How to Install and Connect a Panduit EL2P PDU
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing, grounding, and connecting a Panduit EL2P Rack Power Distribution Unit (PDU) into a datacenter rack or cabinet. It covers both vertical and horizontal PDU mounting options.
Estimated time: 1h
Tools needed:
#2 Phillips screwdriver, T10 Torx screwdriver, 2.5mm hex key Allen wrench
Supplies needed:
Cage nuts (for horizontal PDU mounting), Ground bonding cable
- Prepare for Installation and Observe Safety Precautions
Before beginning, ensure you are qualified personnel and have read all instructions. Verify that the PDU is intended for Information Technology Equipment (ITE) loads. To reduce the risk of electric shock, ensure a reliable grounded connection before connecting to AC power. Connect only to a circuit with appropriate overcurrent protection. Ensure all circuit breakers are in the off position before connecting input power. Verify connected devices are compatible with the PDU's line voltage. Do not overload the PDU. Install in a temperature and humidity controlled, indoor environment. Allow sufficient cooling time before handling after operation. DANGER: This PDU contains LETHAL VOLTAGES. NO user-serviceable parts inside except for network management card replacement. TO ISOLATE THIS EQUIPMENT, DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD.
- Mount the PDU in the Rack
Determine if you are installing a Vertical (0U) or Horizontal (1U/2U) PDU. For Vertical PDUs: Insert the pre-installed mounting buttons into the keyhole slots on the rack's PDU mounting bracket. Secure them using a #2 Phillips screwdriver to a recommended torque of 3.0Nm. Ensure outlets face the center of the rack for single or multiple installations. For Horizontal PDUs: Install cage nuts at the desired U location on the RETMA rails. Screw the PDU's mounting bracket ears into the RETMA rail surface. For high power 1U/2U PDUs, install cage nuts on both front and rear rails, then screw front and rear mounting bracket ears into place. Secure front mounting brackets to the PDU chassis using a 2.5mm hex key Allen wrench. If needed, remove the 4 screws holding each mounting ear, rotate the bracket 180°, and re-fasten the screws to adjust orientation.
- Ground the PDU
Connect a ground bonding cable to the external ground bonding point on the PDU chassis. This point is typically found on the surface with the outlets. Bond the PDU to a known earthed reference terminal in the building or to the rack's grounding strip/bus bar. Ensure conductor sizes meet National or Local Electrical Codes (e.g., 14 AWG for up to 15A, 12 AWG for up to 20A).
- Connect the PDU to a Power Source
WARNING: Ensure the feed circuit breaker for the power source is in the OFF position. Verify that all circuit breakers on the PDU are set to ON. Connect the PDU's input power cord to an appropriately rated branch circuit, adhering to all local and national electrical codes. Refer to the compliance label on the PDU for input ratings. Once connected, turn the feed circuit breaker ON. Wait for the operating system to load; the Main Menu will display on the screen.
- Rotate the Network Controller (Optional)
If you prefer a specific orientation for the physical ports, use a T10 Torx screwdriver to remove the two screws holding the network controller. Carefully disconnect the ribbon cable to prevent damage. Rotate the controller to the desired orientation, then carefully reconnect the ribbon cable, ensuring no crimping or pinching. Re-install the two screws and torque them to a range of 2.2–3.1 lbf-in [0.25–0.35 N-M]. NOTE: Overtightening may cause metal deformation.
- Configure Dual Rated PDUs (Optional)
If you are installing a dual-rated PDU, an additional Command Line Interface (CLI) configuration step is required to enable the Web interface to report the correct power capacity. Refer to the 'CLI Commands' section in the PDU User Manual for detailed instructions on this configuration.
