ii Switched Rack PDU Installation and Quick Start
Product Description and Inventory
AP7902 and AP7911 are Switched Rack Power Distribution Units (Rack PDUs) that distribute power to
devices in the rack. The user can turn on, turn off, or recycle power back to the individually controlled
outlets. The Rack PDUs also have a sensor that measures the current being used by the Rack PDUs and
their attached devices. The Rack PDUs can be monitored through Web, Telnet, SNMP, or InfraStruXure
Manager interfaces.

2 Switched Rack PDU Installation and Quick Start
How to Install the Rack PDU
Installation guidelines
Attach the cord retention tray
• For a Rack PDU installed in an enclosed communications rack, the
recommended maximum ambient temperature is 45° C (113º F).
• Install the Rack PDU so that it does not reduce the air flow
required for safe operation of the equipment.
• Install the Rack PDU so that there is an even mechanical load.
• Follow the nameplate ratings when connecting equipment to the
supply circuit. Avoid overloading the circuits, which could affect
over-circuit protection and supply wiring.
• Maintain reliable earthing of the Rack PDU, especially supplyconnections that do not directly connect to the branch circuit.
• Install the Rack PDU so that the power plug is accessible to be
disconnected for service.
Attach the cord retention tray to the Rack PDU, using four flat-head
screws (provided) per tray.
Additional cord retention tray (optional)
Mount an additional cord retention tray to secure cords
from the top bank of outlets. Purchase additional tray kits
Note
Attach a second cord retention tray to the PDU, with the cord retainers
facing down.

from APC (AP9569).
How to Install the Rack PDU
Attach cords to the tray
Attach a cord to the tray by looping the cord and securing it to the tray,
using a wire tie (provided). Cords from both banks of outlets may be
secured to the bottom tray, or you may attach an additional tray (shown
on the preceding page) to secure cords from the top bank of outlets.
Make sure the cords that are attached to the upper tray do not interfere
with the operation of the circuit breakers.
Each cord must be secured to the tray so that you can unplug
it from the Rack PDU without removing the wire tie.
Note
Mounting options You can install the Rack PDU in one of two ways: flush with the rack, or
recessed to allow the use of the cord retention bracket. To mount the
Rack Rack PDU horizontally in a NetShelter
®
or any other standard
EIA-310 rack or enclosure:
1. Attach the mounting brackets to the Rack PDU, using the flat-head
screws (provided).
Some enclosures may require you to recess the Rack
PDU so that the back doors of the enclosure will close
Note
when other devices are plugged in to the Rack PDU.
For placement flush-to-rack: use four flat-head screws (provided)
for each bracket.
