USER’S GUIDE switched rack pdu

®

The PDU does not provide power protection. Therefore, APC does not recommend plugging a unit directly into any unprotected power source, such as a wall outlet.

Initial setup

You must define three TCP/IP settings for the Switched Rack PDU before it can operate on the network.

•IP address of the PDU

•Subnet mask

•IP address of the default gateway

To configure the TCP/IP settings, see the Switched Rack PDU Installation and Quick Start Manual, provided in PDF on the APC Switched Rack Power Distribution Unit Utility CD and in printed form.
