With its compact 0U, vertical rack-mount form factor, the PX3-4098V-E2P1V2 keeps your rack space organized while delivering enterprise-grade power management. The PDU supports IEC 60309 3P+E connections and uses IEC 60320 C13 and C19 outlets, making it compatible with a wide range of IT equipment and accessories. If you’re aiming to simplify remote management, improve fault response times, and gain granular control over your power footprint, this monitored PDU is a compelling choice for modern infrastructure deployments.

• 48 high-capacity outlets: The PX3-4098V-E2P1V2 features 36 IEC 60320 C13 outlets and 12 IEC 60320 C19 outlets, offering versatile outlet configurations to support a broad mix of servers, storage, networking gear, and infrastructure components. This arrangement helps you consolidate power in a single, centralized unit while keeping outlets organized by device type or power priority.
• Monitored PDU with remote visibility: As a monitored unit, it provides real-time insight into electrical health, including voltage and current measurements, allowing proactive management and rapid fault isolation. Remote monitoring reduces the need for physical inspections and helps you respond quickly to anomalies before they impact uptime.
• 3-phase, 60A service (IEC 60309 9h): The PX3-4098V-E2P1V2 is designed for three-phase, 60-amp power feeds with IEC 60309 3P+E connectors, optimized for data-center power distribution. This configuration supports heavier loads and improves power balance across phases, which can enhance equipment performance and lifespan.
• Compact 0U vertical rack-mount form factor: The 0U, vertical design fits into standard 19-inch racks without occupying precious horizontal space. This compact footprint is ideal for dense data centers, colocation facilities, and edge deployments where rack real estate is at a premium.
• RJ-45 network interface for remote management: A built-in network port enables secure remote access to PDU management features, alarms, and energy data. This connectivity empowers IT teams to configure, monitor, and control power remotely, reducing onsite visits and enabling centralized management across multiple racks or sites.

How to install Raritan Rack PX3-4098V-E2P1V2

Installing the PX3-4098V-E2P1V2 is straightforward when you follow best practices for rack-mounted PDUs. Begin by selecting a suitable rack position that aligns with your existing wiring plan and ensures convenient access to connections, network cabling, and monitoring indicators. Plan for proper clearance around the unit to accommodate airflow and cable management. Safety first: disconnect the main power feed before installation and wear appropriate PPE as required by your facility’s standards.

Step-by-step guidance:

• Mount the PDU in a standard 19" rack with the 0U vertical profile. Use screws that are appropriate for your rack chassis to ensure secure attachment, and verify that the mounting area remains clear of obstructions.
• Connect the 230 V AC 3-phase power feed to the IEC 60309 9h inlet using the correct plug and a compatible, properly rated circuit breaker. Ensure the feed conductor size matches the system’s current requirements and that all wiring conforms to local electrical codes.
• Connect the PDU’s RJ-45 management port to your IT network. Use a standard Ethernet cable and configure network settings (static IP or DHCP, as required by your administration). Enable remote monitoring and set alert thresholds according to your facility’s operating policies.
• Route and connect outlets to your IT equipment, grouping devices by criticality or power priority. Implement a cable-management plan to minimize strain on outlets and provide clear visibility for maintenance checks and future replacements.
• Power up the PDU and verify status indicators. Access the management interface to confirm device discovery, load distribution across phases, and the accuracy of voltage readings. Validate that alarms are alerting as configured and that remote monitoring is reporting to your centralized systems.
• Develop a monitoring and maintenance routine that includes regularly reviewing energy usage metrics, updating firmware if available, and documenting any outlet configurations or device relocations for future reference.
