If you are mounting the PM IPDU, obtain a Phillips screwdriver and appropriate nuts and bolts before starting the following procedure.

NOTE: When mounting a Cyclades PM IPDU zero U model to a wall stud, securely mount it by using a #10 or larger screw or use a drywall fastener rated min. 25 lb. (11.34 kg).

The following graphics depict the orientation of the brackets for front rack mounting PM IPDU.

Installation environment

When installing the PM IPDU, ensure that the following environment specifications are met.

Table 2.6: PM IPDU Optimum Installation Environment

Environment Factor

Recommendation

 

 

Temperature

The manufacturer's maximum recommended ambient temperature for the

 

Cyclades PM IPDU is 122 ºF (50 ºC).

 

 

Elevated Operating Ambient

If the Cyclades PM IPDU is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly,

Temperature

the 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 achieved 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.
