Product information

Description

The Rittal 7979.256 is a high-performance metered power distribution unit (PDU) engineered for precise energy management within server racks. Designed to support high-density IT environments, this unit provides reliable power distribution with a total capacity of 7400W. It features a robust construction using aluminium and plastic, ensuring durability in demanding data center conditions. The PDU allows for accurate monitoring of electrical parameters, including energy measurement per phase and differential current measurement, which is essential for maintaining optimal uptime and efficiency in modern server infrastructures.

Advantages

This PDU offers significant operational benefits through its integrated differential current measurement, which helps in identifying potential electrical faults before they cause downtime. The unit is designed for vertical mounting in the zero-U space of Rittal VX IT or TS IT racks, allowing for tool-free installation that saves valuable time during deployment. With its power-saving design and minimal intrinsic power consumption, it contributes to lower operational costs. The inclusion of an electromagnetic buzzer for acoustic alarms and adjustable limit values for voltage and current ensures that administrators are immediately notified of any deviations from standard operating parameters.

Suitable for

High-density server racks and data center cabinets
IT environments requiring precise energy monitoring
Infrastructure setups needing differential current measurement
Vertical mounting in Rittal VX IT or TS IT enclosures

This unit may not be suitable for environments where the total power demand exceeds 7400W or where the input voltage does not match the 230V specification. It is also not intended for use in non-standard rack enclosures that do not support the specific vertical mounting dimensions of this PDU.

Key specifications

Total outlets: 28 (24 x C13, 4 x C19)
Maximum current: 32A
Maximum power capacity: 7400W
Input voltage: 230V
Cable length: 3 meters
Dimensions: 44 mm width, 70 mm depth, 1695 mm height
Measurement accuracy: ± 1% (kWh)

To use the Rittal 7979.256, mount the unit vertically into the designated zero-U space of your compatible server rack. The tool-free mounting system allows for quick installation without the need for specialized hardware. Once installed, connect the power cable to the appropriate 230V power source. The PDU is self-supplied, meaning it does not require an external power source to operate its monitoring functions. Use the integrated interface to configure alarm thresholds and monitor real-time electrical data through the network connection.

What to consider before purchase

Verify that your rack cabinet supports the 1695 mm height of the PDU
Ensure your power infrastructure can support a 32A load
Check that your equipment utilizes C13 and C19 power connectors
Confirm the compatibility of your rack model for tool-free mounting

For optimal performance, ensure that the PDU is installed in a well-ventilated area of the rack to maintain efficient operation. Regularly check the resettable operating hours meter and review the logged data to proactively manage your energy consumption and identify potential maintenance needs.
