Chatsworth EA-3257-E Monitored Econnect PDU
Overview
The Chatsworth EA-3257-E is a 1U horizontal rackmount power distribution unit (PDU) designed for data center and network closet environments. It provides monitored power distribution with an IEC 32A 1-phase plus neutral and ground input, ensuring reliable power delivery to IT equipment. The locking IEC outlets prevent accidental disconnection, a critical feature for maintaining uptime in high-density racks. This unit is essential for managing power consumption and ensuring equipment stability within your infrastructure. The EA-3257-E model specifically addresses the need for secure, monitored power in standard 19-inch rack configurations.
Compatibility
This PDU is designed for integration into standard 19-inch server racks. Its IEC 32A 1P+N+E input connector is compatible with standard IEC power cords and facility power distribution systems. The locking IEC outlets are designed to mate with standard IEC power cords, preventing them from being pulled out inadvertently. It is suitable for use with a wide range of IT equipment, including servers, switches, and storage devices, that utilize IEC power inlets.
Installation Notes
Installation requires mounting into a standard 19-inch rack using the provided hardware. Ensure the rack is properly grounded. The IEC 32A input connector must be connected to a suitable power source with appropriate circuit protection. Verify that the total load does not exceed the PDU's rated capacity or the circuit breaker's rating. The locking outlets require compatible locking IEC power cords to achieve their secure connection benefit.
