Route and Attach Power Cables to the Racks

Overhead Wiring

Route and attach power cables to equipment racks. If you ordered overhead wiring, connect the prewired power cables of the InfraStruXure PDU as follows:

1.Install the Shielding Troughs, Shielding Partitions, and Cable Ladders so that you can route power cables from the PDU to the Netshelter Enclosures.

2.Find the numbers that indicate the enclosure to which each power cable will supply power. These numbers appear on the roof of the PDU where the power cables exit, and on the ends of each power cable.

Note: The enclosures are not numbered. Consult your APC InfraStruXure Configure-To-Order (CTO) report to determine the enclosure associated with each power cable.

3.Beginning with the power cables for the enclosures farthest from the PDU, run each power cable within the Shielding Trough along the row and, if necessary, across one or more Cable Ladders to the enclosure to which it will provide power.

Note: Ensure that the L21-20 twist-lock connector at the end of each power cable always lies on top of any longer power cables in the Shielding Trough.

4. Connect the appropriate power cable to APC power management equipment in the enclosure in one of the four following ways:

– For single-feed devices without redundancy: attach a power cable directly to a Rack PDU installed in a NetShelter VX Enclosure.

– For dual-feed devices within a redundant system: attach a power cable from each PDU into two different Rack PDUs in the NetShelter VX Enclosure.
