Route the power cord from the PDU+ toward the rack side braces. Then, route the power cord along
a side brace toward the back of the rack and secure the power cord with the cable straps that are
provided with the PDU+.

Route the power cord toward a dedicated power source. Use the provided cable straps to secure the
power cord along the way. Use the openings in the rack, if the power cord must exit the rack to
connect to a power source.
Attention:
To prevent damage to a power device and other connected devices, always connect the
power device to an authorized power source for that device.
11.
Connect the power cord to a properly wired and grounded dedicated power source. Then, you can
connect servers or rack PDUs in the rack to the power outlets on the PDU+.

Route all of the other power cables neatly and secure the power cables with cable straps.
Setting up power monitoring using the PDU+
You can monitor the power status for any device that is connected to the power distribution unit plus
(PDU+), either manually or remotely, through the PDU+ Web interface. You can use the IBM DPI
Configuration Utility to initially set up the PDU+ and to configure PDU+ settings such as network
parameters, access control table, and trap receivers table.
Note:
All of the Configuration Utility configuration options are available through the Web interface after
the PDU+ is set up on the local network.
