ATEN 8-Outlet 1U eco PDU Quick Start Guide

Hardware Overview

The eco PDU features:

• Front View: Power outlets, USB Type-A port, COM + PON port, LAN 1, LCD panel, menu/back button, select button, enter button, LAN 2, sensor port, reset button, and outlet status LEDs (except for PG5308).
• Rear View: Power inlet, power cord, circuit breaker for outlets 1-4, and circuit breaker for outlets 5-8.

Note: The PG5308 model does not have outlet status LEDs.

Installation

1. Ensure the unit is properly grounded. This is crucial to prevent damage from power surges or static electricity.
2. Connect the power cable of each connected device to an available outlet on the eco PDU. Use ATEN Lok-U-Plug cable holders for securing cables.
3. Connect the unit's LAN 1 or LAN 2 port to a network using an Ethernet cable. For network redundancy, both LAN ports can be connected. The LAN ports can also be used to cascade multiple PDUs.
4. (Optional) Connect an environmental sensor (ATEN EA1640 Temperature & Humidity Sensor) to the unit's sensor port.
5. (Optional) Connect an RS-232/RS-485 serial controller to the unit's COM port.
6. Connect the unit's built-in power cord to an AC power source to turn it on, then turn on the connected devices. For the PG8208G model, connect the supplied power cord to its power inlet and then to the external power source.

Rack Mount Installation

1. Attach the two mounting brackets to the sides of the unit using the provided screws.
2. Align the mounting brackets' screw holes with the front of the rack and secure the unit using self-supplied screws.

ATEN eco PDUs can be managed through three methods:
