Product Description and Inventory Description This manual provides information on installing and operating three Rack PDUs (AP7601, AP7602, and AP7608), which mount vertically in the rear channel of an APC NetShelter VX Enclosure. Each of these PDUs has a sensor that measures the current being used by the PDU and its attached devices. The display interface shows the aggregate current of an individual phase.

How to Install the Rack PDUs Installation guidelines Mounting options • If the PDU is installed in an enclosed communications rack, the recommended maximum ambient temperature should be no greater than 45°C. • Install the PDU so that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised. • Install the PDU so that there is not an uneven mechanical load. • Follow the nameplate ratings when connecting equipment to the supply circuit.
How to Install the Rack PDUs Toolless mounting 1. Slide the mounting pegs into the holes provided in the channel in the rear panel of the enclosure. Make sure the bottom pegs slide into the bottom holes in the enclosure. 2. Snap the Rack PDU into place by pushing it downward until it locks into position.
How to Install the Rack PDUs Bracket-mounting You can order a rack-mount bracket kit from APC—AR8116BLK. You attach the brackets to the Rack PDU in one of the two directions shown in the figures in step 1. Consider the orientation of the Rack PDU in the enclosure before attaching the brackets. A recessed orientation allows the Rack PDU to be mounted flush with the enclosure; a raised orientation allows you to route cables through the channel (see the figures in step 2). 1.
How to Install the Rack PDUs 2. Insert one mounting screw (provided with the bracket kit) in the top and bottom positions in the channel where the brackets align with the holes. Tighten the screw to secure the Rack PDU to the enclosure.
Configuration If you have InfraStruXure Manager as part of your system, you can use InfraStruXure Manager’s Web interface to configure the same values that are configured through a serial port. Note How to configure the PDU through a serial port 1. Connect an available serial port on your computer to the serial port on the Rack PDU, using the supplied configuration cable (990-0144). The PDU’s serial port is shown below. 2. Run a terminal emulation program such as Windows® HyperTerminal. 3.
Configuration Using the menus To view a menu, type the associated number and press ENTER. Users can view all data, but only administrators can configure parameters. The main menu has the following options: Option Number Option Access 1 Status Information User and Administrator 2 Rack PDU Configuration Users can display the parameters. Administrators can configure the parameters. 3 Device Data Users can display the parameters. Administrators can configure them.
Configuration Rack PDU Configuration option Rack PDU Configuration, main menu option 2, provides the following options: Option Number Option 1 Warning and Alarm Threshold Data for output current. 2 Audio/Visual Indicator Settings to enable or disable the audible alarm and digital display and to set the orientation of the display. Access Users can display the parameters. Administrators can configure them. Settings are displayed for each phase.
Configuration To change as setting: 1. Type 1, and press ENTER to move the arrow cursor to the next setting. 2. Type 2, and press ENTER to change the selected setting. 3. Type the new value, and press ENTER. Factory Data option Factory Data, main menu option 4, displays the following information about the Rack PDU: • Model number • Serial number • Hardware revision • Date of manufacture • Firmware revision • Date on which the firmware was installed You cannot change any of these items.
Operation Display interface Control button: • Press to change the phase of the current displayed on the digital display. • Press and hold for five seconds to view the orientation; hold for an additional five seconds to change the orientation. • Press to silence an alarm. Display of the current used by the PDU and attached devices: • Shows the aggregate current for the phase corresponding to the Phase Indicator LED that is illuminated.
Operation Alarm conditions You configure warning and alarm limits through the internal menus, using a serial port connection. The Rack PDU shows warning and alarm conditions as follows: Phase Indicator LED Displays yellow for a warning and red for an alarm. Digital Display If one phase is at or above the warning or alarm limit, the display shows the current for that phase. If more than one phase is at or above the warning or alarm limit, the display cycles among those phases, displaying their current.
Wiring Options Hardwiring procedure (optional) Remove the power cord. Note Make sure that power to the Rack PDU has been turned off, and unplug any attached equipment to prevent damage if a mistake occurs during wiring. 1. Detach the inspection cover on the power inlet end of the Rack PDU by removing the four screws on the sides of the cover and tilting the cover upward so that the terminal block is exposed. Set the screws aside for later use. 2.
Wiring Options 6. Attach wires to the terminal block as labeled on the board. Tighten the terminal block screws to secure the wires. Metered Rack-Mount PDU Terminal Block L3 L2 L1 L3 L2 L1 7. Attach a ground wire to the standoff on the metal chassis and tighten the screw to secure the ground to the chassis. 8. Place the hardwiring access cover (part number 870-70804) on the PDU, and secure it with one screw in the hole on the top of the cover. 9.
