Before You Begin
1. Prepare the installation site. Make sure the installation
area is clean and not exposed to extreme temperatures or
humidity. Allow sufficient space around the device for
cabling and outlet connections. Safety instructions are
provided in the PXE online help.
2. Fill out the Equipment Setup Worksheet found in the PXE
online help. Record the model, serial number, and use of
each IT device connected to the PDU's power outlets.
QS Rule
Mounting the PDU
Use one of the mounting methods to install your PXE as
appropriate.
Circuit Breaker Orientation Limitation
Usually a PDU can be mounted in any orientation. However,
when mounting a PDU with circuit breakers, you must obey
these rules:

Circuit breakers CANNOT face down. For example, do not
horizontally mount a Zero U PDU with circuit breakers on
the ceiling.

If a rack is subject to shock in environments such as boats
or airplanes, the PDU CANNOT be mounted upside down.
If installed upside down, shock stress reduces the trip
point by 10%.
Note: If normally the line cord is down, upside down
means the line cord is up.
