how to install Eaton 1.4kW 120V Single-Phase Switched Mini PDU

• Step 1: Prepare the installation area by clearing space in a standard 19-inch rack. Verify that the rack has available 0U mounting positions and that the mounting rails are aligned for a stable fit.
• Step 2: Mount the PDU in the rack’s 0U space using the included hardware or your preferred rack mounting kit. Ensure the unit is level, securely fastened, and that the cord management area remains accessible for clean cable routing.
• Step 3: Connect the PDU’s input cord to a properly rated 120V power source. Use a dedicated or appropriately rated 15A circuit to accommodate the 1.4 kW load, and route the power cord to avoid interference with airflow or hot spots.
• Step 4: Attach power cables or devices to the PDU’s receptacles as needed. Keep load distribution balanced to prevent overloading a single branch and ensure easy accessibility for routine power cycling or maintenance tasks.
• Step 5: Configure the LX Platform Interface settings. Access the local management interface or Eaton’s Power Management software to enable remote on/off control, create power-up/power-down schedules, set alerts for abnormal voltage or current, and establish any preferred naming conventions for devices connected to the PDU.
• Step 6: Verify operation and test remote control capabilities. Power the connected devices on and off via the LX interface, confirm status indicators, and review captured metrics such as current and voltage to validate proper monitoring and control functionality.
