How to Install a Panduit EL2P Rack Power Distribution Unit (PDU)
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for qualified personnel to install a Panduit EL2P Rack Power Distribution Unit (PDU) into a datacenter rack or cabinet, covering mounting, grounding, and power connection.
Tools needed:
#2 Phillips screwdriver, T10 Torx screwdriver, T20 Torx screwdriver, 2.5mm hex key Allen wrench
Supplies needed:
Mounting hardware (e.g., cage nuts, screws), Ground bonding cable (or bonding jumper kit)
- Prepare for Installation and Mount the PDU
Ensure the PDU is positioned to avoid blocking exhaust airflow pathways of adjacent IT equipment. Maintain a minimum clearance of 2 to 3 inches between the PDU chassis and cabinet frame. Seal unused rack spaces with blanking panels to promote proper airflow. For vertical PDUs, insert the pre-installed or repositioned mounting buttons into the keyhole slots on the PDU mounting bracket in the rack. Secure them using a #2 Phillips screwdriver to a recommended torque of 3.0Nm. For horizontal PDUs, install cage nuts at the desired U location on the front and/or rear RETMA rails. Attach the PDU mounting bracket ears to the RETMA rail surface using screws. If applicable for high-power units, secure the front mounting brackets to the PDU chassis using a 2.5mm hex key Allen wrench and tighten the socket head screws.
- Ground the PDU
This installation must be performed by qualified personnel. Conductor sizes for bonding shall meet National or Local Electrical Codes (e.g., NEC Table 250.122). Connect a ground bonding cable from the external ground bonding point on the PDU chassis (typically near the outlets) to a grounding strip, grounding bus bar, or a known earthed reference terminal in the building. Use the external earthing screw with a star washer for supplementary Earth bonding to the rack metalwork.
- Connect the PDU to a Power Source
All connections must be made by qualified personnel and adhere to local and national electrical codes. Connect only to a circuit providing appropriate branch circuit overcurrent protection. Ensure a reliable grounded (earthed) connection before connecting to AC power. Turn OFF the feed circuit breaker for the power source. Verify that all circuit breakers on the PDU are set to the ON position. Connect the PDU's input power cord to an appropriately rated branch circuit, ensuring the power cord has sufficient length to reach the power source. Turn ON the feed circuit breaker. Wait for the PDU's operating system to load; the Main Menu will display on the screen upon completion.
- Rotate or Replace the Network Controller (Optional)
If physically rotating the controller, disconnect the ribbon cable to prevent damage. Using a T10 Torx screwdriver, remove the two screws holding the network controller. Note that screws are retained by washers. Carefully rotate the controller to the desired orientation or replace it with a new one. If rotating, disconnect and then carefully reconnect the ribbon cable, paying attention to orientation and avoiding crimping. If replacing, disconnect the existing ribbon cable from the old controller, then connect it to the new controller and carefully mate the new controller to the PDU chassis, ensuring the ribbon cable is not pinched or damaged. Reinstall the two screws using a T10 Torx screwdriver and torque them to 2.2–3.1 lbf-in [0.25–0.35 N-M]. Avoid overtightening to prevent metal deformation.
- Configure Dual Rated PDUs (If Applicable)
For dual-rated PDUs, perform an additional Command Line Interface (CLI) configuration step to enable the Web interface to report the correct power capacity. Refer to the User Manual for specific CLI commands.
