Installation environment
When installing the PM IPDU, ensure that the following environment specifications are met.
Table 2.2: PM IPDU Optimum Installation Environment
Environment Factor | Recommendation |
|
|
Temperature | The manufacturer's maximum recommended ambient temperature for the |
| PM IPDU is 122 ºF (50 ºC). |
|
|
Elevated Operating Ambient | If the PM IPDU is installed in a closed or |
Temperature | operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater |
| than room ambient temperature. Therefore, consideration should be given |
| to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the |
| manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient temperature. See above. |
|
|
Reduced Air Flow | Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air |
| flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised. |
|
|
Mechanical Loading | Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous |
| condition is not created due to uneven mechanical loading. |
|
|
Circuit Overloading | Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the |
| supply circuit and the effect that overloading of circuits might have on |
| overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of |
| equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing |
| this concern. |
|
|
Reliable Grounding | Reliable grounding of |
| Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct |
| connections to the branch circuit, such as power strips or extension cords. |
|
|
NOTE: Install a PM IPDU 0U model in a location where there is an adjacent and accessible socket outlet.
CAUTION: The plug on the power cord of the PM IPDU is used as the disconnect device.
To mount the PM10 IPDU or PM10i IPDU:
1.Using a Phillips screwdriver, attach the supplied brackets to the sides of the PM IPDU.
2.Use the mounting hardware recommended for your rack to mount the PM IPDU.
