how to install Raritan Dominion PX-2000 PX2-2492

• Choose the appropriate form factor for your rack: Determine whether your installation requires Zero U vertical mounting or 1U horizontal mounting based on available space, cabling clearance, and access to outlets.
• Prepare the rack and mounting hardware: Gather the necessary rails, screws, and brackets supplied with the PX-2000 series. Ensure the rack is stable and has sufficient airflow around the PDU.
• Mount the PDU securely in the rack: Install the PDU using the factory-provided mounting hardware, aligning the chassis with the rack rails and tightening screws to prevent movement during operation.
• Connect the input power: Use the appropriate power cord and input connector for your model and region (NEMA/IEC inputs, with attention to voltage requirements, including models supporting up to 400V where applicable).
• Wire and label outlets: Connect devices to the 24 outlets, labeling each outlet to identify critical equipment, non-critical devices, and any grouped devices to simplify maintenance and reboots.
• Configure and test: Access the PDU’s management interface (local or network-based, as provided by the model) to enable per-outlet switching, set outlet naming, and configure any alerting thresholds. Power up gradually and verify that each outlet responds correctly to switch commands and that connected devices operate normally.
• Document and monitor: Maintain a current map of outlet assignments and equipment payloads, and configure any logging or alerting features available in the PX-2000 series to monitor energy usage, faults, and device status over time.
