2.12 Quick Start for Universal Input Rack PDU

Eaton Universal Input Rack PDUs are a highly versatile solution for meeting the challenges of powering today's IT equipment. These Rack PDUs feature a special input connector that can be used with a variety of cordsets, including 1-phase, 3-phase delta 208V, 3-phase wye 120/208V, and 3-phase wye 240/415V. The power rating of the PDU is based on the input cordset used, as detailed in Table 4. These cordsets are sold and shipped separately from the PDU.

Step 1: Choose a CordSet

Cordsets should be selected via Table 4 based on the required power for the rack system, and the available receptacle to plug into.

Only Eaton cordsets having a Regulatory Model beginning with "EZ1" should be used with Eaton's Universal Input Rack PDUs.

Step 2 : Connect the CordSet to the PDU

To connect the cordset to the PDU:

  1. Rotate the cordset connector until the white line aligns with the large slot slot on the PDU connector.
  2. While keeping the cordset connector straight, insert the cordset connector as far as it will go into the PDU connector.

Figure 13. Align Cordset
White line Large Slot

  1. Rotate the metal ring on the cordset connector clockwise to secure it to the PDU. Hand-tighten only.

Figure 14. Tighten CordSet

natural_image 3D diagram of a cable connector with a green arrow indicating rotation, no text or symbols present

Step 3: Connect the Cordset to a Power Source

Most cordsets have a plug, and they should be connected to a matching receptacle.

A few cordsets have pigtails. These can be wired directly into an electrical junction box or busway tap-off box. This connection must be performed by a qualified electrical worker in conformance with local electrical codes. Note that the PDU+cordset connector pair is rated by UL and IEC as a disconnect device.

Step 4: Power-On and Configure the PDU

Apply power to the PDU.

For EVMAGU23X-3 with G3 PDU network card, the PDU input measurement mode needs to be configured in order to have proper display of input measurements and alarms.

* Note: While these plugs are 120/208V 3-Phase Wye, the neutral connection is not used in the cordset or PDU. The Input Power Mode should therefore be selected as 3-Phase Delta 208V.

2.13 Connecting the Output Devices

The Rack PDU outlets are available for connecting and monitoring devices such as workstations, servers, and switches. Connect a device you want to monitor to a power outlet on the Rack PDU with the power cord that comes with the device.

NOTE

You may find it useful to document the connections you make.

To connect your devices:

  1. Verify that each circuit breaker is in the On position.
  2. For Rack PDUs with detachable power cords. If the power cord is not connected, connect the power cord to the Rack PDU. Otherwise, go to Step 3.

  3. Route the Rack PDU power cord toward a dedicated power source. If desired, use cable ties to secure the power cord as needed. If the power cord must exit the rack cabinet to connect to a power source, use the openings in the rack cabinet.

Tripp Lite EVMAGU23X-3 - NOTE - 1

NOTE 1 Plug the Rack PDU into an appropriately rated outlet for its type.

NOTE 2 Do not replace or rewire the power cord.

  1. Connect the power cord to a properly wired and grounded dedicated power source. The Rack PDU turns on and displays an Eaton startup screen while starting. After a period of inactivity, the LCD screensaver will begin cycling through different screens.
  2. Connect your output devices to the outlets on the Rack PDU. Verify that each device is receiving power before connecting the next device.

Tripp Lite EVMAGU23X-3 - NOTE - 2

NOTE To avoid large surge currents, connect the protected equipment to the outlets individually rather than as a group. You may want to include a delay for Switched and Managed models when setting up groups of outlets to start at the same time to avoid a large in-rush current.

  1. Route all power cords neatly. If desired, use cable ties to secure the cords.
