• Per-outlet control and remote power management: The LX interface enables granular control over individual outlets, empowering you to reboot devices remotely, implement outlet-tiered policies, and reduce mean time to repair without on-site visits. Create groups, assign schedules, and apply wake-on-power-down routines to keep critical gear online while preserving energy efficiency. Real-time alerts and event logs help you detect anomalous power draw, identify failing components, and respond swiftly to outages or faults.
• High-density 0U footprint for maximum rack utilization: The compact 0U form factor minimizes vertical space usage while maintaining front-access outlets and cable management. This design supports dense rack configurations, improves airflow, and simplifies cable routing, so you can consolidate equipment without sacrificing cooling or serviceability. The slim profile makes it ideal for top-of-rack deployments, edge deployments, and instrument clusters where every inch of rack space counts.
• Extensive outlet configuration for versatile workloads: With 20 C13 outlets and 4 C19 outlets configured for 208/230V operation, this PDU accommodates a broad mix of devices—from servers and storage to switches, appliances, and auxiliary hardware. The diverse outlet mix supports varied power requirements within a single rack, enabling organized, scalable power distribution that aligns with your topology and cable management strategy.
• Rugged, compliant design tailored to enterprise and government needs: Built for demanding environments, the PDU features a durable construction and is TAA-compliant, meeting procurement standards for government and enterprise projects. The robust design withstands frequent reboots, rack movement, and continuous load cycling, delivering dependable power delivery across long service lifetimes and complex rack ecosystems.
• Integrated LX management for proactive DCIM integration: The LX interface provides real-time monitoring, outlet-level status, and secure remote control, making it easy to integrate with data center infrastructure management (DCIM) tools and IT operations workflows. With energy-usage metrics, alerting, and programmable control, you gain comprehensive visibility into power distribution and can automate preventive maintenance across multiple PDUs and racks.

how to install Eaton 5.5kW Single-Phase Switched PDU

• Plan the installation by confirming the rack location, ensuring there is adequate clearance for ventilation and access to all outlets. Review electrical safety requirements and local codes before proceeding.
• Mount the PDU in the rack using the provided hardware. Ensure a secure, level installation and confirm that all cable openings are unobstructed to promote proper airflow around the unit.
• Connect the L6-30P inlet to a dedicated 208/230V circuit with appropriate overcurrent protection. Verify that the circuit is sized for the 5.5 kW load and that wiring adheres to electrical codes and standards.
• Route and connect IT equipment to the 20 C13 outlets and 4 C19 outlets, balancing load across outlets and devices to prevent overloading a single circuit. Use proper cable management to minimize strain on connectors and improve airflow.
• Configure the LX management interface: connect an Ethernet cable to your network, access the LX UI, and set up authentication, outlet groups, power policies, schedules, and alert thresholds. Validate that each outlet responds to remote commands and that monitoring data is accurately reported to your DCIM or monitoring tools.
• Test and document: power on the PDU, run a controlled power cycle on selected outlets, and confirm all devices regain normal operation. Record configuration details and save backups of your settings for disaster recovery or future upgrades.
