How to Install and Configure Panduit G5 Power Distribution Units (PDUs)

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing, grounding, connecting, and initially configuring Panduit G5 Metered, Switched, and Metered & Switched Power Distribution Units (PDUs) in a datacenter rack.

Estimated time: 1h 30m

Tools needed:

Phillips screwdriver, Torx screwdriver, USB Drive

Supplies needed:

Mounting buttons, Tie wraps, Cage nuts, Ground bonding cable, Star washer

  1. Review Safety Information and Gather Tools

    Before beginning, read all safety information provided in the manual. Ensure you have a reliable grounded (earthed) connection before connecting power distribution products to AC power. Be aware of high leakage currents and lethal voltages. Gather all required tools: Phillips screwdriver, Torx screwdriver, and a USB drive (for firmware upgrades if needed).

  2. Mount the PDU in the Rack

    For vertical PDUs, align and install the mounting buttons with the screw holes on the PDU's face opposite the outlets (for outlets facing the center of the rack) or on the sides (for outlets facing the back or front of the rack). Insert the mounting buttons into the keyhole slots on the PDU mounting bracket in the rack. For 1U or 2U PDUs, install cage nuts at the desired U location in the rack, then screw the mounting bracket ears into the RETMA rail surface at that U location.

  3. Ground the PDU

    Connect a ground bonding cable to the external ground bonding point located on the PDU chassis. Use the provided star washer. Bond the PDU to a known earthed reference terminal in the building or to a grounding strip/bus bar in the rack. Ensure the primary Safety Earth Bond connection, integral to the branch circuit cabling and plug, is also secure.

  4. Attach Input Cord to Universal Input Connector (Universal Input PDUs Only)

    If installing a Universal Input PDU, ensure the facility side connector is disconnected. Open the input cord connector latches on the PDU, insert the input cord plug, and then close the latches to lock the input cord into the connector. This step must be performed by a skilled person.

  5. Connect the PDU to a Power Source

    WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, ensure all circuit breakers are in the off position before connecting input power. Turn the feed circuit breaker Off. Verify that all circuit breakers on the PDU are set to On. Connect each PDU to an appropriately rated branch circuit, referring to the label on the PDU for input ratings. Turn the feed circuit breaker On. The OLED screen (if present) will display a status bar during loading, then the Main Menu. Switched and Monitored & Switched PDUs will show a light for each outlet as it powers up.

  6. Configure Universal Input PDU Input Type (Universal Input PDUs Only)

    If you have a Universal Input PDU, connect to its Web interface (refer to the User Manual for instructions). Navigate to the 'System Management' page under settings. Select 'Set Input Cord' under actions, then choose the correct cord type from the pull-down menu based on your cord's part number. Select 'Save' and allow the PDU to reset. WARNING: Selecting the incorrect input cord may lead to inaccurate metering and an incorrect power rating display.
