Switched Rack PDU Installation and Quick Start 3
How to Install the Rack PDU
Installation guidelines
• For a Rack PDU installed in an enclosed communications rack, the
recommended maximum ambient temperature is 45° C (113º F).
• Install the Rack PDU so that it does not reduce the air flow
required for safe operation of the equipment.
• Install the Rack PDU so that there is an even mechanical load.
• Follow the nameplate ratings when connecting equipment to the
supply circuit. Avoid overloading the circuits, which could affect
over-circuit protection and supply wiring.
• Maintain reliable earthing of the Rack PDU, especially supply-
connections that do not directly connect to the branch circuit.
• Install the Rack PDU so that the power plug is accessible to be
disconnected for service.
