Introduction
Product Description
Features of the InRow RC/RD/RP (600 mm) cooling unit
The American Power Conversion (APC®) InRow RC/RD/RP (600 mm) cooling unit is a modular air
conditioning unit that is available in either a direct expansion (DX) model (ACRD500 series or
ACRP100 series) or a chilled water (CW) model (ACRC500 series or ACRP500 series). It is the width
of a standard enclosure (600 mm), and can be placed in a data-center row. It provides full management
capabilities over a network using HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP), Telnet, HTTP over Secure
Sockets Layer (HTTPS), Secure Shell (SSH), Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), File
Transfer Protocol, (FTP), Secure CoPy (SCP), and Modbus. The cooling unit provides the following
features:
• Group control
• Temperature monitoring
• Remote shutdown
• Output contact monitoring
• Event log accessible by Telnet, FTP, SSH, SCP, serial connection, the display interface, or a Web
browser
• SNMP traps and e-mail notifications sent in response to events
• Syslog events sent to configured Syslog servers
• Security protocols for authentication and encryption
Initial setup
You must define the following three TCP/IP settings for the cooling unit before it can operate on the
network:
• IP address of the cooling unit
• Subnet mask
• IP address of the default gateway
Note: Never use the loopback address (127.0.0.1) as the default gateway address for
the cooling unit. Doing so will disable the unit and will require you to reset TCP/IP
settings to their defaults using a local serial login.
To use a DHCP server to configure the TCP/IP settings for a cooling unit, see “TCP/
IP settings” on page 37.
To configure the TCP/IP settings, see the Installation Manual for your cooling unit,
provided in printed form and in PDF on either the Utility CD or on the APC Web
site, www.apc.com.

Internal Management Features
Overview
You can manage the cooling unit through the Web interface, display interface, control console, Modbus,
or SNMP. SNMP requires the PowerNet
www.apc.com.
For more information about the menu-driven interfaces of the cooling unit, see “Web
Interface” on page 13 and “Control Console” on page 6.
For more information about the display interface, see the Operation and Maintenance manual
for your cooling unit, available on the Utility CD or on the APC Web site, www.apc.com.
To download the latest version of the Modbus register map, go to the APC Web site,
www.apc.com, search by part number, and click the link to the register map in the list of
documentation. Check the publication date at the start of the file.
For more information about Modbus, see the Modbus Standard Library at www.modbus.org.
To use the PowerNet MIB with an SNMP browser, see the PowerNet SNMP Management
Information Base (MIB) Reference Guide, provided on the Utility CD.

MIB, available on the Utility CD or from the APC Web site,
Access priority for logging on
Only one user at a time can log on to the cooling unit to use its internal user interface features. The
priority for access is as follows:
• Local access to the control console from a computer with a direct serial connection to the cooling
unit always has the highest priority.
• Telnet or Secure SHell (SSH) access to the control console from a remote computer has the next
highest priority.
• Web access, either directly or through the InfraStruXure Central, has the lowest priority.
For information on how to control SNMP access to the cooling unit, see “SNMP”
on page 46.
InRow RC/RD/RP (600 mm) User’s Guide2
Types of user accounts
The cooling unit has three levels of access (Administrator, Device User, and Read-Only User), all of
which are protected by user name and password requirements.
• An Administrator can use all of the management menus available in the control console and the
Web interface. The Administrator’s default user name and password are both apc.
• A Device User (Device Manager in the control console) can access only the Log option in the
Events menu and use the Group, Unit, and Alarms menus. The Device User’s default user name
is device, and the default password is apc.
• A Read-Only User has the following restricted access:
– Access through the Web interface only.
– Access to the same menus as a Device User, but without the capability to change
configurations, control devices, or delete data. Links to configuration options may be visible
but are disabled, and the event log displays no Clear Log button.
– The Read-Only User’s default user name is readonly, and the default password is apc.
To set User Name and Password values for the Administrator, Device User, and
Read-Only User accounts, see “Setting user access” on page 32. You must use the
Web interface to configure values for the Read-Only User.

How to Recover from a Lost Password
Use a local computer, a computer that connects to the cooling unit through the serial port, to access the
control console.
1. Select a serial port at the local computer and disable any service that uses that port.
2. Connect the configuration cable (APC part number 940-0103 and extension, if required, 9401000A) to the selected port on the computer and to the serial port at the cooling unit (use the DB9 connector on the front of the electrical panel).
Note: Do not touch components on the electrical panel, other than the service port.
3. Run a terminal program (such as HyperTerminal) and configure the selected port as follows:
• 9600 bps
• 8 data bits
•no parity
• 1 stop bit
• no flow control
4. Press
5. If you are unable to display the User Name prompt, verify the following:
6. Switch the main breaker to
7. Press
8. From the Control Console menu, select System, then User Manager.
9. Select Administrator, and change the User Name and Password settings, both of which are
10.Press
ENTER on the computer, repeatedly if necessary, to display the User Name prompt.
– The serial port is not in use by another application.
– The terminal settings are correct as specified in step 3.
– The correct cable is being used as specified in step 2.
OFF. Wait one second. Switch the main breaker to ON.
Note: If you wait too long to return power to the cooling unit, you must repeat step 5.
ENTER as many times as necessary to redisplay the User Name prompt, then use the default,

An audible alarm beeps every 30 seconds. Press any function key to silence the audible alarm.
Watchdog Features
Overview
To detect internal problems and recover from unanticipated inputs, the cooling unit uses internal, systemwide watchdog mechanisms. When it reboots to recover from an internal problem, a System:
Warmstart event is recorded in the event log.
Network interface watchdog mechanism
The cooling unit implements internal watchdog mechanisms to protect itself from becoming inaccessible
over the network. For example, if the cooling unit does not receive any network traffic for 9.5 minutes
(either direct traffic, such as SNMP, or broadcast traffic, such as an Address Resolution Protocol [ARP]
request), it assumes that there is a problem with its network interface and restarts.
Resetting the network timer
To ensure that the cooling unit does not restart if the network is quiet for 9.5 minutes, the cooling unit
attempts to contact the Default Gateway every 4.5 minutes. If the gateway is present, it responds to the
cooling unit, and that response restarts the 9.5-minute timer. If your application does not require or have
a gateway, specify the IP address of a computer that is running on the network most of the time and is on
the same subnet. The network traffic of that computer will reset the 9.5-minute timer frequently enough
to prevent the cooling unit from restarting.

Control Console
How to Log On
Overview
You can use either a local (serial) connection, or a remote (Telnet or SSH) connection to access the
control console.
Use case-sensitive user name and password entries to log on (by default, apc and apc for an
Administrator, or device and apc for a Device User). A Read-Only User cannot access the control
console.
If you cannot remember your user name or password, see “How to Recover from a
Lost Password” on page 4.
Remote access to the control console
You can access the control console through Telnet or Secure SHell (SSH), depending on which is
enabled. (An Administrator can enable these access methods through the Telnet/SSH option of the
Network menu.) By default, Telnet is enabled. Enabling SSH automatically disables Telnet.
Telnet for basic access. Telnet provides the basic security of authentication by user name and
password, but not the high-security benefits of encryption. To use Telnet to access the control console
from any computer on the same subnet:
1. At a command prompt, type
cooling unit uses the default Telnet port of 23), and press
telnet 139.225.6.133
Note: If the cooling unit uses a non-default port number (between 5000 and
32767), you need to include a colon or a space (depending on your Telnet client)
between the IP address and the port number.
2. Enter the user name and password (by default, apc and apc for an Administrator, or device and
apc for a Device User).
SSH for high-security access. If you use the high security of SSL for the Web interface, use Secure
SHell (SSH) for access to the control console. SSH encrypts user names, passwords, and transmitted
data.
The interface, user accounts, and user access rights are the same whether you access the control console
through SSH or Telnet, but to use SSH, you must first configure SSH and have a SSH client program
installed on your computer.

Local access to the control console
You can use a local computer that connects to the cooling unit through the serial port.
Note: To access the serial port, remove the front panel and lower air filter of the cooling unit.
1. Select a serial port at the local computer and disable any service that uses that port.
2. Use the configuration cable (APC part number 940-0103 and extension, if required, 940-1000A)
to connect the selected port of the local computer to the serial port at the cooling unit (use the
DB-9 connector on the front of the electrical panel).
3. Run a terminal program (such as HyperTerminal) and configure the selected port for 9600 bps, 8
data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control. Save the changes.
4. Enter the user name and password for the access desired (Administrator or Device User).
