Rack Power Distribution Unit 3
Safety and Grounding
Read the following information before installing or operating your
Power Distribution Unit (PDU):
• The PDU is intended only for use with four-wire grounded
connections on APC Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPSs). Do
not plug the PDU into an electrical outlet or other device.
• This PDU is intended for indoor use only.
• Do not install this PDU where excessive moisture or heat is
present.
• Never install any wiring, equipment, or PDUs during a lightning
storm.
• Do not use extension cords or adapters with this PDU.
• Do not work alone under hazardous conditions.
• Check that the power cord, plug, and socket are in good condition.
• Disconnect the PDU from the power outlet before you install or
connect equipment to reduce the risk of electric shock when you
cannot verify grounding. Reconnect the PDU to the power outlet
only after you make all connections.
• Install the PDU so that the power plug may be disconnected for
service.
• Install the PDU so that there is not an uneven mechanical load.
• Follow the nameplate ratings when connecting equipment to the
supply circuit. Do not overload the circuits. An overload condition
could put your over-current protection at risk or cause problems
with your supply wiring.

Risk of electrical shock. Use only the supplied hardware to
attach the mounting brackets.
Note
The Rack PDUs are to be used only with InfraStruXure
Type A systems.

Plug layout
Remove the plug 1. Loosen, but do not remove, the four captive screws from the plug
face until it is detatched from the plug.
2. Loosen, but do not remove, the four screws from the sides of the
plug until the cord easily slides in and out.
3. Slide the plug case down the cord to your desired length.
4. Loosen, but do not remove, all four terminal screws until you can
remove all four wires from the plug. Set the plug face aside for
later use.

Rack Power Distribution Unit 5
Cut the cord 1. Cut the outer cord sleeve to the desired length. Be careful not to cut
through the four wire bundles. The cord must remain at least
4.9 feet (58.8 inches) long from unit to end. Remove the cut sleeve
from the wire bundles.
2. Cut each wire bundle, making sure each is approximately 1.5
inches from the end of the cord sleeve.
3. Strip approximately 0.5 inches of insulation from each wire
bundle.
Reassemble the plug 1. Twist together any loose wires.
2. Fully insert each wire into its coordinating terminal on the plug
face before you tighten the terminal screw.
3. Tighten the terminal screws to a minimum torque of 18 inch-
pounds.
4. Slide the plastic plug case back around the face of the plug. Align
the tab on the case with the corresponding opening on the plug
face. Secure the case by tightening two of the screws in the side of
the case to a minimum torque of 10 inch-pounds.
5. Reattach the strain relief to the plug, using the remaining two
screws. Tighten the screws to a torque of 16 to 20 inch-pounds.
Note
Insert only the bare copper wires into the terminals.
Do not tin the wires that hold the strands together.

Use a multimeter and the following graphics to verify continuity
between the test points .
Continuity is achieved with a measurement of less than or equal to 1 Ohm.
Use the probes of the multimeter to verify continuity between the
following points on the plug prongs and the slots on the outlets:
• Ground (J) on the plug and Ground (J) on the outlet
• Neutral (Q) on the plug and Neutral (Q) on the outlet

How to Install the PDU
Mounting options Install the PDU in the bottom 2U of a NetShelter®or any standard
19-inch EIA-310-D rack or enclosure, using the mounting brackets
(provided).
Bracket-mounting 1. Attach the mounting brackets to the PDU, using four flat-head
screws per bracket (provided).
- To mount the PDU with the outlets facing out of the rack:
- To mount the PDU with the outlets facing the top of the rack:
Note
The PDU can be installed in one of two ways, with the outlets
facing out of the rack or toward the roof of the rack.
Note
The PDU is intended only for use with an APC UPS. Do not
plug it into an electrical outlet or another device.

How to Install the PDU
10 Rack Power Distribution Unit
2. Choose a location for the PDU.
a. Insert a caged nut (provided with the enclosure) above and
below a notched hole on each vertical mounting rail in your
chosen location.
b. Align the mounting holes of the brackets with the installed
caged nuts. Insert and tighten the screws.
Connect to an APC UPS 1. Route the power cord through one of the slots on the roof of the
enclosure.
2. If necessary, route the PDU cord across a ladder connected to the
enclosure to connect to an UPS.
3. Plug the PDU into the L14 outlet on the rear of the UPS.
Note
The PDU occupies two U-spaces. The numbers on the
enclosure’s vertical rail denote the middle of a U-space.
