Raritan PX3-5493V 24-Outlets PDU

The Raritan PX3-5493V is a high-performance, intelligent rack PDU designed to power and protect critical IT equipment in data centers, server rooms, and edge deployments. Built for reliability and efficiency, this 24-outlet PDU combines robust power distribution with precise, real-time monitoring that helps you optimize energy usage, manage costs, and maintain uptime. With its advanced metering capabilities, remote management options, and billing-grade accuracy, the PX3-5493V is the smart backbone of modern data center power infrastructure.

• Real-time power insight on every outlet and the overall PDU, including current (amps), voltage, power (kW/kVA), and energy consumption (kWh) with +/- 1% billing-grade accuracy. This precise metering enables accurate chargeback, capacity planning, and proactive fault detection.
• 24 individually metered outlets deliver per-outlet visibility so you can track device-level power usage, identify power-hungry equipment, and implement power capping or scheduling to optimize data-center efficiency.
• Remote management you can trust through a rich web interface, SNMP, and seamless integration with Power IQ software. Centralized monitoring across racks and rows simplifies operations, alerting, and reporting for IT and facilities teams.
• Energy-efficient design and reliability with a compact, sturdy chassis built for dense racks. The PX3-5493V supports energy management features such as automatic voltage sensing, load balancing, and alerting to prevent overcurrent conditions, helping to extend equipment lifespan and minimize energy waste.
• Easy deployment and scalable control thanks to simple installation, configurable outlet grouping, and the ability to export data to data-center infrastructure management (DCIM) systems. Whether you are outfitting a single rack or an entire data center, this iPDU scales with your needs.

how to install PX3-5493V

• Power down equipment in the rack area and plan the PDU placement to optimize cable management and airflow. Remove the mounting rails if needed and install the PX3-5493V securely into the rack using the provided hardware.
• Connect the input power cord to a suitable power source with adequate capacity. Verify that the supply matches the PDU’s voltage and current rating before powering on.
• Route and connect devices to the 24 outlets, ensuring cables are neatly organized to maximize airflow and prevent obstruction of cooling paths. Label outlet assignments for easy identification in the web UI or DCIM tools.
• Power up the PDU and connect its Ethernet port to your management network. Access the built-in web UI through the PDU’s default IP address or via DHCP if enabled.
• Configure the network and management settings: set a static IP or obtain one via DHCP, configure the subnet/gateway, and enable SNMP if you plan to integrate with Power IQ or other management platforms. Set up alert thresholds for important metrics such as current, voltage, or energy usage to receive timely notifications.
• Integrate with your DCIM or Power IQ environment if you are using centralized monitoring, and verify that per-outlet metering data and overall PDU metrics are visible. Conduct a test by loading representative devices and checking live metering to confirm accuracy and responsiveness.
