Raritan Dominion PX-2000 PX2-2482 24-Outlets 3.3kVA PDU

The Raritan Dominion PX-2000 PX2-2482 24-Outlets 3.3kVA PDU is a high-density, intelligent power distribution solution built for modern data centers, server rooms, and network closets. Designed to deliver scalable power management with advanced outlet control, it helps IT teams optimize uptime, improve energy efficiency, and simplify administration in facilities that demand reliability and precision. The PX-2000 series blends flexible mounting options, diverse receptacle configurations, and per-outlet switching to provide a durable, adaptable power backbone for critical equipment. Whether you operate a compact colocation rack or a full-scale enterprise data center, this PDU offers the versatility, monitoring capability, and rugged performance needed to support growing workloads while maintaining clean, organized electrical infrastructure.

• Flexible form factors for seamless rack integration: The PX-2000 series is available in Zero U (vertical mount) and 1U (horizontal mount) configurations, enabling clean cable management and optimized airflow. These compact footprints reduce rack congestion and simplify installation in dense environments, making it easy to upgrade or reconfigure as your equipment evolves.
• 24 outlets with individual outlet switching: Each receptacle can be controlled independently, allowing precise power cycling for specific devices without disrupting entire circuits. This capability minimizes downtime during maintenance, protects equipment from rogue power events, and supports granular load shedding to keep critical gear online during outages or testing scenarios.
• Wide receptacle compatibility to fit regional standards: The PDU supports a broad range of plug and receptacle configurations, including NEMA, IEC, and other common formats. This versatility ensures compatibility with diverse IT gear and regional electrical codes, making it suitable for multinational deployments and mixed-rac configurations.
• High power density with 3.3 kVA capacity: Engineered for data-intensive applications, this PDU delivers robust power distribution for servers, storage arrays, network switches, and other essential devices. The generous 3.3kVA rating provides headroom for peak loads, while built-in protection helps guard equipment from overloads and short circuits.
• Integrated monitoring and remote management: Built-in monitoring, real-time outlet status, and metering provide visibility into energy use and device health. Manage and control outlets remotely via standard interfaces, enabling proactive maintenance, capacity planning, and alert-driven workflows across distributed environments.

how to install Raritan Dominion PX-2000 PX2-2482 24-Outlets 3.3kVA PDU

• Step 1: Choose a suitable rack position and mount the PX-2000 in a standard 19-inch rack using the provided mounting hardware. Ensure adequate clearance for airflow and accessibility to outlets and the management port.
• Step 2: Connect the input power cord to an appropriate power source that matches the PDU’s electrical rating and regional standards. Verify that the circuit can handle the 3.3 kVA load and that protective devices are in place.
• Step 3: Attach any network or management cables to the PDU’s Ethernet port or management interface, then power on the unit. If your environment uses SNMP or a centralized management system, configure the PDU to communicate with that platform.
• Step 4: Route cables cleanly to the 24 outlets, labeling circuits as needed. Configure per-outlet switching to align with device groups (e.g., servers, storage, networking), enabling targeted power cycling and improved fault isolation.
• Step 5: Access the PDU’s web interface to set alert thresholds, voltages, and usage meters. Enable any necessary security features, create user accounts with appropriate permissions, and integrate with existing monitoring tools for unified visibility.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What makes the PX-2000 PX2-2482 suitable for data centers? A: It provides high-density 24-outlet distribution, per-outlet switching, flexible mounting options (Zero U and 1U), broad receptacle compatibility, and integrated remote management, all designed to improve uptime, visibility, and control in demanding environments.
• Q: Can this PDU support high-power 400V configurations? A: Yes, select PX-2000 models are designed to accommodate high-power distribution, including 400V options, to match regional electrical standards and equipment needs.
• Q: How does outlet-level switching benefit operations? A: Outlet-level switching enables independent power control for each device, reducing downtime during maintenance, isolating faults quickly, and enabling effective power capping and load management without affecting other devices.
• Q: How is the PDU managed remotely? A: Management is typically via a built-in web interface and SNMP, offering real-time outlet status, metering, alerts, and control from centralized IT management systems or data center infrastructure software.
• Q: Is installation difficult for someone upgrading from a traditional power strip? A: Not at all. The PX-2000 is designed to be rack-ready with standard 19-inch mounting, clear labeling, and remote management features that simplify deployment and ongoing administration.
