4. Hardware Installation
4.1. Connecting the Power Supply Cables
4.1.1. Installing the Power Supply Cable Keepers
The Outlet Managed PDU includes cable keepers, which are designed to prevent the
power supply cables from being accidentally disconnected from the unit.
• MPSH8-S20-120V, MPSH8-S20-120V, MPSH8-D20-120V and
MPSH8-D20-208+V Models: The cable keepers for these units must be
installed by the user.
1. First make certain that both of the Outlet Managed PDU’s two power
cables are disconnected from the power source.
2. Install the two standoff screws (included with the cable keeper) in the
two vacant screw holes, located between the two power inlets. When
the standoff screws are in place, thread the two screws supplied with the
cable keeper into the top end of both of the standoff screws.
3. Connect the power cables to the power inlets. Check to make sure that
both cables are rmly seated in the power inlet connectors.
4. Install the cable keeper plate, by slipping the plate over the two screws
which protrude from the top of the standoffs. Slip the cable keeper
plate into place, so that the notches in the bottom of the plate slip over
the power cables, and the holes in the middle of the plate align with the
screws in the tops of the standoffs.
5. Tighten the two screws into the standoffs to secure the plate and the
power supply cables to the unit. Check to make certain that the cables
are held rmly in place by the cable keepers.
• MPSH16-D20-120V and MPSH16-D20-208+V Models: These units
include pre-installed cable keepers. When attaching the power supply cables
to the unit, rst swing the cable keepers out of the way, then plug the power
cables securely into the power inputs. When the cables are in place, snap the
cable keepers over each plug to secure the cables to the unit.
