Vertiv 27986 Metered PDU
Overview
The Vertiv 27986 is a 1U rackmount power distribution unit (PDU) designed for basic power monitoring in IT environments. It provides 20A of power at 120V, distributed through multiple outlets. This unit is ideal for standard server racks and network closets where visibility into power consumption at the rack level is required to prevent overloads and manage capacity. Its metered functionality allows for real-time monitoring of current draw per PDU, aiding in capacity planning and troubleshooting.
Compatibility
This PDU is designed for standard 19-inch rack enclosures. It accepts a single 120V input and distributes power through its outlets. It is compatible with any standard rack-mount server, network switch, or other IT equipment requiring 120V power, provided the total load does not exceed the 20A rating. It is not designed for high-density computing or specialized power requirements beyond its stated specifications.
Installation Notes
The unit requires a standard NEMA 5-20P wall receptacle for its 120V, 20A input. Ensure the circuit feeding the receptacle is rated for at least 20A and is dedicated or has sufficient capacity for the PDU and its connected equipment. The 1U form factor allows for easy mounting in any standard server rack. Verify that the total current draw of all connected devices does not exceed the PDU's 20A capacity to avoid tripping breakers or damaging equipment.
