Chatsworth EA-3013-CE PDU Redundancy Pack

Overview

The Chatsworth EA-3013-CE PDU Redundancy Pack is designed to provide seamless power failover for critical IT equipment. This accessory ensures continuous operation by automatically switching to a secondary power source if the primary source fails. It is essential for environments where downtime is not an option, such as data centers, server rooms, and network closets. The EA-3013-CE facilitates the connection of two separate power sources to a single device with dual power inputs, preventing service interruptions.

Compatibility

This redundancy pack is compatible with any rack-mount Power Distribution Unit (PDU) that features dual power inputs. It is designed to work with standard 1U and 2U PDUs from various manufacturers, provided they have two IEC C13 or C19 (depending on the specific PDU model it connects to) power input receptacles. It is also compatible with servers, network switches, and other IT hardware that have dual power supply units (PSUs).

Installation Notes

Installation involves connecting the two input power cords from separate power sources (e.g., two different PDUs, or a PDU and a UPS) to the EA-3013-CE. The unit then outputs a single, unified power connection to the IT device. Ensure that both input power sources are properly grounded and provide the correct voltage and amperage for the connected equipment. The unit requires no external power to operate and is a passive device.
