InfraStruXure Power Distribution Module

Electrical Hazard. To prevent arcing when removing an APC Power Distribution Module (PDM) from the Modular Power Distribution Unit (PDU), set all PDMs to OFF. Do not remove the modules while they are still supporting the load.

Caution: PDMs must be replaced by trained personnel only.

Note: The PDM can be safely installed into a powered rack.

Verify that all the breakers are in the OFF position.

Press the red button to release the latch.

Note: For PDMs with RCDs installed, the occurrence of an earth fault will automatically open the adjacent circuit- breaker.

Note: PDMs with RCDs are equipped with a test button. Periodic testing of the RCD may be required. Check your local codes.

See Operation Manual 990-3054 for more information.

How to unpack the Power Distribution Module (PDM)

Remove the PDM from its carton.

Cut cable ties and unwind the power cable.

How to install the PDM

Note: Some Power Distribution Units have filler plates installed. When a PDM is to be installed, the filler plate must be removed from the busbar.

Press down on the clip.

Pull out the plate from the unit. (Do not throw away the filler plate. Keep it for potential later use).

Pull open the latch.
