Raritan Dominion PX-2000 PX2-2162R 8-Outlets 1.4kVA PDU

Power distribution is the backbone of reliable data center operations, and the Raritan Dominion PX-2000 PX2-2162R PDU delivers enterprise-grade visibility, control, and resilience where it matters most. Featuring 8 individually switchable outlets and a robust 1.4 kVA capacity, this unit is designed for high-availability environments that demand precise management of critical devices. The PX-2000 series blends flexible mounting options—Zero U vertical or 1U horizontal—with a wide range of plug configurations (NEMA, IEC, and other receptacles), including models that support high-voltage 400V distribution. With per-outlet switching, advanced remote monitoring, and scalable management capabilities, the PX-2000 helps data centers optimize energy use, reduce downtime, and simplify rack power infrastructure across growing deployments. The PX2-2162R configuration is purpose-built for racks requiring efficient space utilization without compromising performance or control.

• Flexible mounting options: Choose Zero U vertical or 1U horizontal installation to maximize rack space, improve cable management, and ensure easy access to outlets and indicators in tight rack layouts. This versatility supports a wide range of cabinet designs and data-center deployments, enabling smooth integration with existing racks and future scalability.
• 8 individually switchable outlets: Each outlet can be controlled independently, enabling granular power management. Power off nonessential devices during maintenance windows, isolate failed equipment, and perform targeted restarts without disrupting the entire power strip. Per-outlet control also helps reduce energy waste and extends equipment life by eliminating phantom loads where appropriate.
• High power distribution with diverse receptacles: The PX-2000 series is designed to accommodate diverse plug types, including NEMA and IEC configurations, with options that support high-power distribution up to 400V. This makes it suitable for modern data-center hardware, high-density racks, and equipment that demands robust, scalable electrical provisioning.
• Advanced remote monitoring and management: Monitor voltage, current, and load on individual outlets through secure network access. Benefit from real-time metering, event logging, and alerting that integrates with standard management systems, helping operators optimize capacity planning, prevent overloads, and respond quickly to outages or anomalies.
• Enterprise-grade reliability and security: Built to support continuous operation in mission-critical environments, the PX-2000 combines rugged hardware with features such as surge protection, reliability engineering, and compatibility with common IT management platforms to streamline deployment, monitoring, and compliance.

How to Install Raritan Dominion PX-2000

Installing the PX-2000 PDU in your rack involves selecting the appropriate orientation, securing the unit, and configuring the network management settings to enable remote access and monitoring. Follow these practical steps to ensure a smooth setup that maximizes reliability and control:

• Step 1 — Prepare the rack and select mounting orientation: Decide between Zero U vertical or 1U horizontal installation based on your rack depth, door clearance, and cable routing needs. Verify that the chosen position provides convenient access to outlets and indicators while maintaining proper airflow and cable management.
• Step 2 — Secure the PDU to the rack: Use the supplied mounting hardware to mount the PX-2000 securely. Confirm that screws engage with the rack rails and that the PDU sits firmly without wobble, reducing vibration and wear during operation and maintenance.
• Step 3 — Connect input power and required outlets: Connect the PDU to a suitable power source according to the model’s voltage and amperage ratings. Attach devices to the eight outlets, paying attention to load balance and ensuring critical equipment remains reachable during power cycling operations.
• Step 4 — Establish network connectivity and management configuration: Connect the PDU to your network using the available Ethernet port and configure IP addressing (static or DHCP as appropriate). Enable remote management features, set up authentication, and define per-outlet access controls and alerts to reflect your organization’s security and operational policies.
• Step 5 — Enable monitoring, metering, and testing: Verify that per-outlet metering reports current and voltage accurately, and test individual outlet switching by powering connected devices on and off as required. Check event logs and alert mechanisms to ensure notifications are functioning correctly, and validate that load data populates your preferred management dashboards.
• Step 6 — Documentation and future-proofing: Record the configuration details, outlet assignments, and management settings for future reference and audits. If your data center grows, plan for expansion by preserving compatibility with existing monitoring tools and ensuring room for higher-density deployments.
