How to Install and Configure a Panduit G5 PDU

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for physically installing, grounding, connecting to power, and performing initial configuration of a Panduit G5 Power Distribution Unit (PDU) in a datacenter rack.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Phillips screwdriver, Torx screwdriver

Supplies needed:

Mounting hardware (e.g., cage nuts, mounting buttons), Ground bonding cable, Tie wraps (optional for cord retention)

  1. Review Safety Information and Prepare

    Before beginning, thoroughly read all safety information in the PDU manual. Ensure the installation environment is temperature and humidity controlled, free of conductive contaminants. Verify that the feed circuit breaker for the power source is in the OFF position to prevent electric shock. This installation must be performed by individuals knowledgeable about AC power products.

  2. Mount the PDU in the Rack

    For vertical PDUs, install mounting buttons (if using a non-Panduit rack) on the appropriate PDU face or side, then insert the PDU into the keyhole slots of the rack's mounting bracket. For 1U or 2U PDUs, install cage nuts at the desired U location, then screw the PDU's mounting bracket ears into the RETMA rail surface. Use only the hardware provided with the PDU.

  3. Ground the PDU

    Locate the external ground bonding point on the PDU chassis (typically on the outlet surface, or circuit breaker surface for dual-sided models). Connect a ground bonding cable from this point to a known earthed reference terminal in the building or to the rack's grounding strip/bus bar. Ensure the bonding conductor meets the minimum AWG requirements based on the PDU's current rating (e.g., 12 AWG for up to 32A).

  4. Attach Input Cord to Universal Input Connector (if applicable)

    If installing a Universal Input PDU, open the input cord connector latches on the PDU. Insert the facility side input cord plug firmly into the connector. Close the input cord connector latches on the PDU to securely lock the input cord into place. This step must be performed by a skilled person with the facility side connector disconnected.

  5. Connect the PDU to a Power Source

    WARNING: Ensure the feed circuit breaker for the branch circuit is OFF. Verify that all circuit breakers on the PDU itself are set to the ON position. Connect the PDU's input power cord to an appropriately rated, grounded (earthed) branch circuit electrical outlet. Refer to the PDU label for input ratings. Once connected, turn the feed circuit breaker ON. The PDU's OLED screen will display a status bar during startup, then the Main Menu.

  6. Configure Universal Input PDU Input Type (if applicable)

    For Universal Input PDUs, connect to the PDU's Web interface (refer to the User Manual for connection instructions). Navigate to the 'System Management' page under settings. Select 'Set Input Cord' under actions, then choose the correct cord type from the dropdown menu. Select 'Save' to apply the setting; the PDU will reset. Incorrect selection may lead to inaccurate metering.

  7. Secure Connected Power Cords (Optional but Recommended)

    To prevent accidental disconnects, utilize the integrated cord retention feature on most C13 and C19 outlets by sliding a tie wrap into the notch and securing it around the power cord. Alternatively, use optional locking power cords compatible with the PDU's IEC C13 and C19 outlets.
