Chapter 11. Power distribution unit plus
The power distribution unit plus (PDU+) can be installed in the 7014-T00 and 7014-T42 racks. It allows
you to monitor the individual power loads of the devices that are plugged into it.
Installing the PDU+ in the side of a rack
Learn how to install the power distribution unit plus (PDU+) in the side of a rack.
Tip: Removing the rack doors and side panels might make installation easier.
Important: You must use clip nuts to install the mounting brackets. Clip nuts are provided with the
PDU+ and install on the rack-mounting flanges.
To install the PDU+ in the 1U mounting space in the side of a rack, complete the following steps
1. Read the "Rack safety notices" on page 106.
2. Align the vertical-mounting brackets to the front of the PDU+. Make sure that you attach the brackets
so that the power outlets face the rear of the rack.

provided with the PDU+.
4. Align the PDU+ with the opening in the side of the rack. Then, while holding the PDU+ in place,
attach the brackets to the rack-mounting flanges with four clip nuts and four M5 screws that were
provided with the PDU+.
