Safety Precautions
This section contains important safety and regulatory information that should be reviewed before installing and using the
Sentry Rack-Mount Fail-Safe Transfer Switch. For input and output current ratings, see Power Ratings in Appendix A:
Technical Specifications.
Only for installation and use in a
Restricted Access Location in accordance
with the following installation and use
instructions.
Destiné à l'installation et l'utilisation dans
le cadre de Restricted Access Location
selon les instructions d'installation et
d'utilisation.
Nur für Installation und Gebrauch in eingeschränkten
Betriebszonen gemäß der folgenden Installations-und
Gebrauchsanweisungen.
This equipment is designed to be installed
on a dedicated circuit. Cet équipement est conçu à être installé
sur un circuit spécialisé. Diese Ausrüstung ist zur Installation in einem festen Stromkreis vorgesehen.
Dedicated circuit must have circuit breaker
or fuse protection.
CDUs have been designed without a
master circuit breaker or fuse to avoid
becoming a single point of failure. It is the
customer’s responsibility to provide
adequate protection for the dedicated
power circuit. Protection of capacity equal
to the current rating of the CDU must be
provided and must meet all applicable
codes and regulations. In North
American, protection must have a 10,000A
interrupt capacity.
Le circuit spécialisé doit avoir un
disjoncteur ou une protection de
fusible. CDUs ont été conçus sans
disjoncteur général ni fusible pour éviter
que cela devient un seul endroit de
panne. C’est la responsabilité du client
de fournir une protection adéquate pour le
circuit-alimentation spécialisé. Protection
de capacité équivalant à la puissance de
l'équipement, et respectant tous les codes
et normes applicables. Les disjoncteurs
ou fusibles destinés à l'installation en
Amérique du Nord doivent avoir une
capacité d'interruption de 10.000 A.
Der feste Stromkreis muss mit einem Schutzschalter
oder einem Sicherungsschutz versehen sein.
CDUs verfügt über keinen Hauptschutzschalter bzw.
über keine Sicherung, damit kein einzelner
Fehlerpunkt entstehen kann. Der Kunde ist dafür
verantwortlich, den Stromkreis sachgemäß zu
schützen. Der Kapazitätsschutz entspricht der
aktuellen Stromstärke der Geräte und muss alle
relevanten Codes und Bestimmungen erfüllen. Für
Installation in Nordamerika müssen Ausschalter bzw.
Sicherung über 10.000 A Unterbrechungskapazität
verfügen.
The plug on the power supply cord shall
be installed near the equipment and shall
be easily accessible.
La prise sur le cordon d’alimentation sera
installée près de l’équipement et sera
facilement disponible.
Der Stecker des Netzkabels muss in der Nähe der
Ausrüstung installiert werden und leicht zugänglich
sein.
Installation Orientation: Cx-xxVx-x units
are design to be installed in vertical
orientation.
Installation Orientation : Les unités Cx-
xxVx-x sont conçues pour être installées

Always disconnect the power supply cord
before opening to avoid electrical shock. Toujours déconnecter le cordon
d’alimentation avant d’ouvrir pour éviter
un choque électrique.
Vor dem Offnen immer Netzleitung abziehen um
elektrischen Schlag zu vermeiden.
WARNING! High leakage current! Earth
connection is essential before connecting
supply!
ATTENTION ! Haut fuite très possible !
Une connection de masse est essentielle
avant de connecter l’alimentation !
ACHTUNG! Hoher Ableitstrom! Ein Erdungsanschluss
ist vor dem Einschalten der Stromzufuhr erforderlich!

Products rated for 240/415VAC may be
fitted with a plug that is rated for a higher
voltage. Caution must be taken to assure
that the rating of the unit and the supply
voltage match.

Produkte die für 240/415VAC zugelassen sind können
mit einem Stecker der für eine höhere Spannung
ausgestattet sein. Vorsicht ist geboten, um
sicherzustellen, dass die erlaubten Betriebswerte des
Gerätes und der Versorgungsspannung zueinander
passen.
6Installation Basic Cabinet Distribution Unit
Installation Manual

Installing the Power Input Retention Bracket
For units with a total maximum output <30A, it may be necessary to install
the power input retention bracket prior to mounting the unit within the
rack.
To install the power input retention bracket:
1. Remove the two screws attaching the IEC 60320 C19 inlet to the
enclosure.
2. Assemble and attach the retention bracket to the enclosure as shown.
Figure 2.1 Retention Bracket Assembly
Mounting
Figure 2.2 Mounting
Horizontal/Rack
1. Select the appropriate bracket mounting points for proper mounting depth within the rack.
2. Attach the brackets to these mounting points with two screws for each bracket.
3. Install the enclosure into your rack, using the slots in each bracket. The slots allow about ¼ inch of horizontal
adaptability to align with the mounting holes of your rack.
Vertical
1. Attach the removable flanges to the mount points on the rear of the enclosure using M4 screws.
OR
2. Attach the mounting L-brackets to these mounting points with two screws for each bracket.
3. Attach the top and bottom brackets to your rack.
NOTE: Contact your Server Technology Sales Representative for information regarding custom bracket design and fabrication services if you are
unable to find a suitable manner for utilizing the included mounting brackets.
NOTE: Contact your Server Technology Sales Representative for information regarding optional button mounts for mounting the CDU into
supporting cabinets.

Installation Manual

Connecting to the Power Source
On 30A units, the input power cord is attached to the base of the unit. On units with a total maximum output <30A, you
must first attach the power cord to the unit before connecting the unit to the power source.
To attach a power cord to the unit:
1. Plug the female end of the power cord firmly into its connector at the base.
2. Use a screwdriver to tighten the two screws on the retention bracket.
To connect to the power source:
Plug the male end of the power cord into the AC power source.
Connecting Devices
To avoid the possibility of noise due to arcing:
1. Keep the device’s on/off switch in the off position until after it is plugged into the outlet.
2. Connect devices to the CDU outlets.
NOTE: Server Technology recommends even distribution of attached devices across all available outlets to avoid exceeding the outlet, branch or
phase limitations. See Power Ratings on page 9for more information.
Always disconnect ALL power supply cords before opening to avoid electrical shock.
Afin d’éviter les chocs électriques, débranchez TOUTES les cables électrique avant d’ouvrir.
Vor dem Offnen immer Netzleitungen abziehen um elektrischen Schlag zu vermeiden.
