Attach the supplied mounting brackets to the PM PDU using the four retaining screws provided for
each bracket. Align the mounting holes of the brackets with the notched holes on the vertical rail of
the rack and attach with the retaining screws. Attach the supplied retention clips (single retention
clip for 3-port PM PDU, dual retention clip for 6-port PM PDU) using the notches to the side of the
outlets on the PM PDU. Use the provided retention clips or VELCRO
®
strips to secure the power
cords to the PM PDU.
NOTE: Ensure each bracket is attached to the correct side of the PM PDU so that neither bracket is covering any
part of the air vents on the sides of the PDU.
