If you ordered a rack with factory-installed PDUs, you must prepare these PDUs for use.
See Attach an Antistatic Wrist Strap for instructions.
The standard (first figure) and compact PDUs (second figure) are secured to the rack using the same type of shipping brackets.
Leaving these screws and washers in place secures the standard PDU firmly to the rack. However, you must remove these screws and washers if you move or service the PDU in the future.
A PDU has one to three power input lead cords, which you must route between the side panel and the rear RETMA rail.
Route the power input lead cords either down through the bottom of the rack or up through the top of the rack, depending on where you plan to connect the cords to the main power source.
Caution - Never twist, kink, or tightly bend a power input lead. |
The first figure shows how to route standard PDU power input lead cords down through the bottom of the rack.
The second figure shows how to route compact PDU power input lead cords down through the bottom of the rack.
The third figure shows how to route standard PDU power input lead cords up through the top cable window.
The fourth figure shows how to route compact PDU power input lead cords up through the top cable window.
Caution - If you route power input lead cords through the top cable window, do not rest the cables on the plastic sliding doors. |
Install these brackets near where the power input lead cords exit the rack.
