Raritan Dominion PX-2000 PX2-2522 24-Outlets 8.6kVA PDU

The Raritan Dominion PX-2000 PX2-2522 is a high-performance intelligent rack power distribution unit (iPDU) engineered for today’s demanding data centers, server rooms, and network closets. This 2U, 24-outlet PDU combines rugged reliability with advanced power analytics to give you real-time visibility and control over critical IT loads. With its 8.6 kVA rating and billing-grade accuracy, the PX-2000 helps you optimize energy use, reduce risk of downtime, and simplify chargeback and capacity planning across your infrastructure.

Designed to deliver precise, unit-level power data, the PX-2000 tracks current, voltage, power (kVA and kW), power factor, and energy consumption (kWh) with ISO/IEC +/- 1% accuracy. This level of granularity makes it easy to identify power-hungry servers, understand runtime conditions, and enforce efficient, compliant operation in facilities of any size. The PX-2000 family also supports robust remote management features that streamline administration, improve security, and enable proactive maintenance—without sacrificing performance or reliability. Whether you’re building a new data center, expanding capacity, or consolidating assets, this PDU provides the insights and control you need to keep your IT workload running smoothly.

• Real-time, unit-level power monitoring: The PX-2000 delivers continuous visibility into current (amps), voltage, power (kVA, kW), power factor, and energy usage (kWh) for each connected device. This granular data enables precise capacity planning, informed load balancing, and accurate billing-grade reporting for chargebacks or audits. With ISO/IEC +/- 1% accuracy, you can trust the numbers you rely on to manage critical workloads and optimize energy consumption across racks.
• 24-outlet distribution in a compact 2U footprint: The PX2-2522 configuration packs 24 independently monitored and/or controllable outlets into a compact 2U form factor, freeing rack space while delivering centralized management and security. This layout is ideal for dense compute environments, top-of-rack deployments, and mixed-asset racks where visibility into every outlet matters for power capping and fault isolation.
• Advanced remote management and analytics: Manage the PX-2000 from anywhere with a secure web interface and standard management protocols. The PDU supports remote monitoring, alerting, and reporting, making it easier to set thresholds, generate utilization reports, and integrate with data center infrastructure management (DCIM) systems. Such capabilities help IT teams accelerate incident response, enforce policy-based controls, and demonstrate compliance with energy-efficiency initiatives.
• Per-outlet control and intelligent load management: Beyond monitoring, the PX-2000 can enable per-outlet control to automate power cycling, enforce power budgets, and isolate failing devices quickly. This granular control reduces mean time to repair (MTTR) and improves uptime by letting you react to anomalous behavior at the device level before it impacts other servers or services.
• Durable build, security, and interoperability: Built for continuous operation in mission-critical environments, the PX-2000 supports secure remote access, role-based permissions, and integration with standard network management tools. It is designed to work with common rack configurations and supports industry-standard cabling and mounting accessories, ensuring a reliable, scalable solution that fits into existing data center workflows and security models.

How to Install Raritan Dominion PX-2000 PX2-2522 24-Outlets 8.6kVA PDU

Installing the PX-2000 is a straightforward process designed to minimize downtime and maximize protection for your IT gear. Follow these steps to ensure a proper, secure setup that delivers optimal monitoring and control capabilities:

1) Plan the rack placement and cabling. Confirm the PX-2000 will reside in a suitable 19-inch rack with adequate clearance for air flow, cable management, and maintenance access. Map the outlet layout to the equipment in your rack, deciding which devices will be connected to which outlets to support clear power budgeting and fault isolation. Prepare the power source and ensure the upstream circuit can handle the anticipated load with headroom for growth.

2) Mount the PDU securely. Use the appropriate mounting hardware to attach the PX-2000 to the rack rails. Verify that the unit is level, stable, and free from any external stress on the power cord or outlets. Proper mounting reduces vibration, protects connectors, and helps maintain long-term reliability.

3) Connect power input and grounding. Attach the input power cord(s) to the appropriate power source(s) and ensure a solid ground connection. If your facility uses multiple feeds or redundant configurations, follow your data center’s electrical standards to connect the PDU accordingly, paying attention to any recommended wiring configurations from Raritan’s documentation.

4) Connect devices to outlets. Route server and network equipment power cords to the PX-2000 outlets, balancing the load to prevent over‑subscription on any single circuit. It’s best practice to group similar devices (e.g., compute nodes, storage, network gear) to simplify monitoring and capacity planning. Label cables and map each outlet to its host device for easier management in the management console.

5) Configure the management interface. Power up the PDU and connect to its management interface via the provided IP address. Set credentials, configure network settings (IP, subnet, gateway), enable authentication methods, and establish secure access (SSH/HTTPS) as per your security policy. Create user roles with appropriate permissions and set up alert thresholds for voltage, current, power, and outlet status. If you have a DCIM or SNMP-based monitoring system, integrate the PDU so it can feed power data into your centralized monitoring dashboard.

6) Define monitoring and alert policies. Establish baselines for typical rack power use and configure alerts for over‑current, undervoltage, power-factor anomalies, or outlet faults. Testing these thresholds ensures that alerts reach the right teams and that you can respond quickly to any anomalies before they affect uptime.

7) Validate operation and documentation. Verify temperature, airflow, and electrical load in the rack after the initial configuration. Run a controlled power cycle on a non-critical load to confirm outlet control features work as expected and that monitoring data is accurately reflected in the management interface. Document the configuration, outlet mappings, and alert settings for future reference and audits.
