2-5Connect your equipment's input plugs
Ato the outlets B of the PDU. The LED C near each outlet (Switched Models Only) illuminates when the outlet is ready to distribute live AC power. The digital load meter D displays the total connected equipment load in amps. (Select models provide additional load data. See the Features section for more information.)
Note: In order to minimize interference among connected devices, connect each device to the nearest PDU outlet and coil excess power cord length.
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.
If your network's DHCP server will assign a dynamic IP address to the PDU automatically, go to Step 3-1 . 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
3-1Connect PDU to Network: While the PDU is powered, connect a standard Ethernet patch cable to the RJ-45 Ethernet port A on 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.
3-2Discover 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 4-1through 4-6and proceed directly to Step 
Static IP Address Assignment
4-1Determine 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.
