  • Page 9: How To Mount A Pdu Horizontally (19 Inch)

    How to mount a PDU horizontally (19 inch)? Each 19’’ rack bracket of a PDU has 4 holes for horizontal mounting in 19” racks. The holes are positioned so that an appropriate fixing hole is always available for a PDU with a profile height of 1.5 U.

  • Page 10: How To Mount A Pdu Vertically (= 0U)

    Toolless Mounts ‘Toolless Mounts’ are attachment points on the rear of the profile that allow the PDU to be hung in the cabinet without using tools. Toolless Mounting can be done as single PDU or double PDUs. In case of 2 parallel PDUs the overlapping brackets must be joined together using self-cutting screws in smaller holes on the standard bracket.
