Periodically inspect the cable and outlet area for signs of wear, and verify that connections remain secure.

Recommendations

Install the PDU in compliance with local electrical codes and within the rack’s rated load capacity. Balance connected loads across phases where applicable, and protect the PDU with appropriate upstream circuit protection. For high-density deployments, plan outlet allocation to avoid single-circuit overloading and consider labeling connected equipment for maintenance efficiency.
