Troubleshooting

PDU not powering on

Ensure the 16A plug is securely inserted into a functional power outlet. Check the circuit breaker for the outlet. Verify the LED indicator is illuminated; if not, the issue may be with the power source.

Connected devices not receiving power

Confirm the PDU's LED indicator is on. Check that each device's power cord is fully plugged into the PDU's NFC socket. Ensure the total power draw does not exceed the PDU's 16A rating or the power source's capacity.

Overheating

Immediately disconnect power. Check for obstructions blocking airflow to the PDU and surrounding equipment. Ensure the total load does not exceed the PDU's capacity. If the problem persists, discontinue use.
