Chapter 2 – Installing the ePower PDU
10 ePower Power Distribution Unit User Manual, Revision 1.1
Installing the ePower Hardware
Prior to power up and configuration, the ePower PDU must first be
rack-mounted on the network/data rack where it will be used.
Cautions
CAUTION Refer to the Safety Instructions section, prior to rack-mounting
the ePower unit.
CAUTION When installing the ePower PDU in a network/data rack,
note the following safety and precautionary guidelines:
• Use only the provided mounting hardware.
• Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature – If the ePower unit
is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating
ambient temperature of the rack environment might be greater
than room ambient temperature. Therefore, consideration should
be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible
with the maximum ambient temperature specified in the Operating
Environment section in Chapter 1, “Hardware Overview.”
• Reduced Air Flow – Equipment should be installed such that the amount
of air flow required for safe equipment operation is not compromised.
• Mechanical Loading – Equipment should be mounted such that a
hazardous condition is not incurred due to uneven mechanical loading.
• Do not insert anything other than Cyber Switching-supplied screws into
the mounting holes that hold the buttonhooks, located on the back side
of the ePower PDU. Inserting other objects voids the warranty and poses
a shock hazard and/or shorting risk.
• Avoid installing the ePower PDU in areas where spray or liquids can enter
or adhere to it.
