How to Install the Rack PDU
Mounting options
Toolless mounting
You can install the Rack PDU in one of two ways: using toolless
mounting pegs (provided) or the mounting brackets (provided).
• To install the Rack PDU using the toolless mounting method,
install it in the rear of the NetShelter VX Enclosure, in the cable
channel directly behind the rear vertical mounting rails.
• To install the Rack PDU using the mounting brackets, install it on a
vertical mounting rail on your rack or enclosure.
1. Slide the mounting pegs into the holes located in the channel in the
rear panel of the enclosure.
2. Snap the Rack PDU into place by pushing it downward until it
locks into position.
You can mount two Rack PDUs on one side of the enclosure
by using the toolless mounting method.

Life-Support Policy
General policy
Examples of life-support
devices
American Power Conversion (APC) does not recommend the use of any
of its products in the following situations:
• In life-support applications where failure or malfunction of the
APC product can be reasonably expected to cause failure of the
life-support device or to affect significantly its safety or
effectiveness.
• In direct patient care.
APC will not knowingly sell its products for use in such applications
unless it receives in writing assurances satisfactory to APC that (a) the
risks of injury or damage have been minimized, (b) the customer
assumes all such risks, and (c) the liability of American Power
Conversion is adequately protected under the circumstances.
The term life-support device includes but is not limited to neonatal
oxygen analyzers, nerve stimulators (whether used for anesthesia, pain
relief, or other purposes), autotransfusion devices, blood pumps,
defibrillators, arrhythmia detectors and alarms, pacemakers,
hemodialysis systems, peritoneal dialysis systems, neonatal ventilator
incubators, ventilators (for adults and infants), anesthesia ventilators,
infusion pumps, and any other devices designated as “critical” by the
U.S. FDA.
Hospital-grade wiring devices and leakage current protection may be
ordered as options on many APC UPS systems. APC does not claim that
units with these modifications are certified or listed as hospital-grade by
APC or any other organization. Therefore these units do not meet the
requirements for use in direct patient care.
