Raritan Dominion PX2-2288R-N1 12-Outlets PDU

The Raritan Dominion PX2-2288R-N1 12-Outlets PDU is a cornerstone of modern data-center power management, designed to give you the broadest, yet precise, visibility into how energy is used at every point in your rack. As part of the PX family, this smart PDU delivers real-time remote power monitoring and control that empowers IT teams to improve uptime, reduce energy waste, and optimize capacity planning. With a focus on reliability and advanced management capabilities, the PX2-2288R-N1 is built to streamline operations in dense server environments while providing the billing-grade accuracy needed for chargeback and energy accounting. This PDU helps you move from reactive to proactive power management, enabling smarter, data-driven decisions for your data center infrastructure.

• Real-time power monitoring with billing‑grade accuracy: Monitor current (amps), voltage, power (kW/kVA), and energy consumption (kWh) with ±1% accuracy. This precise insight enables accurate capacity planning, chargeback reporting, and immediate detection of power anomalies before they impact service levels.
• 12 outlets in a compact rack-friendly form factor: The PX2-2288R-N1 provides a reliable, space-efficient distribution solution for standard 19-inch racks, enabling you to power and segregate critical devices while keeping cabling organized and accessible for maintenance.
• Advanced management and alarming: Leverage remote management capabilities via web interface and SNMP, with configurable alarms, thresholds, and event notifications. Instantly receive alerts through email, syslog, or your existing monitoring system to stay ahead of potential issues.
• Outlet‑level control for dynamic workloads: Execute remote on/off control, scheduling, and outlet mapping to power down nonessential equipment during peak demand or planned maintenance, improving energy efficiency without compromising uptime.
• Secure, scalable, and data-center ready: Built to integrate with existing data-center monitoring ecosystems, featuring role-based access, audit trails, and secure communications to safeguard your power infrastructure while scaling as your rack footprint grows.

How to Install Raritan Dominion PX2-2288R-N1 12-Outlets PDU

• Plan and prepare: Identify a suitable rack location with adequate clearance, confirm input power availability for the PDU’s electrical requirements, and determine network configuration (static IP or DHCP) for management access. Ensure you have the appropriate mounting hardware and cables for a clean, serviceable installation.
• Mount the PDU in the rack: Install the PX2-2288R-N1 in a secure 19-inch rack position. Use the included mounting rails or brackets to fasten the unit firmly, ensuring proper air flow and accessibility to outlets for connected devices.
• Connect power and network: Connect the PDU to the appropriate mains power source per its specifications. Then connect the PDU to your network through the Ethernet management port. If you have a fixed IP, configure it via the web interface; otherwise, set DHCP and reserve an IP for consistent management access.
• Configure management and thresholds: Access the web UI to set user accounts, access roles, and SNMP communities. Define monitoring thresholds for current, voltage, and power, and configure alert destinations (email, syslog, or integrated DCIM tools).
• Map outlets and enable controls: Use the interface to map each outlet to its connected device groups. Enable remote power control, scheduling, and any automated policies for peak shaving or maintenance windows.
• Test and verify: Validate readings from the PX2-2288R-N1 against known loads, verify alert generation, and test remote power control by cycling a noncritical outlet. Confirm that logs are being recorded and that monitoring integration is functioning with your DCIM or monitoring platform.
• Document and secure: Save configuration details, IP address, credentials, and alert settings in a secure location. Review security settings and ensure that only authorized personnel have access to power management functions.
