System Requirements
• 19” front/rear mounting rack/cabinet (EIA 310-D compliant)
• 125VAC power source
Installation
1. The power distribution unit takes up 1U of rack space, so locate an
appropriate location on the rack and mount it against the front or
rear mounting posts.
2. Using the mounting hardware (screws, nuts, etc.) provided with
your rack or from your rack manufacturer, secure the unit to the
posts.
3. Connect the power cable from the distribution unit to a 125VAC
power source.
Note: It is recommended that the unit be connected directly to a
main source and not another distribution unit.
4. Toggle the “Reset” switch on the front of the unit to the ‘on’
position to energize the unit.
5. The “Surge” LED should light up to indicate surge protection
is active. The “Ground” LED should light up to indicate proper
grounding is present.
Note: If the “SURGE” LED indicator is o, the surge protection circuit
is compromised. Power cycle the power strip by toggling the power
switch to the “OFF” position and back to the “ON” position. If a
power cycle does not remedy the issue, it is likely the power strip has
absorbed a power surge. Please contact your authorized
StarTech.com reseller to purchase a replacement, or StarTech.com if
you require additional support.
6. You may now attach your 125VAC compatible devices to the
distribution unit.
Note: Combined power draw from all devices should not exceed
15A, otherwise the built-in circuit breaker will trip.
7. In the event of an overload scenario, the built-in circuit breaker
will be tripped and power to all outlets will be stopped.
8. Disconnect the problem device or all devices from the distribution
unit and toggle the “Reset” switch to turn the ports back on.
