How to Install the Rack PDU

Mounting options

You can use choose three different options for
mounting your PDU in an enclosure, depending on
your preferences and the type of enclosure. All
options require that you first attach mounting
brackets to the PDU.

• Vertical mounting

For any standard 19-inch rack, you can
attach the brackets to the enclosure using
the screws provided.

For a NetShelter VX enclosure (AR2100
series), you can mount the brackets to the
enclosure by snapping them into place
(toolless mounting).

• Horizontal mounting: For any NetShelter

enclosure, you can mount the brackets to the
enclosure using the screws provided.
Horizontal mounting uses 1 U-space.

Attaching brackets to the PDU

PDU in the enclosure. (See the figures on the
following pages.)

•  for 19-inch vertical mounting

3. Attach the brackets to the unit using four

flat-head Phillips screws (provided) for each
bracket.
