How to install Eaton ATS Rack PDU

• Prepare your rack: Verify you have a standard 19" rack with at least 1U of vertical space and sufficient rear clearance for cabling. Confirm that the rack can accommodate dual C20 power feeds and the outlet arrangement.
• Mount the PDU: Align the Eaton ATS Rack PDU with the rack’s vertical rails, slide it into place, and secure it using the mounting screws provided. Ensure the unit is level and firmly fastened to prevent movement during cable management or maintenance.
• Connect power inputs: Attach two independent power cords to the two IEC 60320 C20 inputs. Connect the other ends to two separate power sources or distribution paths as required by your redundancy strategy. If you’re using ATS functionality, follow your facility’s guidelines for automatic source switching to ensure seamless transfer should one source fail.
• Route and connect equipment: Plan your cable management carefully by grouping power cords and labeling outlets. Connect your servers, storage devices, and network gear to the C13 and C19 outlets. Aim for clean, organized cabling to improve airflow and simplify future maintenance.
• Power up and verify: Turn on the PDU and verify indicator LEDs (if present) illuminate as expected. Check that each outlet delivers power to connected devices and that redundancy features engage correctly when multiple power sources are used. Perform a basic load test to ensure balanced loading across available outlets and sources.
