INSTALLATION GUIDE
iNC Network Controller Module – Horizontal PDU’s (MA005)

SmartZone G5 iPDU series of intelligent power distribution units. It is the “brain” of the PDU that contains the most
complicated and sensitive electronic sub-systems. It is designed for safe removal without disrupting the PDU
hardware operation.
Note: The iNC Network Control Modules are designed to connect to a SmartZone G5 iPDU only. Connecting it to
another device may result in damage.
