Page 7: Introduction
Introduction The Dell t Metered Rack Power Distribution Unit (rPDU) models are installed at the rear in a rack enclosure. The rack enclosure is designed to hold and protect server, network, and data storage equipment. The rPDUs distribute power in the rack. - Page 8 Providing outstanding performance and reliability, the rPDU benefits include the following: S The rPDU can be installed as either 42U or 48U applications (depending on the model). S The rPDU can be mounted using either factory-installed standard mounting pegs on the back of the rPDU, or turned 90°...

Page 9: Physical Description
Physical Description Installation Configurations The rPDUs can be mounted vertically in several installation configurations and orientations to accommodate different site needs. Either one or two rPDUs can be installed in each rPDU tray in the back of a rack enclosure, providing a total of up to four rPDUs (see Figure 2). -
Page 10: Strain Relief Brackets
rPDU installed using standard mounting pegs on the back (180°) rPDU installed using deep mounting pegs on the side (90°) Figure 3. Standard 180° and 90° rPDU Installation Strain Relief Brackets You can install optional strain relief brackets on any rPDU model. Models with dense receptacle configurations on the front panel have mounting holes for side-mounted relief brackets only. -
Page 11: Attached Input Connections
Attached Input Connections All models use an IEC60309 input connector plug on a 3m (10 ft) cable attached to the rPDU. The type of input connector plug varies by model to accommodate different amperage ratings and Delta or Wye configurations. The input connector plugs have Ingress Protection (IP) ratings that specify the degree of environmental protection for electrical equipment. -

Unpacking the cabinet in a low-temperature environment may cause condensation to occur in and on the rPDU. -
Page 16: Inspecting The Equipment
Place the rPDU in a protected area that has adequate airflow and is free of humidity, flammable gas, and corrosion. Discard or recycle the packaging in a responsible manner, or store it for future use. Inspecting the Equipment If any equipment has been damaged during shipment, keep the shipping cartons and packing materials for the carrier or place of purchase and file a claim for shipping damage. -
Page 17: Preparing For Installation
Preparing for Installation Before installing the rPDUs in a rack enclosure, consider location and orientation. For most installations, the selected location and orientation depends on the number of rPDUs that will be installed and the cable management plan. For example, suppose you plan to separate data and power cables on opposite sides of the rack enclosure. For this configuration, install one or two rPDUs in the same tray. -
Page 18: Installing Deep Mounting Pegs
NOTE: Dell recommends removing the standard mounting pegs on the rear of the rPDU if you install the deep mounting pegs (provided in the accessory kit shipped with the rPDU). Retain the standard mounting pegs so the rPDU can be reoriented later if needed. -
Page 19: Installing The Rpdu In The Rack Enclosure
