rackmount PDU

A rackmount PDU (Power Distribution Unit) is a device that provides power distribution and management for equipment in a server rack or data center. Key features of rackmount PDUs include:

horizontal and Vertical rackmount pdu

When selecting the appropriate mounting option for an rack mountable PDU, it is crucial to consider the specific requirements of the data center space and the IT equipment being powered. Factors such as the number of devices, power consumption, and available rack space should be carefully evaluated.
In a scenario where rack space is limited, horizontal rack mount PDUs may be the preferred choice as they do not consume additional vertical space. However, if the priority is to maximize the number of outlets available while minimizing the impact on rack space, vertical power distribution units offer a more efficient solution.

Simplifying the setup process with a Basic Rack PDU from YOSUN:
– Constructed from lightweight aluminum for straightforward installation.
– Features tool-free mounting buttons for pre-installation convenience.
– Offers versatile mounting options, allowing selection between 0U or 1U/2U configurations.
– The compact design ensures no obstruction in the rail space.

horizontal rack mount pdu: Efficient Use of Rack Space

Horizontal mount rPDUs are installed inside the rack, occupying valuable rack space typically measured in U (1U = 1.75 inches or 44.45 mm). These PDUs are commonly available in 1U or 2U sizes and offer 8 to 16 outlets, providing power to multiple devices simultaneously. While horizontal mounting ensures that the rPDU is out of sight and easily accessible, it is important to consider the impact on rack space utilization. Each horizontal rack mount PDU will consume a portion of the available rack space, potentially limiting the number of equipment that can be installed in the same enclosure.

Vertical rackmount PDU: Maximizing Outlet Density

Vertical mount rPDUs are installed at the back or side of the rack enclosure, allowing them to be positioned without taking up critical equipment mounting space. These PDUs can hold up to 54 outlets, making them ideal for high-density environments where a large number of devices need to be powered. By utilizing the vertical space within the rack, vertical rackmount PDUs optimize outlet density and minimize the footprint required for power distribution.

How to choose the Rackmount PDU for data center at YOSUN

When selecting or customing a Rack Mount Power Distribution Unit (PDU), it is essential to address the following fundamental questions to ensure you make an informed decision:
1. Determine the Type and Quantity of Output Sockets
Identify the specific types of output sockets you require based on your equipment and devices. Additionally, assess how many sockets you will need to accommodate all your devices effectively.
2. Estimate the Power Distribution Capacity
Evaluate the total power requirements of your equipment to estimate the necessary distribution capacity of the PDU. This estimation will help ensure that the PDU can handle the load without risk of overload. Look for models that include surge protection to safeguard your equipment from voltage spikes.
3. Identify the Input Socket Type
Determine the type of input socket that will be compatible with your existing power supply infrastructure. This is crucial for ensuring that the PDU can be connected seamlessly to your power source.
4. Choose Visualization and Control Options for Branch Circuits
Consider whether you need visualization features, such as monitoring power usage or load balancing, and what control options are available for managing branch circuits. These features can enhance efficiency and provide better oversight of your power distribution.
5. Select an Aesthetic Mounting Option
Finally, decide on a mounting style that matches your aesthetic preferences and installation requirements. Whether you mount vertically or horizontally, YOSUN’s many attractive options can help you achieve a more organized and professional setup. Flexible mounting options allows you to choose your preferred mounting method between 0U or 1U/2U

Steps to Install a Rack Mount PDU

1.Mounting the Rackmount PDU

Option A: Toolless Mounting: If your PDU supports toolless mounting, insert the provided pegs into the rack’s vertical rails.
Option B: Bracket Mounting: Attach the L-brackets to the PDU using screws provided in the installation kit. Align the brackets with the mounting holes in the rack and secure them with screws.

2.Positioning

Slide the PDU into position within the rack, ensuring that outlets face towards the rear for easy access.

3.Securing the PDU

Use screws to firmly attach the PDU to the rack's vertical rails or brackets. Ensure it is stable and does not wobble.

4.Grounding

Connect a grounding wire from the PDU to a suitable ground point on the rack. This typically involves attaching a ring terminal to a grounding screw on the PDU and securing it with a star washer for better conductivity.

5.Power Connection

Connect the PDU power cord to an AC power source. Make sure all connections are secure and that there are no loose wires.

6.Final Checks

Double-check all connections, ensure that all screws are tightened, and verify that there are no obstructions around the PDU for airflow.
