Optima 829 Series
1.5 General Description
The Optima 829 Series (model numbers MPD 829XXX) is a family of 32 power distribution units (PDUs) designed for use
with a single-phase supply power of either 120 Vac, 110–240 Vac, or 200–240 Vac.
Each PDU receives mains power through an inlet located at the bottom. Power is distributed to all outlets on one, two, or
three branches depending on the model. A variety of inlet and outlet connectors is available.
All models include a circuit breaker, indicator, surge suppression, and Marway’s RCM™ networking control system to
provide individual outlet switching over Ethernet®. Additionally, an optional inlet power monitoring system with digital
display and keypad is available.
All models are constructed of a steel chassis, and designed for xed mounting within a 1U rack space in an EIA-310
compliant rack enclosure.
1.6 Product Models
Models are primarily organized by size (full height and short height), then by the outlet congurations. Marway’s Standard

2 Installation
2.1 Installation Notes
The following guidance must be followed for proper
installation of the product.
1. Mounting: This product is designed for mounting
in an EIA-310 compliant 19” rack. The user is
responsible for ensuring the mounting method
provides adequate structural support for the
product, and any attached cables. The user
is also responsible for ensuring the mounting
location provides adequate ventilation to
dissipate heat generated during operation of the
product. Ensure the product is securely mounted
before applying power.
2. There are multiple mounting congurations
derived from the relocatable positioning of the
provided mounting plates, and the positioning of
the tool-less mounting buttons (concentric circles
shown in red). Model-specic details available
from the Product Selector on our web site.
3. Chassis ground: The rear of the chassis includes
a redundant chassis ground screw and ground
wire. If desired for your installation location,
connect the chassis ground wire to the rack
cabinet using an appropriate fastener.
4. Optionally, connect the appropriate cables between the PDU outlets and the equipment being powered by the PDU.
This may be done later according to the startup procedures suitable to the end-user’s equipment and application.
5. If applicable, connect the cabling between the PDU and remote EPO control panel.
6. PDU Main Breaker: Ensure the Main Breaker on the front of the PDU is in the off position before connecting the
PDU’s inlet cable to the facility power source. (It is best to switch all breakers to the off position.)
7. Facility Power Source: The single-phase facility power source for this product must include an overcurrent protective
device capacity as dened in the table below:

Your model may have 1 or 2 branch breakers. Your model may or may not have a power meter.
3.1 Startup
In order to monitor or control the system over Ethernet, it will need to be congured to run on your specic network.
However, to perform an electrical or installation validation test, or even to run the system indenitely without the use of
the network, the unit can be run without rst conguring the software.
By default, the system will enable all outlets, though it may take a minute or so before outlets are switched on after
power is applied. This delay is caused by the software system starting up, and eventually setting the state of each relay
according to congurable settings.
In the sections below, a startup process is described suitable for rst-time network setup, or running without the software.
The breaker(s) can be used to manually cut power from the outlets. However, even with the circuit
breaker(s) Off, as soon as the inlet of the PDU is plugged into a live facility outlet, the control system
of the PDU is powered, and the software will start running.
3.1.1 Startup Without Conguring the Software
It is assumed the PDU is not plugged into the facility power source.
1. Switch all breakers on the PDU control panel to the Off position.
2. If there is a facility disconnect switch for the PDU inlet, switch that Off.
3. Insert the PDU’s inlet connector into the facility mains power source. If there is a facility power disconnect, switch that
to the On position.
7.1. At this point, the PDU control system is energized. Outlets will not have power, because the PDU’s breaker(s)
are off, but the software will begin its startup process. The default factory setting congures the software to
switch the outlet relays on, however, while the breaker(s) are off, power is not actually delivered to the outlets.
Allow about a minute for the software to switch on the relays.
4. Switch the breaker(s) to the On position, and the indicator(s) will be lit. This indicator does not necessarily mean power
is applied to the outlets. It simply means the breaker is on and power is available to that branch’s outlets. The internal
outlet control relays are able to prevent power from reaching the outlets. However, with a factory default setup, power
should now be applied to all outlets.
The PDU can continue to be used in this way as long as needed. The software can be congured later, or can be left
uncongured if it will not be used.

3.1.2 Startup to Congure the Software
The document Optima RCM User Guide : Software and Basic Controls Reference located on our website at http://www.
marway.com/docs is the complete resource for the process of conguring the network settings, and other software
features of the PDU. Obtain that document, and review the Getting Started chapter.
In effect, prepare the Serial and Ethernet connections to the PDU as described in the Software Guide, then use the
startup process described above in “3.1.1 Startup Without Conguring the Software” on page 8.
3.2 Ethernet and Serial Control
The document Optima RCM User Guide : Software and Basic Controls Reference located on our website at http://www.
marway.com/docs is the complete resource for how to setup, congure, and operate the Optima RCM software over serial,
Telnet, SSH, HTTP, SNMP, and RESTful API.
The Ethernet connection supports 10/100 Base-T, IPv4 DHCP and manual addressing. It is recommended to use a
manual address, or DHCP in conjunction with MAC ID reservations so that the IP address stays consistent.
The Serial interface is RS-232 implemented in an RJ45 connector. A protocol conversion cable with a USB connection at
one end and an RJ45 at the other end is ideal for connecting a computer to the Serial port. Marway offers these cables as
part number 311118-000. They can also be found on many online cable retailer web sites.
3.3 Breakers
Various models have one or two breakers.
When there is a single breaker, in effect this behaves like a main breaker, protecting the whole unit, and providing on/off
control for the whole unit.
When there are two breakers, each breaker protects one group of outlets. Outlets are organized into identical groups.
Following the length of the PDU from the inlet, the rst breaker operates the rst group of outlets, etc.
Each breaker has it’s own indicator. When lit, power is being supplied to the correlating outlet group.
All models use 2-pole breakers with both line and neutral routed through the breaker.
3.4 Digital Power Meter Option
If the PDU is equipped with an inlet power monitoring system, the front control panel will include a digital display and
keypad.
The display will default to showing the amperage being drawn by the system as a whole (all outlets, plus the internal
control system). It will update approximately every 3 seconds.
The keypad can be used to navigate through power values for volts, amps, watts, voltamps, voltamps reactive, power
factor, and Hertz.
For complete display and keypad details, refer to the document Optima RCM User Guide : Software and Basic Controls
Reference located on our website at http://www.marway.com/docs. Obtain that document, and review the Display and
Keypad Operation c
