2.3PDU Installation
2.3.1Mechanical Attachment of PDU
Warning: Never install the Power Distribution Unit in a wet location or during a lightning storm. When installing or modifying communication lines, disconnect lines at the interface before working with uninsulated lines or terminals to prevent electrical shock.
The PDU should be mounted in accordance with local code using appropriate hardware. The PDU has two mounting holes on either side, as shown in Figure 4. Below are guidelines for standard wall mount, masonry wall mount, and rack mount of the PDU.
Figure 4. Example of PDU Standard Wall Mount
2.3.1.1Standard Wall Mount
When mounting the PDU on a wooden or metal surface, it is recommended that it be installed on a secure surface.
2.3.1.2Masonry Wall Mount
When mounting the PDU on a masonry surface, it is important that the bolts (especially the upper bolts) be located as close as possible to the center of bricks or blocks. Masonry mounting screws are not provided.
