Warnings
Receiving/moving
Do not tilt the PDU greater than 45° from its vertical axis. Never lay the PDU on its side.
Installation/Maintenance
Only a certified electrician can:
• Connect the PDU to its power source
• Connect a switch to the EPO interface on the PDU
• Install a customer-specified, hard-wired power cable
Only a certified electrician or an APC Field Service Engineer can perform maintenance of the PDU.
When you connect the PDU to its power source, you must install a circuit breaker to protect the PDU
against over-current. Determine the type of circuit breaker that you need to install:
Input Voltage Circuit Breaker Sizing
208V 225A
480V 90A
600V 75A
Maintenance performed while the PDU is receiving input power
APC does not recommend that you perform maintenance of the PDU while it is receiving input
power. However, due to the critical nature of data center loads, this may occur. If you must perform
maintenance while the PDU is receiving input power, observe the following precautions to reduce the
risk of electric shock:
1. Never work alone.
2. Perform the maintenance only if you are a certified electrician who is trained in the hazards of
live electrical installation.
3. Know the procedure for disconnecting electricity to the PDU and the data center in case of an
emergency.
4. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
5. Use double-insulated tools.
6. Always follow local and site regulations when working on the PDU.
2 InfraStruXure System—Installation and Start-Up
Safety: Warnings
Total Power Off
1. Set the PDU Main Input to OFF.
2. Set the upstream power source feeding the PDU to OFF.
Emergency Power Off (EPO)
Hazardous voltage from the branch circuit must be isolated from the 24VAC, 24VDC, and contact
closure. 24VAC and 24VDC are considered Class 2 circuits as defined in Article 725 of the National
Electrical Code (NFPA 70) and Section 16 of the Canadian Electrical Code (C22.1).
A Class 2 circuit is a source having limited voltage and energy capacity as follows:
a. If an Inherently Limited Power Source, voltage and energy are limited to less than 30 VAC,
less than 30VDC, and 8A.
b. If not an Inherently Limited Power Source, voltage and energy are limited to less than
30VAC, less than 60VDC, 250VA, and the current is limited to 1000/Vmax. The fuse is
limited to 5A if less than 20VAC or 20VDC, or 100/Vmaximum if less than 30VAC or
60VDC.
If you choose to use a 24VAC, 24 VDC, or contact closure connection to the EPO, use one of the
following UL-listed wire types:
• CL2 Class 2 cable for general purpose use
• CL2P Plenum cable for use in ducts, plenums, and other space used for environmental air
• CL2R Riser cable for use in a vertical run shaft from floor to floor
• CL2X Limited Use cable for use in dwellings and for use in a raceway
• For installation in Canada, the cable should be CSA Certified, type ELC (extra-low-voltage
control cable).
If you do not use a CL2 cable, route the EPO wiring in conduit that does not contain any branch
circuit wiring.
EMI
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with this user manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference.The user will
bear sole responsibility for correcting such interference.
This Class A digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
Cet appareil numerique de la classe A est conformé à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.

Emergency Power Off (EPO)
Overview
To provide a mechanism for emergency power off, attach a remote switch to the EPO interface on the
PDU monitoring unit through the user connection plate. The EPO interface (
PDU Main Input switch (
) and to the UPS internal EPO switch ().
) is connected to the
Sw itch
PDU
UPS
When the EPO is activated, the main input breaker to the PDU transformer is opened, the UPS DC
Disconnect breaker is opened, and the UPS System Enable switch is turned off. In this sequence,
there is no power from the PDU transformer and there is no power from the UPS inverters and
batteries.
APC offers an optional InfraStruXure EPO system (EPW9). Contact your APC sales
representative, or visit the APC Web site (www.apc.com) for more information.
Note
See “Connect an Emergency Power Off Switch” on page 18 for instructions on how to
connect an EPO switch to the PDU.
