Known issues

  • You can drawer a maximum of 16A per bank; there are six banks in total per PDU.
  • Exceeding 16A will trip the breaker on the bank; PDU must be visited to reset the trip
  • Power Sockets are not labelled on the PDU
  • Default orientation (power cable up) can be reversed, but writing on PDU will be upside down
