Be sure all circuit breakers are in the off position before connecting input power. Be sure that the devices connected to the Panduit PDU are adjusted for, or otherwise capable of, operation from the same line voltage supplying the PDU. Failure to verify the voltage can lead to severe equipment damage.
Web interface, or a Command Line Interface (CLI), and viewed from the local display. Panduit PDUs are designed for use with all Panduit cabinets and are compatible with most third-party data center racks. The PDU models vary in form factor with several mounting configurations available.
Features The Panduit Monitored, Switched, Monitored per Outlet, and Monitored & Switched PDUs provide the following features: Lower profile on Vertical PDUs – enhances serviceability area in the back of the rack. Multiple mounting options on Vertical PDUs – can be mounted with outlets facing in toward center of rack, back or front of rack.
2U PDUs can be installed in a U position in the rack. Load Segment and Phase Distinction Panduit G5 PDUs have colored receptacles to help distinguish between the different load segments and phases. All Panduit three phase PDUs have different colored receptacles (white, light gray, and dark gray) to distinguish the different phases.

There is one exception to the different colored receptacles per load segment. The three phase half-height high density model has two different load segments on each phase as shown in the illustration below. Three Phase Half-Height High Density PDU Example SMARTZONE G5 INSTALLATION MANUAL...
1. Plug in the power cord. 2. Using the tie wraps provided, slide the end of the tie wrap into the notch on the PDU next to the desired outlet and wrap around the cord. 3. Secure the tie wrap. SMARTZONE G5 INSTALLATION MANUAL...
Optional locking power cords can be used on each IEC C13 (Image A) and C19 (Image B) outlet on the PDUs. Several lengths are available to support any configuration. The image below shows the locking power cord engaged with the outlets. SMARTZONE G5 INSTALLATION MANUAL...
Each vertical PDU has two different mounting hole locations on the sides and back of the PDU for the button installation to assist with mounting in a non-Panduit racks. When installing the mounting buttons, use either mounting holes as a set.
For two full-height (in a 42U/45U/48U rack), two mid-height (in a 42U/45U/48U rack), or four half-height (in a 42U/45U/48U rack) vertical units to be mounted on one side of the rack, all units must be installed with the outlets facing in towards the center of the rack.

High Density PDU Installation This unique form factor comes in both full-height (A) and half-height (B) models and can only be installed on the sides of the PDU with the outlets facing the back of the rack. SMARTZONE G5 INSTALLATION MANUAL...
NOTE: One full-height can be installed per side of rack whereas two half-height models per side (one on the top and the other on the bottom). 1U PDUs Mounting Options This unit can be installed in any 1U location of the rack. SMARTZONE G5 INSTALLATION MANUAL...
1U PDU mounting in a U position of the rack 1. Install the cage nuts at the desired U location. 2. Screw the mounting bracket ears into the RETMA rail surface at the U location where the cage nuts were installed. SMARTZONE G5 INSTALLATION MANUAL...
2U PDUs Mounting Options This unit can be installed in any U locations of the rack. Mounting Hardware Installation 1. Install cage nuts at the desired U locations. 2. Install the PDU. SMARTZONE G5 INSTALLATION MANUAL...
The ground bounding point is located on the surface with the receptacles on all PDUs except for the high-density models. These models have the ground bounding point on the surface with the circuit breakers. SMARTZONE G5 INSTALLATION MANUAL...
4. Turn the feed circuit breaker On. The OLED screen will display a status bar when the PDU operating system is loading. When complete, the Main Menu will display on the OLED screen. Switched and Monitored & Switched PDUs show a light corresponding to each outlet as it is powered up. SMARTZONE G5 INSTALLATION MANUAL...
