to the input plug if you wish  
plug adapter  
to plug the PDU into a compatible straight-  
blade outlet.  
2-2  
2-3 Connect the input plug to a compatible AC  
power outlet. If the PDU does not have a circuit  
breaker, it should be provided with a branch-  
rated over-current protection device that  
matches the rated amperage of the PDU.  
Note: The AC power source should not share a circuit with a  
heavy electrical load.  
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.  
3-1  
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 4-1. If you are uncertain which method  
to use, contact your network administrator for assistance before continuing the installation process.  
Dynamic IP Address Assignment  
3-1 Connect PDU to Network: While the PDU is powered, connect a  
A
standard Ethernet patch cable to the RJ-45 Ethernet port on the PDU.  
Note: This port is not compatible with PoE (Power over Ethernet) applications.  
A
The PDU will attempt to obtain an IP address via DHCP. This may take  
as long as several minutes, depending on your network environment.  
3-1  
3-2 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  
4-1  
4-6  
5-1  
and proceed directly to Step  
the IP address, skip Steps  
through  
.
Static IP Address Assignment  
4-1 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.  
4-2 Configure Terminal Emulation Program: Open a VT100-compatible terminal emulation  
®
®
program (such as the HyperTerminal program bundled with Microsoft Windows ) on a computer  
with an available DB9 serial port. (A notebook computer may be the most convenient choice.) Set the  
terminal emulation program to use the COM port that corresponds to the computer’s DB9 serial port.  
Specify the parameters required to communicate with the PDU terminal interface:  
Bits per second:  
Data bits:  
9600  
8
None  
Stop bits:  
Flow control:  
1
None  
Parity:  
If the terminal emulation program supports multiple emulation modes, you may also need to specify VT100 emulation.  
4-3 Connect PDU to Computer: Use the mini-  
DIN to DB9 serial cable (part number 73-1025)  
A
included with the PDU to connect the PDU to  
B
A
the computer. The circular connector at one  
C
end of the cable attaches to the 8-pin mini-DIN  
B
serial port on the PDU. (Align the connector  
D
carefully to avoid damaging the pins.) The DB9  
4-3  
C
connector at the other end of the cable  
D
connects to the computer's serial port  
.
4-4 Connect PDU to Network: While the PDU  
is powered, connect a standard Ethernet patch  
A
A
cable to the RJ-45 Ethernet port on the PDU.
