Depress rocker handle of all circuit breakers to “off” position, Figure 4.2.
• Connect a 3-conductor AC line cord, Figure 4.1 Item A, to the power entry module(s)
at the rear panel, Figure 4.1 Item B. Cord must be rated at least or more than the
input current rating of the PDU. Power source must also be rated for appropriately
and have a ground.
• Connect equipment to AC outputs, Figure 4.1 Item C. Continuous current draw for
all connected units must not exceed the current rating per output group.
CAUTION:
• Power source for PDU must be properly grounded.
• Cord for PDU must be rated at least or more than the rating of the PDU.
• Total current for all connected units must not exceed the current rating per input.
