Live maintenance precautions
APC does NOT recommend performing live maintenance to the MBP with Power Distribution.
However, APC is aware that due to the critical nature of data center loads, live maintenance may occur.
If providing live maintenance, observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of electrical shock.
Caution:
1.Never work alone.
2.Only a certified electrician who is trained in the hazards of live electrical installation should
perform the maintenance.
3.Know the procedure for disconnecting electricity to the MBP in the event of an emergency.
4.Wear appropriate protective clothing and other body equipment. Be sure to use rubberinsulated gloves and rubber-insulated boots.
5.Use double-insulated tools. If double-insulated tools are not available, insulate all tools
with electrical tape.
6.Use electrical tape to insulate any non-insulated conductive parts.
7.Always follow local codes and site regulations when working on the MBP.

Note: Front door removal is NOT a requirement for this installation. However, removing the
door will allow better access to the internal components.
1. Place the MBP on its back such that its front door is facing straight up.
2. Use the enclosed keys to unlock and then open the front door.
3. Disconnect the internal ground cable from the ground stud on the door. Use an M10 nut driver to
remove the M6 flange nut securing the cable to the stud.
4. Using your thumb and forefinger, pull the three rubber plugs off the bottom ends of the three
hinge clips.
5. Using pliers, remove the three hinge clips connecting the door to the enclosure.
6. Remove the door. Store the door and all hardware in a safe location for later re-attachment.

APC by Schneider Electric recommends mounting the MBP to 3/4 inches plywood backing (36 in
[914mm] high x 28 in [711mm] wide).
1. Attach the 3/4 inches plywood securely to the designated wall area. The wall should be strong
enough to support the 120lb [54.5kg] MBP. Leave at least 18in [457mm] of space between the
floor and the bottom of the plywood. Use appropriate hardware for the type of wall employed.
2. Measure and mark four (4) mounting-hole locations on the plywood backing. The locations will
be in the shape of a rectangle measuring 25.94in [659mm] across and 33.86in [860mm] down.
3. Drill starter holes in each of the four marked locations.
4. At least three people are needed to lift the MBP and position it against the plywood backing. Line
up the MBP’s four mounting holes with the four drilled starter holes.
5. Screw four (4) 1/4 x 1 inches hex-head lag bolts, along with four (4) 1/4 inches flat washers, into
the holes. Use a 1/2 inches socket with ratchet and tighten until rigid.

Note: Utility cables can enter through the top or the bottom of the MBP. However, BOTTOM
is recommended.
External cables can enter the MBP through any of the available 1-inch [25.4mm] knockouts, or by
making larger cutouts in the top or bottom plates of the enclosure. Each plate offers 22 knockouts and the
ability to create up to four (4) 2-inch [50.8mm] cutouts.
Prior to making any of the following external cable connections, establish an appropriate point of access
by knocking out a 1-inch hole or cutting a larger hole in the top or bottom plate. The plate can be
removed using a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the 12 screws securing it to the enclosure. An M10 nut
driver is needed to remove the M6 flange nut securing the ground cable to the plate’s ground stud.
The cables are typically color coded: L1 = black, L2 = red, L3 = blue, N = white, and G = green.
Utility connections.
1. Connect the four inputs [L1, L2, L3, N, top-to-bottom] from the Utility to the Power Terminal
Block. Use a standard (flathead) screwdriver and torque to 60in-lbs [7Nm].
2. Connect the one ground input [G] from the Utility to the Ground Terminal Compression Lug.
Place the cable end in the bottom section of the compression lug, and then use a standard
(flathead) screwdriver and torque to 240in-lbs [27Nm].

Note: This section applies only if the front door was removed at the start of the installation
process. If you chose not to remove the door, ignore this section.
Re-attaching the front door requires at least two people: one to hold the door in place, and the
other to make the necessary hardware connections.
1. Holding the door at an angle to the MBP enclosure, re-insert the three hinge clips into the three
door hinges.
2. Using your thumb and forefinger, push the three rubber plugs onto the bottom ends of the three
hinge clips.
3. Keeping the door open, re-connect the internal ground cable to the ground stud on the inside of
the door. Place the M6 flange nut over the cable lug on the stud. Use an M10 nut driver and
torque to 120in-lbs [14Nm].
4. Close and lock the front door.

This section describes how to install breakers to the MBP’s 42-position panel board.
Electrical Hazard: Before installing breakers, make sure ALL MBP switches are in the
OFF position. From normal operation, first switch Q2 OFF, and then switch Q1 OFF.
1. Use the enclosed keys to unlock and open the front door of the MBP.
2. Select the next available breaker position(s) on the panel board, and then snap the new 1-, 2-, or
3-pole breaker into the appropriate guard rail.
Note: The panel board supports Square D
®
bolt-on circuit breakers. For a listing of
recommended breakers, refer to “Panel board breakers” on page 7.
The top pole of a 3-pole breaker must always be placed in an L1 position on the panel board.
Counting down from the top, these are positions 1, 7, 13, 19, etc. on the left side of the board
and positions 2, 8, 14, 20, etc. on the right side of the board.
1. Make the bolt-on connections (those nearer the center of the panel board). Use a standard
(flathead) screwdriver and torque to 24in-lbs [3Nm].
2. Remove the corresponding plastic blanking plate(s) located directly in front of the newly
installed breaker. The blanking plates can be accessed through the smaller, hinged “panel board”
door at the front of the MBP. Use one of the front door keys to open this door.
Note: After installation, panel board breakers can be accessed by simply opening the panel
board hinged door.

Warning: Before changing fuses, make sure ALL MBP switches are in the OFF
position. From normal operation, first switch Q2 OFF, and then switch Q1 OFF.
Note: Replace ALL blown fuses with Bussmann “Class J” 90 Amp fuses (p/n JKS-90).
Removing fuses
1. Open the front door of the MBP to access the fuse block. Use the enclosed front door keys.
2. Using a plastic or insulated fuse puller, tightly grasp the center section of the blown fuse.
3. Pull the fuse toward you, forcing its release from the two sets of spring clasps.
Replacing fuses
1. Using a plastic or insulated fuse puller, tightly grasp the center portion of the replacement fuse.
2. Align the fuse’s metallic ends with the two sets of spring clasps that will hold it in place.
3. Push the fuse into the two sets of clasps until the clasps snap around the metallic ends.
4. Close and lock the front door.
Note: After changing fuses, the MBP can be returned to normal operation by first switching
Q2 ON, and then switching Q1 ON. Q3 remains OFF.
