Before You Begin

1. Prepare the installation site. Make sure the installation area is clean and not exposed to extreme temperatures or humidity. Allow sufficient space around the device for cabling and outlet connections. Safety instructions are provided in the PX2/PX3 online help.

Fill out the Equipment Setup Worksheet found in the online help. Record the model, serial number, and use of each IT device connected to the PDU’s power outlets.

Mounting the PDU

Use one of the mounting methods to install your product t.
Circuit Breaker Orientation Limitation

Usually a PDU can be mounted in any orientation. However, when mounting a PDU with circuit breakers, you must follow these rules:

• Circuit breakers CANNOT face down. For example, do not horizontally mount a Zero U PDU with circuit breakers facing up or down.

Mounting 1U or 2U Models

Using the appropriate brackets and tools, fasten the 1U or 2U device to the rack or cabinet.

To mount the PX2/PX3 device:

1. Attach a rackmount bracket to both sides of the PX2/PX3 with the provided screws.
2. Insert the cable support bar into rackmount brackets.
3. Secure with the provided end cap screws.
4. Fasten the rackmount brackets’ ears to the rack using your own fasteners.

Mounting Zero U Models Using Baseplate-Based Tools

You can use one of the three baseplate-based tools to mount the PDU: L brackets, buttons or claw foot brackets.

To mount Zero U models using baseplates:

1. Align the baseplates on the rear of the PX2/PX3 device.
2. Make the baseplates grasp the device lightly. Use the included L-shaped hex key to loosen the hex socket screws until the baseplate is”slightly”
3. Attach brackets or buttons to the baseplates.
   • Fasten each L bracket or claw foot bracket to each baseplate with at least three scre ws (one through each slot).
   • Screw each mounting button to each baseplate. The recommended torque for the button is 1.96 N·m (20 kgf·cm).
4. Fasten the device to the rack or cabinet using the baseplaed based tools.
   • Use rack screws to fasten L brackets or cl aw foot brackets on the PDU to the rack.
   • For the buttons, press the PDU forward, pushing the mounting buttons through the mounting holes, then letting the device drop about 5/8″.

Mounting Zero U Models Using Buttons

1. Turn to the rear of the PX2/PX3.
2. Locate the two screw holes on the rear panel.
3. Screw a button in each screw hole. The recommended torque for the button is 1.96 N·m (20 kgf·cm).
4. Press the PDU forward, pushing the mounting buttons through the mounting holes, then letting the PDU drop slig htly.

Mounting Zero U Models Using L-Brackets and Buttons

1. Fasten the L bracket to each end of the PDU.
2. Choose either of the following ways to fasten the PDU to the rack.
   • Attach the rack screws to the two rackmount holes of each L bracket.
   • Screw a mounting button in the back center of each L bracket and then have both buttons engage the mounting holes in the rack. The recommended torque for the button is 1.96 N·m (20 kgf·cm).

Connecting the PX3 Locking Line Cord

A PX3 model is shipped with a locking line cord. Plug that cord into the PDU’s inlet and the cord is sec urely locked.

Note: To remove the cord, press the locking clips or push the slide buttons at two sides of the cord’s connector.

Connecting the PDU to a Power Source

Do not stretch the power cord.

To connect a PDU to the power source:

1. Verify that all circuit breakers on the PX2/PX3 are set to ON. If not, turn them ON. Or make sure that all fuses are inserted and seated properly. If there are any fuse covers, ensure that they are closed.
   Note: Not all models have overcurrent protectors.

2. Connect each PX2/PX3 to an appropriately rated branch circuit. Refer to the label or nameplate affixed to your PX2/PX3 for appropriate input ratings or range of ratings.

3. When a PX2/PX3 powers up, it proceeds with the power on self-test and software loading for a few moments. At this time, the outlet LEDs cycle through different colors.
   Note: If a P
   DU beeps after being powered up, either its circuit breaker has tripped or the L N wiring is reversed. If no circuit breakers tripped, check the wiring of the plug adapter that is used or the direction in which the plug or plug adapter is plugged into the power socket.

4. When the software has completed loading, the outlet LEDs show a steady color and the front panel display illuminates. Connecting the PDU to Your Network

To make a wired connection:

1. Connect a standard network patch cable to the Ethernet port on the PX2/PX3.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to your LAN.
   Note: The “green” Ethernet port labeled “ETH1 10/100/1000” supports up to 1000 Mbps so it is highly recommended for network c onnect ion.

Initial Network Configuration

Depending on your networking environment, the best method to initially configure your PX2/PX3 differs.

• For a DHCP IPv4 networking environment, see Using a Web Browser (on page 5
• For an IPv6 or “static” IPv4 networking environment, see Appendix A: Configuration via a Mobile Device or PDView (on page 6

Appendix D: More Information

Identifying the Sensor Port Warning: Only connect environmental sensors to the SENSOR port, or damages may be caused to the device and the sensor packages.

• The correct port is labeled SENSOR and highlighted yellow.

Note: On a PX2 PDU, there is no yellow color shown on the SENSOR port.

Threaded Grounding Point

The primary means of earthing the product is via the power cord connected to an earthed receptacle; however, some models have a supplementary, threaded grounding point for connection to TT earthing systems or where required by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) per national, regional or local applicable electric codes.

Identify it via the grounding symbol:

Where required, wire this point to an electrical system to protectively ground the PX2/PX3.
