Overheating or unusual noise

Immediately disconnect power. Ensure the PDU is not overloaded. Check for adequate airflow and that ventilation slots are not blocked. If the issue persists, contact support.

Loose outlet connections

Gently but firmly reseat the power cords of connected devices into the PDU outlets. Ensure the equipment's power cords are fully inserted.
