How to install Eaton Tripp Lite Series 3.7kW Local Metered PDU

• Prepare the rack area and confirm that your rack has 1U clearance and compatible mounting rails for a PDUs of this size and weight. Ensure the front of the rack is accessible for quick meter readouts and outlet access.
• Power down equipment in the rack if you are upgrading an existing distribution solution. Disconnect devices safely and organize cables to prevent interference with the PDU outlets.
• Mount the PDU securely into the rack chassis using the included mounting hardware. Align the PDU so that the outlets are accessible from the front and the built-in meter is clearly visible to operators at a glance.
• Connect the PDU input to your power source using the L6-20P connector and a suitable power cord. Ensure the connection is tight and that the power source matches the 208/230V single-phase specification described by your data-center or room requirements.
• Route the outlets to your devices, grouping them by device type if possible for easier management. After all devices are connected, power on the rack and monitor the built-in digital current metering readout to confirm proper distribution and load balance.
• Verify that all equipment powers on correctly and that the PDU’s meter accurately reflects the current draw. If any discrepancies appear, review cable connections and device power states, then re-check the meter reading to ensure accuracy.
