Installing the ePDU in a Rack Cabinet

There are three methods available for installing the ePDU in a rack cabinet. Review the installation methods described in this section and choose the method appropriate for your environment.

Using Cage Nuts with Mounting Clip Feet

To install the ePDU with mounting clip feet secured by cage nuts:

1. Locate the two cage nuts (supplied). Position and lock the two cage nuts far enough apart to stabilize the top and bottom of the ePDU when mounted on the rail. Attach the cage nuts with a flat-blade screwdriver.

2. Locate the two mounting clip feet and two screws (supplied). Position one mounting clip foot at a cage nut and secure the mounting clip foot to the rail with a screw, as shown in Figure 10. Repeat for the second mounting clip. Tighten both screws.

NOTE You can install the mounting clip feet vertically or horizontally.
