PDU AND UNIVERSAL PDU
Quick Installation Guide
Installing the rPDU
a.
Using appropriate hardware,
mount the unit to the rack.
b. Plug the PDU into an appropriately
rated and protected branch circuit
receptacle.
WARNING! PDUs supplied with
external ground stud have high
touch current. Earth connection is
essential prior to connecting
supply.
A #8 grounding stud, ring terminal
and nut have been provided on the
face of the device to facilitate
attachment to earth. Reference the
conductor size in the power cord
and PDU rating for appropriate
sizing of the external earth
conductor. Affix the provided ring
terminal to this wire, following
manufacturer's installation
instructions. Place the ring
terminal on the grounding stud
and torque the nut to the
appropriate torque listed in the
table below. Attach the other end
of the conductor to your facility's
earthing system.

Installing the Universal PDU
27 (3.05)
The Universal Power Distribution Units
16.5(1.86)
(UPDU) are equipped with a 7 or 8-wire
27(3.05)
Panel Mount connector. These units are
intended to be mated with a Facility
27(3.05)
Side Cable available for the unit. The
Facility Side Cable connects to a single-
phase AC Mains circuit, a 3-phase WYE
or Delta AC Mains circuit. The Universal
PDUs are provided with IEC C13- and/or
IEC C19-type outlets for connection to
external devices.

1. Using appropriate hardware, mount
the unit to the rack.
2. Plug the Facility Side Cable into the
Universal PDU.
NOTE: It may be necessary to
install a cable support in order to
reduce strain on the Panel Mount
connector.
3. Plug the Facility Side Cable into an
appropriately rated and protected
branch circuit.
4. Plug in the devices to be powered
by the Universal PDU.
NOTE: For devices powered by the
Geist UPDU, sequential power up is
recommended to avoid high inrush
current.
