Mounting the PDU Horizontally
Installation Steps
To mount a PDU horizontally, follow these steps:
1. Determine the exact location of the PDU. A PDU is not recommended
behind certain HP units, as shown in Table 2-2. (Horizontally mounted
PDUs conflict with mechanical access if mounted behind these units.)
A PDU can be located in an empty EIA unit and a filler panel put in
the corresponding space in the rack front.
NOTE As shown in Table 2-2, if you locate the PDU behind the HP
NetServer LXr 8000, HP Rack Storage/8, or HP NetServer LH
3r, then the hot-swappable power supplies designed for access
and replacement from the rear of the rack will not be easily
accessible. If you locate the PDU behind the HP NetServer
LXr Pro8 or the HP FiberChannel 30, there will be
mechanical conflicts when units are extended out the rear of
the rack for service.
2. Orient the PDU horizontally so receptacles face rearward toward the
outside of the rack. Hold the PDU at the location you choose. Note
where the bracket will align with its hex nuts. See Figure 2-4.

3. Insert screws through the mounting brackets of the PDU, then through
the vertical column mounting holes, and into the hex nuts supplied,
and tighten them to secure the unit to the rack columns. See Figure
2-4.
