2. Installation
2.2E
Connect Equipment to PDU: Do not exceed the load rating of the PDU. The total
electrical current used by the PDU will be displayed on the digital meter in amperes. Each outlet
includes a green LED that illuminates when the outlet is receiving AC power.
2.2E
2.3 Networking the PDU
Note: The MAC address of the PDU (a 12-digit string in this format: 000667xxxxxx) is printed on a label attached
to the PDU enclosure. The MAC address is also printed on a label attached to the internal network card.
If your network's DHCP server will assign a dynamic IP address to the PDU automatically, go to
Step
. If you will assign a static IP address to the PDU manually, go to Step
2.4A
uncertain which method to use, contact your network administrator for assistance before
continuing the installation process.
2.4 Dynamic IP Address Assignment
2.4A
Connect PDU to Network: While the
PDU is powered, connect a standard Ethernet
patch cable to the RJ-45 Ethernet port
the PDU. Note: This port is not compatible with
PoE (Power over Ethernet) applications. The
PDU will attempt to obtain an IP address via
DHCP . This may take as long as several
minutes, depending on your network
environment.
2.4B
Discover IP Address: Contact your network administrator to determine which dynamic IP
address has been assigned to the PDU by the DHCP server. The PDU can be identified on the
DHCP server by referring to its MAC address. (The MAC address is a 12-digit string in this format:
000667xxxxxx. Refer to the MAC address label attached to the PDU.) You may wish to request a
long-term lease period for the IP address, depending on your application. After you have discovered
the IP address, skip Steps
2.5 Static IP Address Assignment
2.5A
Determine IP Information: Before assigning a static IP address, you'll need to know the
IP address, gateway address and subnet mask. If you do not have this information, contact your
network administrator for assistance.
