Product Description and Inventory AP7902 and AP7911 are Switched Rack Power Distribution Units (Rack PDUs) that distribute power to devices in the rack. The user can turn on, turn off, or recycle power back to the individually controlled outlets. The Rack PDUs also have a sensor that measures the current being used by the Rack PDUs and their attached devices. The Rack PDUs can be monitored through Web, Telnet, SNMP, or InfraStruXure Manager interfaces.
Product Description and Inventory Additional documentation The Rack PDU User’s Guide and the Rack PDU Addendum are available on the supplied CD and on the APC Web site: www.apc.com. The User’s Guide (.\doc\eng\usrguide.pdf) contains additional information about the following topics related to the Rack PDU: • Management interfaces • User accounts • Customizing setup • Security The Addendum (.\doc\eng\addendum.
How to Install the Rack PDU Installation guidelines Attach the cord retention tray • For a Rack PDU installed in an enclosed communications rack, the recommended maximum ambient temperature is 45° C (113º F). • Install the Rack PDU so that it does not reduce the air flow required for safe operation of the equipment. • Install the Rack PDU so that there is an even mechanical load. • Follow the nameplate ratings when connecting equipment to the supply circuit.
How to Install the Rack PDU Attach cords to the tray Attach a cord to the tray by looping the cord and securing it to the tray, using a wire tie (provided). Cords from both banks of outlets may be secured to the bottom tray, or you may attach an additional tray (shown on the preceding page) to secure cords from the top bank of outlets. Make sure the cords that are attached to the upper tray do not interfere with the operation of the circuit breakers.
How to Install the Rack PDU For a recessed placement: use four flat-head screws (provided) through the last four holes of each bracket. 2. Insert caged nuts (provided with the rack) on the vertical mounting rails above a number at the start of two U-spaces in your enclosure and below a number at the lower end of those two U–spaces. 2U 3.

Quick Configuration Warning Overview Disregard the procedures in this section if you have APC InfraStruXure Manager as part of your system. See the InfraStruXure Manager’s documentation for more information.
Quick Configuration APC Management Card Wizard You can use the APC Management Card Wizard at a Windows® 98, Windows NT® 4.0, Windows 2000, or Windows XP computer to configure a Rack PDU. 1. Insert the APC Switched Rack PDU Utility CD into a computer on your network. 2. Launch the Wizard, when prompted, or, if prompted to restart the computer, access the Wizard from the Start menu after the computer has restarted. 3.
Quick Configuration BOOTP. You can use an RFC951-compliant BOOTP server to configure the TCP/IP settings for the Rack PDU. If the BOOTP server is properly configured, the Rack PDU’s default setting (DHCP & BOOTP) for BOOT Mode causes it to discover the BOOTP server. If a BOOTP server is unavailable, see “APC Management Card Wizard” on page 8, “Local access to the control console” on page 11, or “Remote access to the control console” on page 11 to configure TCP/IP settings. 1.
Quick Configuration DHCP. You can use a RFC2131/RFC2132-compliant DHCP server to configure the TCP/IP settings for the Rack PDU. See also This section summarizes the Rack PDU communication with a DHCP server. For more detail about how a DHCP server is used to configure the network settings for the Rack PDU, see “DHCP Configuration” in the User’s Guide. 1.
Quick Configuration Local access to the control console You can use a local computer to connect to the Rack PDU to access the control console. 1. Select a serial port at the local computer, and disable any service which uses that port. 2. Use the configuration cable (940-0144) to connect the selected port to the serial port on the front panel of the Rack PDU. 3.
Quick Configuration 3. Use Telnet to access the Rack PDU at its newly assigned IP address. For example: telnet 156.205.14.141 4. Use apc for both user name and password. 5. See “Control console” on this page to finish the configuration. Control console After you log on at the control console, as described in “Local access to the control console” on page 11 or “Remote access to the control console” on page 11: 1. Choose Network from the Control Console menu. 2. Choose TCP/IP from the Network menu. 3.
How to Access a Configured Rack PDU Overview After the Rack PDU is running on your network, you can use the interfaces summarized here to access the unit. See also Web interface For more information on the interfaces, see the User’s Guide, located on the supplied CD and on the APC Web site: www.apc.com As your browser, you can use Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5.0 (and higher) or Netscape® 4.0.8 (and higher, except Netscape 6.x) to access the Management Card through its Web interface.
How to Access a Configured Rack PDU Telnet/SSH You can access the control console through Telnet or Secure SHell (SSH), depending on which is enabled. An Administrator can enable these access methods through the Telnet/SSH option of the Network menu. By default, Telnet is enabled. Enabling SSH automatically disables Telnet. Telnet for basic access. Telnet provides the basic security of authentication by user name and password, but not the high-security benefits of encryption.
How to Access a Configured Rack PDU FTP/SCP You can use FTP (enabled by default) or Secure CoPy (SCP) to transfer new firmware to the Rack PDU, or to access a copy of the Rack PDU’s event logs. SCP provides the higher security of encrypted data transmission and is automatically enabled when you enable SSH. Note If you enable SSL and SSH, disable FTP. Allowing file transfers using FTP compromises the high security environment of SSL and SSH.
How to Recover From a Lost Password You can use a local computer, a computer that connects to the Rack PDU or other device through the serial port to access the control console. 1. Select a serial port at the local computer, and disable any service that uses that port. 2. Connect the APC smart-signaling cable (940-0144) to the selected port on the computer and to the serial port at the Rack PDU: 3.
How to Download Firmware Updates See also For a complete description on how to download a firmware upgrade for your Rack PDU, see the Addendum on the provided APC Switched Rack PDU Utility CD. You can use a local computer that connects to the Rack PDU through the serial port on the front of the unit. 1. Select a serial port at the local computer, and disable any service that uses that port. 2.
