Connecting the Protected Equipment

CAUTION:

For PLUGGABLE EQUIPMENT, the power outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be readily

accessible.

CAUTION:

The rPDU output receptacles for each phase are protected by two 20A circuit breakers on the front panel.

Confirm that the equipment connected to the rPDU does not exceed the rPDU's capacity.

NOTE:

The DELLM0003 model does not have circuit breakers.

To install the plug-receptacles:

1

Plug the equipment power cords into the rPDU outlet receptacles.

2

If an optional strain relief bracket is installed, attach the power cords to the bracket by looping the cords
and securing them with tie wraps.

NOTE:

Secure the power cords in the bracket so you can unplug them without removing the tie wrap.

3

Plug the rPDU power cord into a power outlet.

4

Ensure that each circuit breaker is in the ON position.

NOTE:

If power to the rPDU is interrupted, check each circuit breaker and reset if necessary.

Starting the rPDU

To start the rPDU:

1

Plug the rPDU power cord into the power outlet.

2

Turn each circuit breaker to the ON position.

3

If power to the rPDU is interrupted, check each circuit breaker and reset if necessary.

NOTE:

During startup, the Dell Startup screen displays for five seconds and then defaults to the Input Status screen.

Shutting Down the rPDU

NOTE:

The protected equipment may be turned off at the equipment or, for models with circuit breakers, at the circuit

breakers on the rPDU.

To shut down the rPDU:

1

Shut down the protected equipment according to the manufacturer's recommended shutdown sequence.

2

Models with circuit breakers only. Turn each circuit breaker to the OFF position.

3

To remove power from the rPDU completely, disconnect the rPDU input connector at the source.
