Note: Regardless of configuration, the user must determine the fitness of hardware and procedures before mounting. The PDU and included hardware are designed for common rack and rack enclosure types and may not be appropriate for all applications. Exact mounting configurations may vary. Screws for attaching the mounting brackets are included. Use only the screws supplied by the manufacturer or their exact equivalent (#6-32, 3/16″ flat head).
1-1 0U Rack Mounting: Use 2 screws to attach each of the 2 mounting
brackets to the PDU. Mount the PDU vertically by inserting 2 or more user-
supplied screws through the mounting brackets and into mounting points in the
rack or rack enclosure.
1-2 Wall Mounting: Use 2 screws to attach each of the 2 mounting brackets to the PDU. Mount the PDU to the wall by inserting 2 or more user-supplied screws through the mounting brackets and into secure mounting points.
1-3 UUnder-Counter Mounting: Use 2 screws to attach each of the 2 mounting brackets to the PDU. Mount the PDU under the counter by inserting 2 or more usersupplied screws through the mounting brackets and into secure mounting points
