Safety Overview Save these instructions This manual contains important instructions that must be followed during installation, operation, and maintenance of the InfraStruXure System. Safety symbols used in this manual Electrical Hazard Indicates an electrical hazard, which, if not avoided, could result in injury or death. Indicates a hazard, which, if not avoided, could result in personal injury or damage to product or other property.
Warnings Receiving/moving Do not tilt the PDU greater than 45° from its vertical axis. Never lay the PDU on its side. Installation/Maintenance Only a certified electrician can: • Connect the PDU to its power source • Connect a switch to the EPO interface on the PDU • Install a customer-specified, hard-wired power cable Only a certified electrician or an APC Field Service Engineer can perform maintenance of the PDU.
Safety: Warnings Total Power Off 1. Set the PDU Main Input to OFF. 2. Set the upstream power source feeding the PDU to OFF. 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).

Space Considerations Study the figure below to determine your space requirements for installing the InfraStruXure PDU. Consult your local codes and the NEC for additional requirements.
Weight Considerations Ensure that the floor and sub-floor can support the total weight of the configuration when concentrated on the leveling feet. If you are placing equipment on a raised floor, consult the flooring manufacturer for loading requirements before installing equipment.
Heat Output Consider the heat dissipation ratings of equipment to determine cooling requirements. Additional cooling equipment may be required. Heat output of the InfraStruXure PDU is shown below. Voltage InfraStruXure PDU with a transformer 208V input 7169 BTU/hr (2.10kW) 480V input 7412 BTU/hr (2.17kW) 600V input 4894 BTU/hr (1.43kW) The heat output is higher while batteries are charging. Under normal operating conditions, battery recharging periods are infrequent.
Electrical Requirements and Specifications Procedures requiring a licensed electrician Procedures requiring a licensed electrician include: • Connection of utility conductors Electrical Hazard • Installation of a 225-, 90-, or 75-amp circuit breaker • Connection to the Main Input switch • Wiring under the floor To connect utility conductors, see Certified Electrician’s Instructions included with your PDU documentation.
Emergency Power Off (EPO) Overview To provide a mechanism for emergency power off, attach a remote switch to the EPO interface on the PDU monitoring unit through the user connection plate. The EPO interface () is connected to the PDU Main Input switch () and to the UPS internal EPO switch (). Sw itch PDU UPS When the EPO is activated, the main input breaker to the PDU transformer is opened, the UPS DC Disconnect breaker is opened, and the UPS System Enable switch is turned off.
Basic Installation Procedure This section provides the basic steps that you need to perform when installing InfraStruXure power and rack components. Follow the references provided with each step for detailed instructions. Do not begin installing your InfraStruXure system without an APC Field Service Engineer present. Warning 1.

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.
Install Shielding Troughs, Shielding Partitions, and Cable Ladders Shielding Troughs and Shielding Partitions for overhead wiring along rows If you ordered APC Shielding Troughs, Shielding Partitions, and Cable Ladders to route overhead wiring for your system, assemble the Shielding Troughs and the Shielding Partitions along the rows of enclosures and assemble the Cable Ladders between rows See also For detailed installation and grounding instructions, see the instruction sheet included with the Shielding
Installation Procedures: Install Shielding Troughs, Shielding Partitions, Shielding Partitions. There are two types of Shielding Partitions, each of which forms a side wall of a trough for data cables. You can customize the width of the trough for each row of your system — wider for rows carrying many data cables, narrower for rows carrying fewer. • As the back wall, use a Shielding Partition that contains an opening for routing data cables.
Install InfraStruXure Rack-Mount Devices Install the Rack Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS) Install a Rack ATS in the top of each enclosure for overhead wiring, and in the bottom of each enclosure for wiring under the floor. See the installation instructions in the manual included with your Rack ATS. See also The Rack ATS is an optional component and not all InfraStruXure systems will include them.
Route and Attach Overhead Wiring Route and attach power cables to equipment racks If you ordered overhead wiring, connect the prewired power cables of the PDU as follows: 1. Install the Shielding Troughs, Shielding Partitions, and Cable Ladders so that you can route power cables from the PDU to the NetShelter VX Enclosures. For installation instructions, see the manual included with your Shielding Troughs, Shielding Partitions, and Cable Ladders. See also 2.
Installation Procedures: Route and Attach Overhead Wiring – For dual-feed devices within a redundant system: attach a power cable from each PDUto two different Rack PDUs in the NetShelter VX Enclosure. – For single-feed devices within a redundant system with an Automatic Transfer Switch: connect a power cable to the Automatic Transfer Switch (A and B feeds) and connect the Automatic Transfer Switch power cord to a Rack PDU in the NetShelter VX Enclosure.
Installation Procedures: Route and Attach Overhead Wiring 5. From each NetShelter VX Enclosure, run the power cable of the appropriate APC power management device out the roof of the enclosure, through the notch in the rear side of the Shielding Trough, to the connector of the appropriate power cable from the PDU. Plug the two connectors together, and twist them clockwise to lock.
Wiring Under the Floor Electrical Hazard A licensed electrician must route and connect the power cables for under-floor wiring. Make sure all wire connections and circuit breaker connections are properly torqued. Warning If you are routing power cables to the enclosures under a raised floor, you must provide the appropriate power cables and equipment for installation, and a licensed electrician must route and connect the power cables to the PDU circuit breakers.
Installation Procedures: Wiring Under the Floor 5. At the circuit breaker panel, cut the wires to the proper length, and connect the power cable’s individual wires: a. If you have branch current monitoring installed, route each phase conductor through a current sensor. If it is a three-phase cable, route the L1, L2, and L3 wires through a separate current sensor. b. Connect the L1, L2, and L3 wires to the circuit breaker(s).
Route Data Cables to the InfraStruXure Manager Hub (or Switch) 1. Connect a Cat-5 network cable (provided) to the network or 10Base-T ports on your APC InfraStruXure devices.
Start-Up Procedure Safety warnings This section provides instructions on how to perform a system start-up. Do not skip any steps in this procedure. Electrical Hazard Electrical Hazard Only APC Field Service Engineers or qualified, APC-trained personnel may perform a system start-up. Before you proceed, ensure that power is off by following the procedure in this section. Ensure that all power is off 1. Set the PDU Main Input to OFF. 2.
Start-Up Procedure: InfraStruXure System Apply power to the system 1. Set the upstream input circuit breaker (utility or UPS) to ON. 2. Ensure A-B-C clockwise phase rotation at the top of the Main Input on the PDU, using a phase rotation meter. 3. Set the Main Input on the PDU to ON. 4. Verify A-B-C clockwise phase rotation at the top of the primary winding of the transformer, using a phase rotation meter. 5.
Start-Up Procedure: InfraStruXure System 6. If applicable, set the Main Output circuit breaker on the PDU to ON. When the Main Output circuit breaker is closed, the power distribution circuit breaker panels are energized. Note 7. Close (turn ON) the PDU distribution panel circuit breakers. When the distribution panel circuit breakers are closed, the PDU power cables and connected equipment are energized.
Configure the InfraStruXure Manager Once all equipment is installed, the network cables are connected to the InfraStruXure Manager hub (or switch), and start-up of the system is complete, configure the InfraStruXure Manager. For instructions, see the InfraStruXure Manager Installation and Quick-Start manual included with your InfraStruXure Manager.
