Preliminary Information Features This booklet provides information on installing and operating Metered Rack Power Distribution Units (PDUs). Each PDU has a sensor that measures the current being used by the PDU and its attached devices, and can be monitored through the Web, Telnet, SSH, SNMP, or InfraStruXure Manager interfaces. Display interface The display interface on the PDU shows the aggregate current being used by the PDU and its attached devices.
Install the PDU Attach the cord retention trays pdu0123b Attach the cord retention trays to the PDU, using four flat-head screws (provided) per tray. Attach cords to the tray pdu0127b Attach a cord to the tray by looping the cord and securing it to the tray, using a wire tie (provided). Note Note 2 Each cord must be secured to the tray so that you can unplug it from the PDU without removing the wire tie.
Mounting options You can install the PDU in one of two ways: using toolless mounting pegs (provided) or mounting brackets (provided). The 1-U and 2-U horizontal PDUs must be mounted using the horizontal mounting brackets. Vertical mounting. • To install the PDU using the toolless mounting method, install it in the rear of the NetShelter® VX or SX Enclosure, in the cable channel directly behind the rear vertical mounting rails.
Bracket mounting Vertical mounting. To mount the PDU vertically in a NetShelter or any standard EIA-310 rack or enclosure: 1. Attach the vertical-mounting brackets to the PDU. Use only the supplied screws. pdu0344a Caution pdu0190b 2. Install the PDU on a vertical mounting rail in your rack or enclosure using the screws and cage nuts supplied with your enclosure.
Horizontal mounting. You can mount the PDU in a 19-inch NetShelter or other EIA-310-D standard 19-inch rack: 1. Choose a mounting position for the PDU with either the display or the rear facing out of the enclosure. pdu0352a 2. Attach the mounting brackets to the PDU, using the flat-head screws (provided). 3. Choose a location for the unit: Note The unit occupies one U-space. A notched hole (or a number, on newer enclosures) on the enclosure’s vertical rail indicates the middle of a U-space. a.
pdu0369a Recessed horizontal mounting. You can mount the PDU in a recessed configuration by attaching the brackets as shown in the following illustration of the PDU.

Link - Rx/Tx 10 /100 Amps Status Reset Metered Rack PDU Serial Port pdu0291a - OK - Warning - Overload Bank/phase indicator LEDs: • Indicate the bank/phase corresponding to the current listed in the digital display. • Indicate normal (green), warning (yellow), or alarm (red) condition. NOTE: If all indicator LEDs are lit, the Rack PDU is in use at its maximum capacity.
Quick Configuration Disregard the procedures in this section if you have APC InfraStruXure Manager as part of your system. See the InfraStruXure Caution Manager’s documentation for more information. Overview You must configure the following TCP/IP settings before the PDU can operate on a network: • IP address of the 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 PDU and that is usually running.
APC Device IP Configuration Wizard You can use the APC Device IP Configuration Wizard at a computer running Microsoft® Windows® 2000, Windows 2003, or Windows XP to configure the basic TCP/IP setting of a Rack PDU. Note Most software firewalls must be temporarily disabled for the Wizard to discover unconfigured PDUs 1. Insert the APC Metered and Switched Rack Power Distribution Units Utility CD into a computer on your network. 2.
BOOTP. You can use an RFC951-compliant BOOTP server to configure the TCP/IP settings for the PDU. If the BOOTP server is properly configured, the PDU’s default setting (DHCP & BOOTP) for TCP/IP configuration causes it to discover the BOOTP server. If a BOOTP server is unavailable, see “APC Device IP Configuration Wizard” on page 9, “Local access to the control console” on page 12, or “Remote access to the control console” on page 13 to configure TCP/IP settings. 1.
DHCP. You can use a RFC2131/RFC2132compliant DHCP server to configure the TCP/IP settings for the PDU. This section summarizes the PDU communication with a DHCP server. For more detail about how a DHCP See also server is used to configure the network settings for the PDU, see “DHCP Configuration Settings” in the User’s Guide. 1.
Local access to the control console You can use a local computer to connect to the 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 serial cable (940-0144) to connect the selected port to the serial port on the front panel of the PDU. 3. Run a terminal program (such as HyperTerminal®) and configure the selected port for 9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control, and save the changes. 4.
Remote access to the control console From any computer on the same subnet as the PDU, you can use ARP and Ping to assign an IP address to the PDU, and then use Telnet to access that PDU’s control console and configure the needed TCP/IP settings. Note After the PDU has its IP address configured, you can use Telnet, without first using ARP and Ping, to access that PDU. 1. Use ARP to define an IP address for the PDU, and use the PDU ’s MAC address in the ARP command.
Control console After you log on at the control console, as described in “Local access to the control console” on page 12 or “Remote access to the control console” on page 13: 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.
Access a Configured PDU Overview After the PDU is running on your network, you can use the interfaces summarized here to access the unit. For more information on the interfaces, see the User’s Guide. See also Web interface Use Microsoft® Internet Explorer (IE) 5.5 or higher (on Windows operating systems only), Firefox, version 1.x, by Mozilla Corporation (on all operating systems), or Netscape ® 7.x or higher (on all operating systems) to access the PDU through its Web interface.
Telnet and SSH You can access the control console through Telnet or Secure SHell (SSH), depending on which is enabled. (On the Administration tab, select Network on the top menu bar and select Access under the Console heading on the left navigation menu to enable these access methods.) By default, Telnet is enabled. Enabling SSH automatically disables Telnet. Telnet for basic access.
FTP and SCP You can use FTP (enabled by default) or Secure CoPy (SCP) to transfer downloaded firmware to the PDU, or to access a copy of the PDU’s event or data logs. To use InfraStruXure Manager to manage a PDU, you must have FTP Server enabled in the PDU interface. To enable or disable FTP Server access, you must be an Administrator. Select the Administration tab, select the Network menu on the top menu bar, and use the FTP Server option on the left navigation menu.
How to Recover From a Lost Password You can use a local computer, a computer that connects to the 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 serial cable (940-0144) to the selected port on the computer and to the configuration port at the PDU. 3.
How to Update Firmware To obtain firmware for your PDU, download the latest firmware revision from www.apc.com/tools/download on the APC Web site. For a complete description on how to transfer a downloaded firmware upgrade to your PDU, see “File See also Transfers” in the Metered Rack PDU User’s Guide on the provided APC Metered and Switched Rack Power Distribution Units Utility CD and also available from the APC web site. Caution Note Do not interrupt the transfer.
