INTRODUCTION
The Liebert MPX is an Adaptive Rack PDU (power distribution unit) built with modular and scalable
components that can be installed and reconfigured on-site to meet varying input and output power
connectivity needs. The flexibility of the modules requires that the installer ensure that the modules
match the power requirements of the application. Failure to do so could result in damage to the
Liebert MPX and connected components. The Liebert MPX Adaptive Rack PDU family consists of the
following components:
MPX PRC
—(Power Rail Chassis) distributes intermodule power, communications and serves as
the mounting base for all Liebert MPX components.
MPX PEM
—(Power Entry Module) delivers power to the Liebert MPX and includes provisions
for remote and local communication options. Detachable and non-detachable cord versions are
available.
•MPX IPC
—(Input Power Cord) is a detachable input power cord required for some versions of
MPX PEM. A variety of single- and three-phase plug types are available.
MPX BRM
—(Branch Receptacle Module) distributes overload-protected output power to user
loads. Hot swappable design allows for reconfiguration with choice of receptacle type, quantities,
and monitoring / control to the receptacle level.
•Liebert RPC
—(Rack PDU Card) optional network interface card to manage and monitor power
distribution to connected equipment; installs in the MPX PEM communication card slot. Allows
for multiple Liebert MPXs to be interconnected and managed from a single network connection.
•RPCBDM
—(Basic Display Module) optional display for local monitoring of Liebert MPX units.
Cord-connected, allowing user to select rack mounting location.
