WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from high-leakage current, verify earth connection before connecting the power supply. The summation of input power for multiple pieces of information technology equipment through the use of power products can result in high-leakage currents. If the total system leakage current for a system of components exceeds 3.5 mA: • The use of a detachable input power cord is prohibited.
Recommended hardware configurations Configurations The PDU is installed in a rack in the following configurations: • A single PDU configuration, with the outlets facing the center of the rack • A single PDU configuration, with the outlets facing the rear of the rack Recommended hardware configurations 6
• A double PDU configuration, with the outlets facing the center of the rack • An inverted PDU, with the input power cable exiting the top of the rack Recommended hardware configurations 7
• 1U and 0U configurations Recommended hardware configurations 8
Hardware installation Installing the PDU 1. Align and install the power cord retention bracket with the screw holes marked "C." 2. Align and install the mounting pins with the screw holes marked "M.
3. If installing the PDU inverted, install a mounting pin on the bottom of the PDU. 4. If needed, install the input power cable retention band.
