- Installation Guide
System Requirements
- 19” front/rear mounting rack/cabinet (EIA 310-D compliant)
- 125VAC power source
Installation
-
The power distribution unit takes up 1U of rack space, so locate an appropriate location on the rack and mount it against the front or rear mounting posts.
-
Using the mounting hardware (screws, nuts, etc.) provided with your rack or from your rack manufacturer, secure the unit to the posts.
-
Connect the power cable from the distribution unit to a 125VAC power source.
Note: It is recommended that the unit be connected directly to a main source and not another distribution unit. -
Toggle the “Reset” switch on the front of the unit to the ‘On’ position to energize the unit.
-
The “Surge” LED should light up to indicate surge protection is active. The “Ground” LED should light up to indicate proper grounding is present.
Note: If the “SURGE” LED indicator is off, the surge protection circuit is compromised. Power cycle the power strip by toggling the power switch to the “OFF” position and back to the “ON” position. If a power cycle does not remedy the issue, it is likely the power strip has absorbed a power surge. Please contact your authorized StarTech.com reseller to purchase a replacement, or StarTech.com if you require additional support. -
You may now attach your 125VAC-compatible devices to the distribution unit.
Note: Combined power draw from all devices should not exceed 15A, otherwise the built-in circuit breaker will trip. -
In the event of an overload scenario, the built-in circuit breaker will be tripped and power to all outlets will be stopped.
-
Disconnect the problem device or all devices from the distribution unit and toggle the “Reset” switch to turn the ports back on.
