SecureLock™ is an innovative mechanism designed by Raritan, which securely holds C14 or C20 plugs that are plugged into Raritan PDUs in place. This method requires the following two components:
Raritan PDU with SecureLock™ outlets, which have a latch slot inside either side of the outlet.
SecureLock™ cords, which is a power cord with a locking latch on each side of its plug. The following diagram illustrates such a plug.

Only specific PDUs are implemented with the SecureLock™ mechanism. If your PDU does not have this design, do NOT use the SecureLock™ cords with it.
Tip: The SecureLock™ outlets can accept regular power cords for power distribution but the SecureLock™ mechanism does not take effect.
To lock a power cord using the SecureLock™ mechanism:
Verify that the SecureLock™ cord you purchased meets your needs.
The cords' female socket matches the power socket type (C14 or C20) on your IT equipment.
The cord's male plug matches the outlet type (C13 or C19) on your PDU.
Connect the SecureLock™ cord between the IT equipment and your PDU.
Plug the female socket end of the cord into the power socket of the desired IT equipment.
Plug the male plug end of the cord into the appropriate SecureLock™ outlet on the PDU. Push the plug toward the outlet until you hear the click, which indicates the plug's latches are snapped into the latch slots of the outlet.
To remove a SecureLock™ power cord from the PDU:
Press and hold down the two latches on the cord's plug as illustrated in the diagram below.
