    Before you begin Overview This document provides installation and configuration instructions for installing a Hewlett Packard Enterprise G2 Series Metered, Switched, and Metered & Switched Power Distribution Units into a data center rack. Read all instructions before operating the equipment and save this document for future reference. Important safety information See the complete regulatory compliance notices in Safety and Compliance Information for Server, Storage, Power, Networking, and Rack Products on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.
  • Page 8 WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and damage to the equipment: • HIGH LEAKAGE CURRENT. To reduce the risk of electric shock due to high leakage currents, make sure that there is a reliable grounded (earthed) connection before connecting power distribution products to AC power.

  • Page 9: Introduction

    Introduction Classification overview The Hewlett Packard Enterprise G2 Series Metered, Switched, and Metered & Switched Power Distribution Units are intelligent PDUs designed to distribute power to IT equipment installed in a rack. These PDUs are either single-phase (1Ph) or three-phase (3Ph) models with electrical metering and switching capabilities. Each PDU provides power distribution to IT loads through C13, C19, or NEMA 5-20R outlets.
