This unit allows for remote on/off switching of individual outlets, enabling power cycling for troubleshooting or load shedding. It supports input voltages of 120V, 208V, or 230V and can handle a maximum load of 16A or 20A, with a total power capacity of 1.9KW. Its primary function is to provide intelligent power management within server racks, ensuring uptime and operational efficiency for connected equipment.
Compatibility
This PDU is designed for integration into standard 19-inch server racks. While specific model compatibility is broad due to its rack-mount nature, it is intended for use with Vertiv's rack systems and other standard IT infrastructure where controlled power distribution is required. It is suitable for environments utilizing 120V, 208V, or 230V power feeds, common in data centers and enterprise IT closets.
Installation Notes
The VP5U20A3 requires a standard electrical connection appropriate for its rated voltage and amperage (16A or 20A). Installation involves mounting the unit into a 19-inch rack using the provided hardware. Network connectivity is required for remote management features, enabling access to the PDU's web interface for monitoring and control. Ensure the total load on the PDU does not exceed its 1.9KW capacity or the input circuit breaker's rating.
