How to Install the Rack PDU

Installation guidelines

• For a Rack PDU installed in an enclosed communications rack, the

 

 

recommended maximum ambient temperature is 45° C (113º F).

 

Install the Rack PDU so that it does not reduce the air flow

 

 

required for safe operation of the equipment.

 

• Install the Rack PDU so that there is an even mechanical load.

 

• Follow the nameplate ratings when connecting equipment to the

 

 

supply circuit. Avoid overloading the circuits, which could affect

 

 

over-circuit protection and supply wiring.

 

Maintain reliable earthing of the Rack PDU, especially supply-

 

 

connections that do not directly connect to the branch circuit.

 

• Install the Rack PDU so that the power plug is accessible to be

 

 

disconnected for service.

Attach the cord

Attach the cord retention tray to the Rack PDU, using four flat-head

retention tray

screws (provided) per tray.

 

Mount an additional cord retention tray to secure cords

 

from the top bank of outlets. Purchase additional tray kits

 

from APC (AP9569).

 

Note

Additional cord

Attach a second cord retention tray to the PDU, with the cord retainers

retention tray (optional)

facing down.
