How to Install the Panduit EL2P Rack Power Distribution Unit (PDU)

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for qualified personnel to safely install a Panduit EL2P Rack Power Distribution Unit (PDU) into a datacenter rack or cabinet, covering mounting, grounding, and power connection.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

#2 Phillips screwdriver, T10 Torx screwdriver, T20 Torx screwdriver, 2.5mm hex key Allen wrench

Supplies needed:

Ground bonding cable, Cage nuts

  1. Review Safety Information and Prepare the Rack

    Before installation, ensure you are qualified personnel and review all safety precautions in the manual, especially regarding high leakage current and lethal voltages. Ensure the PDU is installed in a temperature and humidity controlled, indoor environment. For vertical PDUs, position the unit to avoid blocking exhaust airflow, maintaining 2-3 inches clearance, and seal unused rack spaces with blanking panels. WARNING: Installation must be performed by individuals knowledgeable about AC power products. Ensure a reliable grounded connection before connecting power.

  2. Mount the PDU in the Rack

    For vertical (0U) PDUs, insert the pre-installed mounting buttons into the keyhole slots on the rack's PDU mounting bracket. Secure with a #2 Phillips screwdriver to 3.0Nm. For horizontal (1U/2U) PDUs, install cage nuts at the desired U location on both front and rear RETMA rails. Screw the mounting bracket ears into the RETMA rail surface. For high power units, also screw the front mounting brackets into the PDU chassis using a 2.5mm hex key Allen wrench.

  3. Ground the PDU

    Connect a ground bonding cable from the external earthing screw on the PDU chassis to a grounding strip, bus bar, or known earthed reference terminal in the building. Ensure conductor sizes meet national or local electrical codes (e.g., 14 AWG for up to 15A, 12 AWG for up to 20A). WARNING: This equipment must be connected to a protective earth ground. For permanently connected PDUs, installation must be performed by a licensed electrician.

  4. Connect the PDU to a Power Source

    Ensure the feed circuit breaker is OFF and all circuit breakers on the PDU are set to ON. Connect the PDU to an appropriately rated, grounded branch circuit, adhering to all local and national electrical codes. Refer to the PDU's compliance label for input ratings. Once connected, turn the feed circuit breaker ON and wait for the operating system to load and the Main Menu to display. WARNING: Connect only to a circuit providing appropriate branch circuit overcurrent protection. Do not overload the PDU. Verify the line voltage matches the PDU's capabilities to prevent severe equipment damage.

  5. (Optional) Rotate or Replace the Network Controller

    If manual rotation or replacement of the network controller is desired, use a T10 Torx screwdriver to remove the two retaining screws. If rotating, carefully disconnect and then reconnect the ribbon cable, ensuring no crimping. If replacing, disconnect the old and connect the new controller's ribbon cable, then mate the new controller to the chassis. Reinstall and torque the screws to 2.2–3.1 lbf-in [0.25–0.35 N-M]. Avoid overtightening. WARNING: If physically rotating the controller, you must disconnect the ribbon cable to prevent damage.
