Note
Note
Note
PDU is approximately twice the output capability of the UPS.
This means that UPS would be over-loaded if all PDU outlets
were loaded to their rating. Load status on the individual
phases can be found through the UPS display or through the
web interface.
Equipment connected to the 3-phased output may require
overcurrent protection with a lower rating than the 3-phased
output.
For 3-phased output, the highest current may be in the Neutral
conductor at non-linear loads (up to 173%).
Set the top PDU breaker to the OFF position.
Using a torx screwdriver, remove the four M4 screws from the top
plate of PDU. Remove plate.
Connect the L1, L2, L3, N to the terminals and tighten the M6 screws
