Installation Connecting the Output Devices The PDU outlets are available for connecting and monitoring devices such as workstations, servers, and printers. Connect a device you want to monitor to a power outlet on the 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 PDUs with detachable power cords. If the power cord is not connected, connect the power cord to the PDU. Otherwise, go to Step 3. 3. Route the PDU power cord toward a dedicated power source. 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. NOTE 1 Plug the PDU into an appropriately rated outlet for its type. NOTE 2 Do not replace or rewire the power cord. 4. Connect the power cord to a properly wired and grounded dedicated power source. The PDU turns on and displays the HP startup screen while starting. After five seconds, the sequence of screensaver screens for this PDU model begin cycling. 5. Verify that no alarms display on the LCD. To resolve alarms, see "Maintenance and Alarms" on page 97. 6. Connect your output devices to the outlet outlets on the PDU. Verify that each device is receiving power before connecting the next device. NOTE To avoid large surge currents, connect the protected equipment to the outlets individually rather than as a group. 7. Route all power cords neatly. Use cable ties to secure the cords to the loops on either side of the outlets (see Figure 14). Figure 14. Securing the Cords Using Cable Ties Operating the PDU See "Operation Overview" on page 28 for instructions to operate the PDU, including starting and shutting down the equipment.

with the device.
To connect your devices:
1.
Verify that each circuit breaker is in the On position.
2.
For PDUs with detachable power cords.
If the power cord is not connected, connect the power cord to
the PDU. Otherwise, go to Step 3.
3.
Route the PDU power cord toward a dedicated power source. 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.
4.
Connect the power cord to a properly wired and grounded dedicated power source. The PDU turns on and
displays the HP startup screen while starting. After five seconds, the sequence of screensaver screens for
this PDU model begin cycling.
