VERTICAL MPH2 RACK PDU MOUNTING
A vertical MPH2 rack PDU may be mounted
by using either the supplied in-line brackets
or the supplied mounting buttons.
Determine which mounting method best
suits your rack and install the necessary
hardware in the rack. The rack PDU may be
mounted so that its input power cord exits
at either the top or bottom of the rack.
In-line bracket installation
Install the brackets by inserting the legs of
each bracket into the slots on each end of
the rack PDU.
Insert two of the supplied spring nuts into
the appropriate T-slot on the rack frame.
Use a small, pointed object to position the
spring nuts into place.
Hold the bottom of the rack PDU assembly
over the desired mounting holes in the rack
frame or rack manufacturer’s bracket and
insert the fasteners into the PDU bracket.
Leave the fasteners slightly loose.
Position the top PDU bracket over the
desired mounting holes and insert its
fasteners. Tighten all rack PDU bracket
fasteners.
Button mount installation
Use a torx screw to attach the supplied
button mounts to the rear of the rack PDU.
NOTE: Only use the mounting buttons
provided with the MPH2 rack PDU. Using other
mounting buttons may damage the rack PDU.
Find the keyhole slots in the rack frame or
install the rack manufacturer’s keyhole slot
brackets in the desired location in the rack.
Insert each of the attached mounting
buttons into the large opening of a
keyhole slot.
Slide the assembly down into
the narrow portion of the keyhole slots to
lock in place.
HORIZONTAL MPH2 RACK PDU
MOUNTING
Attach the supplied brackets to each side
of the rack PDU. Attach each bracket to the
rack using the appropriate screws for your
rack.
