Eaton G4 EVMI2130X 42-Outlets PDU

The Eaton G4 EVMI2130X 42-Outlets PDU is a purpose-built, three-phase metered input power distribution unit designed for demanding data center environments. Crafted for large-scale distributed IT deployments, this G4 rack PDU helps data center managers simplify procurement, streamline deployment, and maintain tight control over power distribution across a high-density rack footprint. Built to support enterprise, colocation, and distributed IT facilities, the EVMI2130X combines robust electrical performance with clear, data-driven visibility into energy usage, enabling smarter capacity planning and workload balancing.

Whether you’re optimizing a single 42U rack in a flagship data center or managing power across a distributed IT estate, this PDU is engineered to deliver reliable power delivery, precise metering, and scalable control. Its three-phase metered input configuration is ideal for facilities that demand accurate energy measurement, lower total cost of ownership, and the ability to respond quickly to changing workloads. The EVMI2130X is more than a power strip—it’s a centralized power management tool that helps operators monitor, document, and optimize power distribution with confidence.

• Three-phase metered input for precise power visibility. The EVMI2130X is designed to accept a three-phase supply, offering granular metering that provides real-time current, voltage, power, and energy consumption data to support capacity planning, load balancing, and fault detection in large IT deployments. With accurate metering, data center operators can quantify power usage effectiveness (PUE) and identify opportunities to optimize cooling and workload placement.
• 42 outlets in a 19-inch rack-ready form factor. This high-density PDU consolidates a comprehensive power distribution footprint into a single, efficient unit suitable for enterprise data centers, colocation facilities, and distributed IT operations. The 42-outlet configuration simplifies cabling, improves organization, and reduces the need for multiple PDUs when provisioning new racks or expanding capacity in growing environments.
• Streamlined deployment for enterprise-scale environments. Designed with data center managers in mind, the EVMI2130X supports rapid procurement and deployment across multi-rack or multi-site deployments. Its rugged construction and straightforward mounting scheme help teams deploy quickly, minimize downtime, and maintain consistent power distribution across diverse IT loads.
• Durable, reliable operation under continuous load. Built to withstand the rigors of 24/7 data center operation, this PDU emphasizes reliability, ease maintenance, and long-term durability. Its robust enclosure, secure mounting, and simple cable management contribute to dependable power delivery in busy racks while reducing the risk of accidental disconnections or miswiring during routine maintenance.
• Scalability and compatibility for evolving IT footprints. The EVMI2130X supports scalable power distribution across growing IT environments. With 42 outlets in a single unit and compatibility with standard 19-inch racks, it adapts to expanding equipment fleets, modular data centers, and distributed IT strategies, helping organizations avoid over-provisioning while maintaining robust electrical coverage.

How to install Eaton G4 EVMI2130X 42-Outlets PDU

• 1. Prepare the installation site: verify the rack space, ensure the local electrical system meets applicable codes, and have the correct three-phase power feed available for the PDU input.
• 2. Mount the PDU in the rack: align the unit with the 19-inch mounting rails and secure it using the appropriate hardware. Ensure the PDU is oriented according to your cabling plan and maintenance accessibility requirements.
• 3. Connect the incoming power: attach the three-phase power cables to the PDU input terminals following the facility’s wiring practices and color-coding standards. Confirm proper grounding and isolation as part of the installation.
• 4. Organize and route outlet cables: plan outlet-to-device connections to minimize tangling and cross-talk between power and data paths. Label outlets for easy device identification and future maintenance.
• 5. Configure metering and monitoring: power up the PDU and access its management interface (local display or network interface depending on your setup). Enable energy metering, set alert thresholds, and configure data collection parameters according to your data center monitoring strategy.
• 6. Verify functionality: confirm that all outlets are delivering power, review the live energy readings, and test any remote monitoring notifications. Validate that the PDU reports correctly in your facility’s DCIM or monitoring tools.
