2. Open (turn OFF) the Main Input on the InfraStruXure PDU.
3. If applicable, open (turn OFF) the Main Output circuit breakers on the front of the PDU.

For more information, see “How to Ensure Total Power Off” on page 33.

Emergency Power Off (EPO)

Hazardous voltage from the branch circuit must be isolated from the 24VAC, 24VDC, and contact closure. 24VAC and 24VDC are considered Class 2 circuits as defined in Article 725 of the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) and Section 16 of the Canadian Electrical Code (C22.1).

A Class 2 circuit is a source having limited voltage and energy capacity as follows:

a. If an Inherently Limited Power Source, voltage and energy are limited to less than 30VAC, less than 30VDC, and 8A.
b. If not an Inherently Limited Power Source, voltage and energy are limited to less than 30VAC, less than 60VDC, 250VA, and the current is limited to 1000/Vmax. The fuse is limited to 5A if less than 20VAC or 20VDC, or 100/Vmaximum if less than 30VAC or 60VDC.

If you choose to use a 24VAC, 24VDC, or contact closure connection to the EPO, use one of the following UL-listed wire types:

• CL2 Class 2 cable for general purpose use
• CL2P Plenum cable for use in ducts, plenums, and other space used for environmental air
• CL2R Riser cable for use in a vertical run shaft from floor to floor
• CL2X Limited Use cable for use in dwellings and for use in a raceway
• For installation in Canada, the cable should be CSA Certified, type ELC (extra-low-voltage control cable).

If you do not use a CL2 cable, route the EPO wiring in conduit that does not contain any branch circuit wiring.

Branch Ckt Loading

You can display Branch Ckt Loading (Branch Circuit Loading) status if the option to measure current at the distribution circuit breakers is installed.

You can view data for each individual panel position on the distribution panel. To view status of a panel position, select the range that includes the position:

The top line of selections on the screen applies to the top distribution circuit breaker panel on the PDU. The bottom line of selections applies to the bottom distribution circuit breaker panel on the PDU. The panel position numbers on the screen correspond to the numbers on the distribution panel. (Odd numbers are on the left; even numbers are on the right.)

Once you have selected the correct range, press the Up and Down arrow keys to scroll through the list of circuit breakers in the selected range. Poles that are tied together will be shown on the same screen.

In the example above, the screen shows the third circuit breaker of 21 circuit breakers in the selected range. This is a single-pole circuit breaker, occupying panel position 05. The circuit breaker is rated at 20 amps. The following data are displayed for each pole:

• Irms: Measured root mean square (RMS) current of the pole position.
• %LD: Present load as a percentage of rated load of the panel position.

Branch Ckt Limits

Available only if the option to measure individual currents is installed, Branch Ckt Limits (Branch Circuit Limits) accesses a scrollable list of the circuit breakers in the panel. For each circuit breaker, the screen displays, in the Loading column, the current on each panel position. This number is shown as a percentage of the rated current. In the Load Alarm column, you can configure the high and low thresholds for the circuit breaker as a percentage of its rated current. For example, if you set 80% as the high threshold for a single-pole 20-amp circuit breaker, an alarm condition occurs if the current reaches 16 amps.

Panel Configuration

Configure the branch metering settings for each circuit breaker on the distribution panel, or configure both panels simultaneously. To configure a circuit breaker, select the range that includes the circuit breaker. The top line of selections on the screen apply to

the top distribution circuit breaker panel on the PDU. The bottom line of selections apply to the bottom distribution circuit breaker panel on the PDU. The panel position numbers on the screen correspond to the numbers on the distribution panel. (Odd numbers are on the left; even numbers are on the right.) Once you have selected the correct range, configure the settings for each circuit breaker in the range:

Pos: The panel positions in the selected range.

Breaker: Two configurable items:

• The circuit breaker rating, in amps.

- The circuit breaker tie indicator: Define the number of panel positions tied (i.e., associated). You can associate positions with circuit breakers, which enables you to view status about each circuit breaker and receive alarm notification when any of a circuit breaker's poles are above or below the configured branch circuit limit. You can also tie together panel positions that are logically associated. For example, you can tie together panel positions for three separate circuit breakers that are connected to the same PDU power cable and that feed power to the same equipment enclosure.

To configure the values on this screen:

1. From the first column, use the arrow keys to scroll up or down to the pole position you want to configure.
2. Press the ENTER key to move to the item you want to configure in the third column (the circuit breaker rating or the circuit breaker tie indicator).
3. Scroll again to select the value you want for the circuit breaker rating or the circuit breaker tie indicator. To associate one panel position with the next position in the list, choose the + character as the tie indicator immediately following the circuit breaker rating. To indicate that the position is not tied to (associated with) the next panel position in the list, choose the ] character as the tie indicator immediately following the circuit breaker rating. When you change the + or ] character that follows the circuit breaker rating in one row, the + or [ character before the circuit breaker rating in the next row also changes to indicate the changed association between the panel positions.

For example, this screen shows three, single-pole, 20A, tied circuit breakers occupying positions 08, 10, and 12 on the top right distribution panel.

Global Panel Config

Configures the same number of poles or circuit breaker ratings for all circuit breakers in both distribution panels simultaneously. For example, if your system uses only 3-pole, 20-amp circuit breakers, choose this option, scroll to the value 3 for Poles and 020 for Amp Rating, and then select Apply Now and YES to implement your changes.

Communication Configuration

InfraStruXure PDU Management Options

Overview

You have two management options for the InfraStruXure PDU. You can manage the InfraStruXure PDU along with the rest of your InfraStruXure equipment through the InfraStruXure Manager (APC LAN), or you can manage your InfraStruXure PDU through APC's network management interfaces (User LAN).

InfraStruXure Manager

The InfraStruXure Manager is a rack-mount management device that coordinates the management functions of APC InfraStruXure-Certified devices installed in your data center. It provides one single interface to view and configure all APC InfraStruXure-Certified devices. See “Configuring the InfraStruXure Manager” on page 36 for configuration instructions.

See also

For more information about the InfraStruXure Manager, see the Installation and Configuration manual included with the InfraStruXure Manager.

Network management interfaces

The control console and Web interfaces provide menus with options that allow you to manage the InfraStruXure PDU. See “Configuring the Network Management Interface” on page 37 for configuration instructions.

See also

For more information about the internal user interfaces, see the InfraStruXure PDU online Network Management User's Guide.

The SNMP interface allows you to use an SNMP browser with the PowerNet ^® Management Information Base (MIB) to manage the InfraStruXure PDU. See “Configuring the Network Management Interface” on page 37 for configuration instructions.

See also

To use the PowerNet MIB with an SNMP browser, see the PowerNet ^® SNMP Management Information Base (MIB) Reference Guide, which is provided on the InfraStruXure PDU Utility CD.

Configuring the InfraStruXure Manager

Connect the InfraStruXure PDU to the InfraStruXure Manager

1. Connect a Cat-5 network cable to the surge-protected ethernet port on the PDU user connection plate.

You can make connections from inside the enclosure, or you can remove the user connection plate and make your connections.

Remove the plate using a Phillips or standard screwdriver to loosen the two captive screws. Use the knockout in the plate to route cables to and from the user connections on the plate. If you remove the plate, make sure that you do not disturb the existing connections.

1. Run the connected Cat-5 network cable through the knockout in the user connection plate to the Information Controller Hub.

2. Once all APC InfraStruXure-Certified equipment is installed, the network cables are connected to the Information Controller Hub, and start-up of the system is complete, configure the Information Controller.

See also

For detailed configuration instructions, see the Information Controller Installation and Quick-Start manual included with your Information Controller.

Configuring the Network Management Interface

Connect the InfraStruXure PDU to your network

1. Connect a Cat-5 network cable to the surge-protected ethernet port on the PDU user connection plate.

You can make connections from inside the enclosure, or you can remove the user connection plate and make your connections.

Remove the plate using a Phillips or standard screwdriver to loosen the two captive screws. Use the knockout in the plate to route cables to and from the user connections on the plate. If you remove the plate, make sure that you do not disturb the existing connections.

1. Run the connected Cat-5 network cable through the knockout in the user connection plate to your network connection.

2. Configure the TCP/IP settings of the InfraStruXure PDU. See "Configuration Overview" on this page for further instructions.

Configuration Overview

You must configure the following TCP/IP settings before the InfraStruXure PDU can operate on a network:

• IP address of the InfraStruXure PDU
- Subnet mask
- Default gateway

Note

If a default gateway is unavailable, use the IP address of a computer that is located on the same subnet as the InfraStruXure PDU and that is usually running. The InfraStruXure PDU uses the default gateway to test the network when traffic is very light. See “Watchdog Features” in the “Introduction” of the InfraStruXure PDU’s online Network Management User’s Guide for more information about the watchdog role of the default gateway.

TCP/IP configuration methods

Use one of the following methods to define the TCP/IP settings needed by the InfraStruXure PDU:

• Device IP Configuration Wizard (See “Device IP Configuration Wizard” on this page.)
• BOOTP or DHCP server (See “BOOTP & DHCP configuration” on page 39.)
• Local computer (See “Local access to the control console” on page 41.)
• Networked computer (See “Remote access to the control console” on page 41.)

Device IP Configuration Wizard

You can use the Device IP Configuration Wizard on a Windows NT ^® 4.0, Windows 2000, or Windows XP computer to discover unconfigured InfraStruXure PDUs and configure their basic TCP/IP settings.

See also

To configure one or more InfraStruXure PDUs by exporting configuration settings from a configured PDU, see “How to Export Configuration Settings” in the online Network Management User's Guide on the Utility CD.

1. Insert the InfraStruXure 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. Wait for the Wizard to discover the first unconfigured InfraStruXure PDU, then follow the on-screen instructions.

Note

If you leave the Start a Web browser when finished option enabled, you can use apc for both the User Name and Password to access the InfraStruXure PDU through your browser.

BOOTP & DHCP configuration

The Boot Mode Setting, a TCP/IP option in the InfraStruXure PDU's Network menu, identifies how the TCP/IP settings will be defined. The possible settings are Manual, DHCP only, BOOTP only, and DHCP & BOOTP (the default setting).

Note

The DHCP & BOOTP setting assumes that a properly configured DHCP or BOOTP server is available to provide TCP/IP settings to InfraStruXure PDUs. If these servers are unavailable, see “Device IP Configuration Wizard” on page 38, “Local access to the control console” on page 41, or “Remote access to the control console” on page 41 to configure the needed TCP/IP settings.

With Boot Mode set to DHCP & BOOTP, the InfraStruXure PDU attempts to discover a properly configured server. It first searches for a BOOTP server, then a DHCP server, and repeats this pattern until it discovers a BOOTP or DHCP server.

Note

For more information, see "BOOTP" on this page or "DHCP" on page 40.

BOOTP. You can use an RFC951-compliant BOOTP server to configure the TCP/IP settings for the InfraStruXure PDU.

Note

The BOOTP setting assumes that a properly configured BOOTP server is available to provide TCP/IP settings to APC InfraStruXure PDUs. If a BOOTP server is unavailable, see “Device IP Configuration Wizard” on page 38, “Local access to the control console” on page 41, or “Remote access to the control console” on page 41 to configure the TCP/IP settings.

1. Make sure that the BOOTP setting, a TCP/IP option in the InfraStruXure PDU's Network menu, is enabled.

2. Enter the InfraStruXure PDU's MAC and IP addresses, the subnet mask and default gateway settings, and an optional Bootup file name in the BOOTPTAB file of the BOOTP server.

See also

For the MAC address, look on the Quality Assurance slip included with the InfraStruXure PDU.

1. When the InfraStruXure PDU reboots, the BOOTP server provides it with the TCP/IP settings.

2. If you specified a bootup file name, the InfraStruXure PDU attempts to transfer that file from the BOOTP server using TFTP or FTP. The InfraStruXure PDU assumes all settings specified in the bootup file.

3. If you did not specify a bootup file name, the InfraStruXure PDU can be configured remotely by using Telnet or by using the Web interface. The User Name and Password are both apc, by default.

See also

To create the bootup file, see your BOOTP server documentation.

DHCP. You can use a RFC2131/RFC2132-compliant DHCP server to configure the TCP/IP settings for the InfraStruXure PDU.

See also

This section briefly summarizes the InfraStruXure PDU communication with a DHCP server. For more detail about how a DHCP server is used to configure the network settings for a InfraStruXure PDU, see “DHCP Configuration” in the InfraStruXure PDU’s online Network Management User’s Guide.

1. A InfraStruXure PDU sends out a DHCP request that uses the following to identify itself:

2. A Vendor Class Identifier (APC by default)

3. A Client Identifier (by default, the InfraStruXure PDU's MAC address value)

4. A User Class Identifier (by default, the identification of the InfraStruXure PDU's application firmware)

5. A properly configured DHCP server responds with a DHCP offer that includes all of the settings that the InfraStruXure PDU needs for network communication. The DHCP offer also includes the Vendor Specific Information option (DHCP option 43). By default, the InfraStruXure PDU will ignore DHCP offers that do not encapsulate the APC cookie in the Vendor Specific Information option using the following hexadecimal format:

Option 43 = 01 04 31 41 50 43

where

• the first byte (01) is the code
• the second byte (04) is the length
• the remaining bytes (31 41 50 43) are the APC cookies

See your DHCP server documentation to add code to the Vendor Specific Information option. To disable the APC cookie requirement, see “Local access to the control console” on page 41.

To change the control console's DHCP Cookie Is setting, use the Advanced option in the TCP/IP menu. See “Remote access to the control console” on page 41.

Local access to the control console

You can use a local computer that connects to the InfraStruXure PDU through the console port on the InfraStruXure PDU monitoring unit to access the control console.

1. Select a serial port at the local computer, and disable any service that uses that port.
2. Use the configuration cable (APC part number 940-0103) to connect the selected port to the console port on the InfraStruXure PDU monitoring unit.
3. Run a terminal program (such as HyperTerminal ^® ) on your computer and configure the selected port for 9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control, and save the changes.
4. Press ENTER to display the User Name prompt.
5. Use apc for the User Name and Password.
6. See "Control console" on page 42 to finish the configuration.

Remote access to the control console

From any computer on the same subnet as the InfraStruXure PDU, you can use ARP and Ping to assign an IP address to an InfraStruXure PDU, and then use Telnet to access that InfraStruXure PDU's control console and configure the needed TCP/IP settings.

Note

After an InfraStruXure PDU has its IP address configured, you can use Telnet, without first using ARP and Ping, to access that InfraStruXure PDU.

1. Use ARP to define an IP address for the InfraStruXure PDU, and use the InfraStruXure PDU's MAC address in the ARP command. For example, to define an IP address of 156.205.14.141 for an InfraStruXure PDU that has a MAC address of 00 c0 b7 63 9f 67, use one of the following commands:

- Windows command format:
arp -s 156.205.14.141 00-c0-b7-63-9f-67 

-LINUX command format:
arp -s 156.205.14.141 00:c0:b7:63:9f:67 

See also

For the MAC address, look on the Quality Assurance slip included with the InfraStruXure PDU.

1. Use Ping with a size of 113 bytes to assign the IP address defined by the ARP command. For the IP address defined in step 1, use one of the following Ping commands:

- Windows command format:
    ping 156.205.14.141 -1 113
- LINUX command format:
    ping 156.205.14.141 -s 113 

1. Use Telnet to access the InfraStruXure PDU at its newly assigned IP address. For example: telnet 156.205.14.141
2. Use apc for both User Name and Password.
3. 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 41 or “Remote access to the control console” on page 41:

1. Choose Network from the Control Console menu.
2. Choose TCP/IP from the Network menu.
3. If you are not using a BOOTP or DHCP server to configure the TCP/IP settings, select the Boot Mode menu. Select Manual boot mode, and then press ESC to return to the TCP/IP menu. (Changes will take effect when you log out.)
4. Set the System IP, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway address values.
5. Press CTRL-C to exit to the Control Console menu.
6. Log out (option 4 in the Control Console menu).

Note

If you disconnected a cable during the procedure described in “Local access to the control console” on page 41, reconnect that cable and restart the associated service.

How to Access a Network Management Interface on a Configured InfraStruXure PDU

Note

Disregard the procedures in this section if you have the APC InfraStruXure Manager as part of your system. See the InfraStruXure Manager's Installation and Quick-Start manual for access information.

Web interface

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 InfraStruXure PDU through its Web interface. Other commonly available browsers also may work but have not been fully tested by APC.

To use the Web browser to configure InfraStruXure PDU options or to view the event log, you can use either of the following:

• The HTTP protocol (enabled by default), which provides authentication by user name and password but no encryption.
• The more secure HTTPS protocol, which provides extra security through Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and encrypts user names, passwords, and data being transmitted. It also provides authentication of Network Management Cards by means of digital certificates.

To access the Web interface and configure the security of your device on the network:

1. Address the InfraStruXure PDU by its IP address or DNS name (if configured).
2. Enter the user name and password (by default, apc and apc for an Administrator, or device and apc for a Device Manager).
3. Select and configure the type of security you want. (This option is available only for Administrators.)

See also

See the chapter entitled “Security” in the InfraStruXure PDU’s online Network Management User’s Guide for information on choosing and setting up your network security. Use the Web/SSL option of the Network menu to enable or disable the HTTP or HTTPS protocols.

Telnet and 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. To use Telnet to access an InfraStruXure PDU's control console from any computer on the same subnet:

1. At a command prompt, use the following command line, and press ENTER:

telnet address

As address, use the InfraStruXure PDU's IP address or DNS name (if configured).

1. Enter the user name and password (by default, apc and apc for an Administrator, or device and apc for a Device Manager).

SSH for high-security access. If you use the high security of SSL for the Web interface, use Secure SHell (SSH) for access to the control console. SSH encrypts user names, passwords, and transmitted data.

The interface, user accounts, and user access rights are the same whether you access the control console through SSH or Telnet, but to use SSH, you must first configure SSH and have an SSH client program installed on your computer.

See also

See the InfraStruXure PDU's online Network Management User's Guide for more information on configuring and using SSH.

SNMP

After you add the PowerNet MIB to a standard SNMP MIB browser, you can use that browser for SNMP access to the InfraStruXure PDU. The default read community name is public; the default read/write community name is private.

Note

If you enable SSL and SSH for their high-security authentication and encryption, disable SNMP. Allowing SNMP access to the InfraStruXure PDU compromises the high security you implement by choosing SSL and SSH. To disable SNMP, you must be an Administrator; use the SNMP option of the Network menu.

FTP and SCP

You can use FTP (enabled by default) or Secure CoPy (SCP) to transfer new firmware to the InfraStruXure PDU, or to access a copy of the InfraStruXure PDU's event logs. SCP provides the higher security of encrypted data transmission and is enabled automatically when you enable SSH.

Note

If you enable SSL and SSH for their high-security authentication and encryption, disable FTP. Allowing file transfer to the InfraStruXure PDU through FTP compromises the high security you implement by choosing SSL and SSH. To disable FTP, use the FTP Server option of the Network menu (you must be an Administrator).

To access the InfraStruXure PDU through FTP or SCP, the default user name and password are apc and apc for an Administrator, or device and apc for a Device Manager. In the command line, use the IP address of the unit.

See also

See the InfraStruXure PDU's online Network Management User's Guide to use FTP or SCP to retrieve log files from the InfraStruXure PDU or to transfer firmware files to the InfraStruXure PDU.

How to Recover From a Lost Network Management Interface Password

Disregard the procedures in this section if you have the APC InfraStruXure Manager as part of your system. See the InfraStruXure Manager's Installation and Quick-Start manual for information on recovering from a lost password.

1. Select a serial port at the local computer, and disable any service that uses that port.
2. Connect the serial cable (APC part number 940-0103) to the selected port on the computer and to the console port on the InfraStruXure PDU monitoring unit.
3. Run a terminal program (such as HyperTerminal ^® ) on your computer and configure the selected port as follows:
   -9600 bps
4. 8 data bits
   -n o parity
5. 1 stop bit

6. no flow control

7. Press ENTER, repeatedly if necessary, to display the User Name prompt. If you are unable to display the User Name prompt, verify the following:

8. The serial port is not in use by another application.

9. The terminal settings are correct as specified in step 3.

10. The correct cable is being used as specified in step 2.

11. Press the Reset button on the InfraStruXure PDU monitoring unit. The Status LED will flash alternately orange and green. Press the Reset button on the InfraStruXure PDU monitoring unit a second time immediately while the LED is flashing to reset the user name and password to their defaults temporarily.

12. Press ENTER as many times as necessary to redisplay the User Name prompt, then use the default, apc, for the user name and password. (If you take longer than 30 seconds to log on after the User Name prompt is redisplayed, you must repeat step 5 and log on again.)

13. From the Control Console menu, select System, then User Manager.

14. Select Administrator, and change the User Name and Password settings, both of which are now defined as apc.

15. Press CTRL-C, log off, reconnect any serial cable you disconnected, and restart any service you disabled.

Customizing and Updating the PDU

Important Safety Instructions

APC does not recommend that you perform maintenance of the PDU while it is receiving input power. However, due to the critical nature of data center loads, this may occur. If you must perform maintenance while the PDU is receiving input power, observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of electric shock:

1. Never work alone.
2. Perform the maintenance only if you are a certified electrician who is trained in the hazards of live electrical installation.
3. Know the procedure for disconnecting electricity to the PDU and the data center in case of an emergency.
4. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
5. Use double-insulated tools.
6. Always follow local and site regulations when working on the PDU.

How to Add Circuit Breakers and Power Cables

Add a circuit breaker on the PDU

1. Snap and bolt the new circuit breaker into a position on the panel.
2. Remove the corresponding plastic blanking plate on the front panel of the PDU.

Add a power cable to the PDU

Before adding a power cable, add a circuit breaker.

1. Install a strain-relief connector in any available knockout on the roof of the PDU.
2. Slide enough of the power cable through the strain-relief connector to reach the new circuit breaker.
3. Tighten the strain-relief connector.

Technical illustration of a mechanical assembly with multiple pipes and circular components (no text or symbols)

If you must install at 20A or 30A power cable in a knockout designed for a 50A power cable, you must use reducing washers (included) to adjust the size of the hole.

If you are adding a power cable that will attach to a circuit breaker on the bottom circuit breaker panel, use a non-conductive fish tape to feed the power cable down the rectangular wireway (chute) in the center of the PDU. This will allow you to easily access the bottom circuit breaker panel.

1. At the front of the PDU, connect the power cord's individual wires:

a. If you have branch current monitoring installed, route the phase conductor through a current sensor. If it is a three-phase cable, route the L1, L2, and L3 wires through a current sensor.
b. Connect the L1, L2, and L3 wires to the circuit breaker(s). The illustration below shows single pole breakers; however, you can also connect three-pole breakers.
c. Connect the neutral wire to the closest open termination point on the Neutral Bar (N).
d. Connect the ground wire to the closest open termination point on the Ground Bar (G).

You can configure your InfraStruXure system through the InfraStruXure Build-Out Tool to use 3, 20 A, single-pole breakers to feed multi-circuit power cables supplying power to L-N loads. However, one 3-pole, 20A circuit breaker must be used with any power cable and Rack PDU that feeds L-L loads (NEC, NFPA 70).

How to Connect User Input Contacts and Relay Outputs to the User Connection Plate

Overview

Make contact closure connections (NO or NC) at the user connection plate to monitor dry contacts. You can make eight connections—four input contacts and four relay outputs.

The figure at the right shows the location of the user connection plate on the roof of the PDU enclosure.

You can make connections from inside the enclosure, or you can remove the user connection plate and make your connections.

Remove the plate using a Phillips or standard screwdriver to loosen the two captive screws. Use the knockout in the plate to route cables to and from the user connection on the plate. If you remove the plate, make sure that you do not disturb the existing connections.

How to connect contacts to the PDU monitoring unit

1. Choose one or more contact number on the User/EPO contacts port on the user connection plate to which you will connect the contacts. The user connection plate connects to the PDU monitoring unit.
2. From the PDU display interface:

a. Press the ESC or ENTER key to go to the top-level menu screen.
b. Select Contacts on the top-level menu screen, and press the ENTER key.

c. Select Contact Inputs (or Relay Outputs) and press ENTER to display the contact inputs (or relay outputs) screen.

d. Select Contact In and press the ENTER key to select the number of the contact you are connecting. The continue arrow will appear next to the contact number.

e. Press the Up or Down arrow key to select the appropriate contact number, and press the ENTER key.
f. Press the Down arrow key to enter a unique Name for the contact and to configure the Normal state of the contact (Open or Closed). The default Normal state is Open. Press the ENTER key to select the item to configure.

Note

You will be prompted for your password to configure these items.

1. Connect contact wires (300 V-rated cabling required) to the User Contacts terminal block on the user connection plate. You will need a 2.5-mm standard screwdriver.
2. Run the wires from the terminal block out the roof or under the floor of the PDU to your contact's location.

Ensure that wires are properly retained and away from high voltage lines and breakers.

See “Relay Outputs” on page 59 for relay output specifications.

APC offers an optional InfraStruXure EPO System (EPW9). Contact your APC sales representative, or visit the APC Web site (www.apc.com) for more information.

After a certified electrician has connected an EPO switch to the PDU monitoring unit by way of the user connection plate, you can easily test the switch to make sure it is wired and working properly. The illustration to the right shows the EPO functions on the front panel of the PDU monitoring unit.

① EPO DIP switches configure the EPO input for the type of EPO switch that is connected—Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC).

When the EPO Arm/Test rocker is in the Test position, engaging the EPO switch will not cause the load to be powered off. When the rocker is in the Armed position, engaging the EPO switch will cause the PDU's Main Input switch to be switched OFF.
③ The EPO Armed LED is green when the rocker is in the Armed position. The LED is dark when the rocker is in the Test position.
4 The EPO Tripped LED is red when the EPO switch is engaged (the EPO button is pressed), regardless of the state of the EPO Arm/Test rocker.

To test your EPO wiring and switches:

1. Place the Arm/Test switch in the Test position. The Armed LED will be dark and the PDU display interface will show the following alarm (in addition to any other active alarms):

Active Alarm xxofxx EPO Ready To Test

1. Engage the EPO switch. (If your switch is momentary, engage it with one person watching the EPO state LEDs, and another at the EPO switch.)

2. Observe the EPO LEDs. If the switch is wired and working properly, when the switch is engaged, the Tripped LED is red.

3. If the test was successful, place the Arm/Test switch back to the Arm position. The PDU display interface will clear the EPO test mode alarm. If the test was not successful, see the troubleshooting chart:

Problem Action
Neither state LED was red when EPO switch was engaged.	Check the wiring to your EPO switch.Check to make sure your EPO DIP switch configuration is correct for your switch (NO or NC).
Only one of the state LEDs was red when the EPO switch was engaged.	Check to make sure the EPO DIP switch configuration is correct for your switch (NO or NC) and test again.If the switch is configured correctly and both LEDs are not red after testing again, contact customer support at a number on the back cover of this manual.

1. Repeat this test for each EPO switch installed.
2. Ensure that the Arm/Test rocker switch is in the Arm position on the monitoring unit.

Safety warnings

Hazardous voltage from the branch circuit must be isolated from the 24VAC, 24VDC, and contact closure. 24VAC and 24VDC are considered Class 2 circuits as defined in Article 725 of the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) and Section 16 of the Canadian Electrical Code (C22.1).

A Class 2 circuit is a source having limited voltage and energy capacity as follows:

a. If an Inherently Limited Power Source, voltage and energy are limited to less than 30VAC, less than 30VDC, and 8A.
b. If not an Inherently Limited Power Source, voltage and energy are limited to less than 30VAC, less than 60VDC, 250VA, and the current is limited to 1000/Vmax. The fuse is limited to 5A if less than 20VAC or 20VDC, or 100/Vmaximum if less than 30VAC or 60VDC.

If you choose to use a 24VAC, 24VDC, or contact closure connection to the EPO, use one of the following UL-listed wire types:

• CL2 Class 2 cable for general purpose use
• CL2P Plenum cable for use in ducts, plenums, and other space used for environmental air
• CL2R Riser cable for use in a vertical run shaft from floor to floor
• CL2X Limited Use cable for use in dwellings and for use in a raceway
• For installation in Canada, the cable should be CSA Certified, type ELC (extra-low-voltage control cable).

If you do not use a CL2 cable, route the EPO wiring in conduit that does not contain any branch circuit wiring.

Upgrading the PDU monitor processor

You can download available PDU monitor processor upgrades through the PDU display interface. The most obvious indication that a firmware upgrade is necessary occurs when the Network Management Card and the monitor processor stop communicating. This lack of communication causes the PDU's data to no longer be available through the display interface, and a SysData Mismatch alarm to occur. When this alarm occurs, perform the following steps to upgrade the PDU monitor processor firmware:

1. Upgrade the PDU Network Management Card.

See also

For instructions on how to upgrade the PDU's Network Management Card, refer to the online Network Management User's Guide on the Utility CD provided with your InfraStruXure PDU.

1. At the PDU display interface, select Config, and then Firmware Updates. You will receive the following screen:

Press any key to download the upgrade.

Note

If you do not receive the SysData Mismatch alarm, but want to check for available upgrades, you can do so by performing step 2 in the procedure above.

From a local computer

See also

To download a firmware upgrade and transfer it to your PDU, see “File Transfers” in the InfraStruXure PDU’s online Network Management User’s Guide on the Utility CD.

1. Select a serial port at the local computer, and disable any service that uses that port.
2. Use the configuration cable to connect the selected port to the console port on the PDU monitoring unit.
3. Run a terminal program (such as HyperTerminal ^® ) and configure the port for 9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control. Save the changes.
4. Press ENTER twice to display the User Name prompt.

5. Enter your User Name and Password (both apc, for administrators only) and press the ENTER key.

6. From the Control Console menu, select System, then Tools, then File Transfer, then XMODEM.

7. The system will prompt you with Perform transfer with XMODEM -CRC? Type Yes and press ENTER.
8. The system will then prompt you to choose a transfer rate and to change your terminal settings to match the transfer rate. Press ENTER to set the PDU to accept the download.
9. In the terminal program, send the file using XMODEM protocol. Upon completion of the transfer, the console will prompt you to restore the baud rate to normal.

Do not interrupt the download.

The PDU network management interface will reboot when the download is complete.

Product Information

InfraStruXure Standard Warranty

APC warrants that all components of the InfraStruXure system will be free from defect in material and workmanship for a period of two years from the date of start up when start up has been performed by APC authorized service personnel*. If assembly services are included in the original purchase and are also performed by APC authorized service personnel, APC offers an additional year of parts warranty and the first year of on site Next Business Day coverage at no additional charge. I the event that the system fails to meet the forgoing warranty, APC shall repair or replace, at its sole discretion, any such defective parts. Under this warranty, APC will ship all parts to your site at no cost to be available for you the next business day after APC is notified of this requirement. If you choose to upgrade the system to include an on site contract, APC offers modular service packages to match your needs.

Each point product incorporated into the system has a separate factory warranty that is applied when sold as a standalone unit. When incorporated into an InfraStruXure solution, the unit will be covered by the InfraStruXure warranty. In cases where one warranty favors the customer over the other, the stronger of the two warranties will take precedence. The InfraStruXure factory warranty covers only those parts appearing on the bill of materials for that solution. Megawatt UPS systems are not covered under the InfraStruXure factory warranty.

Battery functionality is typically impacted by age and environmental conditions, and therefore certain requirements must be met by the end-user. Failure to adhere to these requirements may put the battery warranty at risk. APC-supplied batteries must always be kept (whether stored or installed) in a climate-controlled environment, and should be re-charged at a minimum of every three (3) months. The battery environment must be free of excessive moisture, construction dirt, corrosive elements, or other contaminants. The temperature range must be maintained at 41 to 95°F (5 to 35°C).
