Important Safety Instructions

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This manual contains instructions and warnings that should be followed during the installation, operation, and storage of this product. Failure to heed these instructions and warnings will void the product warranty.

• The PDU provides convenient multiple outlets, but it DOES NOT provide surge or line noise protection for connected equipment.

• The PDU is designed for indoor use only in a controlled environment isolated from excess moisture, temperature extremes, conductive contaminants, dust or direct sunlight.

• Do not connect the PDU to an ungrounded outlet or to extension cords or adapters that eliminate the connection to ground.

• The power requirement for each item of equipment connected to the PDU must not exceed the individual outlet’s load rating.

Installation

Mounting the PDU

Note: The illustrations may differ somewhat from your PDU model. Regardless of configuration, the user must determine the fitness of hardware and procedures before mounting. The PDU and included hardware are designed for common rack and rack enclosure types and may not be appropriate for all applications. Exact mounting configurations may vary. Screws for attaching the mounting brackets and cord retention shelf to the PDU are included. Use only the screws supplied by the manufacturer, or their exact equivalent (#6-32, ¼" flat head).

If installing the PDU in a rack that has button-mount slots, you only need to perform step If your rack enclosure does not have button-mount slots, proceed to step

1-1

To install the PDU in a rack equipped

with button-mount slots, insert the mounting buttons on the rear of the PDU into the button-mount slots on the rack and slide the PDU down until the mounting buttons engage the narrow section of the of the buttonmount slots.

Note: To install the PDU with its outlets

facing the rear of the rack, use the included PDUMVROTATEBRKT accessory. This V-shaped bracket provides a mounting button on one leg of the V and a buttonmount slot on the other, effectively repositioning the mounting buttons. See Features section for image.

Connecting the PDU

2-1

(Models with IEC power inlet or 3-pole

IEC 309 plug only.) Select models have a detachable power cord. Attach the included power cord to the PDU by inserting the IEC connector A of the power cord into the IEC power inlet B located near the end of the PDU. Use the included bracket C to secure the power cord connection.

Note: Optionally, a user-supplied power cord

can be attached to the PDU by connecting it to the IEC inlet. Do not attempt to attach a user-supplied power cord unless it is certified to be compatible with the input power source that will be used by the PDU.

2-2

(Optional - models with input plug

adapter only.) Select models include an input plug adapter that converts the twist-lock input plug to a straight-blade input plug. Attach the input plug adapter A to the input plug B if you wish to plug the PDU into a compatible straight-blade outlet.

2-3

Connect the input plug to a compatible

AC power outlet. If the PDU does not have a circuit breaker, it should be provided with a branch-rated overcurrent protection device that matches the rated amperage of the PDU.

Note: The AC power source should not share

a circuit with a heavy electrical load.

2-1

2-2

2-3

2-4

(Optional) If you attached the cord

retention bracket(s), tie each equipment power cord to the retention bracket. Attach each cord to the retention shelf by looping the cord and

securing it with one of the included cable ties A. Make sure that each cord can be unplugged from the PDU without removing the cable tie.

Connect your equipment's input plugs

to the outlets B of the PDU. The

LED C near each outlet (Switched Models Only) illuminates when the outlet is ready to distribute live AC power. The digital load meter D displays the total connected equipment load in amps. (Select models provide additional load data. See the Features section for more information.)

Note: In order to minimize interference among

connected devices, connect each device to the nearest PDU outlet and coil excess power cord length.

Networking the PDU

Note: The MAC address of the PDU (a 12-digit string in this format: 000667xxxxxx) is printed on a label attached to the PDU enclosure.

If your network's DHCP server will assign a dynamic IP address to the PDU automatically, go to

Dynamic IP Address Assignment

3-1

Connect PDU to Network: While the

PDU is powered, connect a standard Ethernet patch cable to the RJ-45 Ethernet port A on the PDU.

Note: This port is not compatible with PoE

(Power over Ethernet) applications. The PDU will attempt to obtain an IP address via DHCP. This may take as long as several minutes, depending on your network environment.

3-2

Discover IP Address: Contact your network administrator to determine which dynamic IP

address has been assigned to the PDU by the DHCP server. The PDU can be identified on the DHCP server by referring to its MAC address. (The MAC address is a 12-digit string in this format: 000667xxxxxx. Refer to the MAC address label attached to the PDU.) You may wish to request a long-term lease period for the IP address, depending on your application. After you have discovered the IP address, skip Steps directly to Step

Static IP Address Assignment

Determine IP Information: Before assigning a static IP address, you'll need to know the

IP address, gateway address and subnet mask. If you do not have this information, contact your network administrator for assistance.

Configure Terminal Emulation Program: Open a VT100-compatible terminal emulation

program (such as the HyperTerminal program bundled with Microsoft® Windows®) on a computer with an available DB9 serial port. (A notebook computer may be the most convenient choice.) Set the terminal emulation program to use the COM port that corresponds to the computer’s DB9 serial port. Specify the parameters required to communicate with the PDU terminal interface:

Bits per second: 9600 Data bits: 8 Parity: None

If the terminal emulation program supports multiple emulation modes, you may also need

to specify VT100 emulation.

Connect PDU to Computer: Use the

RJ-45 to DB9 serial cable (part number 73-1243) included with the PDU to connect the PDU to the computer. The RJ-45 connector A at one end of the cable attaches to the CONFIG port B on the PDU. The DB9 connector C at the other end of the cable connects to the computer's serial port D.

Access PDU with Web Browser:

After an IP address has been assigned to the PDU, attempt to access it with a Web browser that supports frames, forms and Java™. Open a Web browser on a computer connected to the LAN and enter the IP address assigned to the PDU. You should be prompted for a password A. The user name is admin and the default password is admin. After you enter the user name and password, the PowerAlert status page

will appear in the browser window. For more information about configuration and operation of the PDU via the PowerAlert interface, refer to the SNMPWEBCARD User's Guide, included on the CD-ROM bundled with the PDU.

Note for Network Management System Users Only: Two MIB files - Tripplite.mib and RFC1628.mib - must be loaded on each Network Management Station that will monitor the PDU via SNMP. The files are provided on the CD-ROM included in the product package.
