How to install APC by Schneider Electric Metered 30-Outlet PDU

Installing this PDU is straightforward for trained IT staff. Follow these steps to ensure safe, reliable operation and optimal performance:

• Preparation: Verify rack space and mounting hardware, confirm the cabinet supports a 0U installation, and ensure adequate clearance for power cords, cable management, and airflow.
• Mounting: Secure the PDU to the rack rails in a 0U position using the included brackets and screws. Check that the unit is level and firmly anchored to prevent movement during maintenance.
• Power connections: Connect the PDU input to a properly rated 230 V AC power source that can handle the unit’s 14.40 kW maximum load. Follow local electrical codes and facility standards for grounding and protection.
• Outlets and cabling: Plan outlet distribution to minimize cable clutter. Route cords neatly, label outlets for quick identification, and separate high-draw devices to balance load across C13 and C19 outlets.
• Configuration and testing: Use the built-in interface or APC management software to enable metering, configure the remote relay, and set alarms or load thresholds. Power on devices sequentially and verify real-time readings, outlet control, and that alerts trigger as intended.
