Switched Rack PDU AP89XX User Guidevi
Introduction
Product Features
The APC by Schneider Electric Switched Rack Power Distribution Unit (PDU) may be used as a stand-alone,
network-manageable power distribution device or up to four devices can be connected together using one
network connection. The Rack PDU provides real-time remote monitoring of connected loads. User-defined
alarms warn of potential circuit overloads. The Rack PDU provides full control over outlets through remote
commands and user interface settings.
Your Rack PDU comes with a terminator installed in the display In or Out port. In stand-alone operation of
Switched Rack PDU models, one terminator must be installed in the display In or Out port. To use Network Port
Sharing between up to four units, a terminator must be installed in the In port at one end of the group and
another on the Out port at the other end of the group.
You can manage a Rack PDU through its Web User Interface (Web UI), its Command Line Interface (CLI),
StruxureWare, or Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). (To use the PowerNet MIB with an SNMP
browser, see the PowerNet SNMP Management Information Base (MIB) Reference Guide, available at
www.apc.com.) Rack PDUs have these additional features:
• Device power, peak power, apparent power, power factor and energy.
• Phase voltage, current, peak current, power, apparent power and power factor.
• Bank current and peak current (for models that support breaker banks).
• Configurable alarm thresholds that provide network and visual alarms to help avoid overloaded
circuits.
• Various levels of access: Super User, Administrator, Device User, Read-Only, Outlet User, and
Network-Only User (These are protected by user name and password requirements).
• Multiple user login feature which allows up to four users to be logged in simultaneously.
• Individual outlet control.
• Configurable power delays.
• Event and data logging. The event log is accessible by Telnet, Secure CoPy (SCP), File Transfer
Protocol (FTP), serial connection, or web browser (using HTTPS access with SSL, or using HTTP
access). The data log is accessible by web browser, SCP, or FTP.
• Email notifications for Rack PDU and Network Management Card (NMC) system events.
• SNMP traps, Syslog messages, and email notifications based on the severity level or category of
the Rack PDU and NMC system event.
• Security protocols for authentication and encryption.
• Network Port Sharing (NPS). Up to four Rack PDUs of any model can be connected using the In
and Out ports so that only one network connection is necessary.
• NPS guest firmware auto-update feature allows the NPS host to automatically pass a firmware
update to its connected guests. This feature will be functional for all guests that have AOS
firmware version 6.1.3 or later.
• RF Code wireless monitoring support via serial port connection
• Cisco EnergyWise certified.
NOTE: The Rack PDU does not provide power surge protection. To ensure that the device is protected from
power failure or power surges, connect the Rack PDU to a Schneider Electric Uninterruptible Power Supply
(UPS).
1Switched Rack PDU AP89XX User Guide
Types of User Accounts
The Rack PDU has various levels of access (Super User, Administrator, Device User, Read-Only User, Outlet
User, and Network-Only User), which are protected by user name and password requirements. Up to four
users are allowed to login to the same Rack PDU simultaneously (available in AOS version 6.1.3 or later).
• An Administrator or the Super User can use all of the menus in the Web UI and all of the
commands in the CLI. Administrator user types can be deleted, but the Super User cannot be
deleted.
The default user name and password for the Super User are both apc.
–The Super User or Administrator can manage another Administrator's account (enable,
disable, change password, etc).
• A Device User has read and write access to device-related screens. Administrative functions like
session management under the Security menu and Firewall under Logs are grayed out.
• A Read-Only User has the following restricted access:
– Access to the same menus as a Device User, but without the capability to change
configurations, control devices, delete data, or use file transfer options. Links to configuration
options are visible but disabled. The event and data logs display no button to clear the log.
• An Outlet User has the following restricted access:
– Access through the Web User Interface and Command Line Interface.
– Access to the same menus as a Device User, but with limited capability to change
configurations, control devices, delete data, or use file transfer options. Links to configuration
options are visible but are disabled. The Outlet User has access to the Outlet Control menu
option that allows the user to control only the outlets assigned by the Administrator. Outlet
Users cannot clear the event or data logs. The user name and password are defined by the
Administrator during the process of adding a new Outlet User.
• A Network-Only User can only log on using the Web UI and CLI (telnet, not serial). A networkonly user has read/right access to the network rela te d men us only.
Watchdog Features
Overview
To detect internal problems and recover from unanticipated inputs, the Rack PDU uses internal, system-wide
watchdog mechanisms. When it restarts to recover from an internal problem, a Network Interface Restarted
event is recorded in the event log.
Network interface watchdog mechanism
The Rack PDU implements internal watchdog mechanisms to protect itself from becoming inaccessible over
the network. For example, if the Rack PDU 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. The network interface watchdog mechanism is
only enabled on a PDU that discovers an active network inte rf ac e co nn ec tio n at start-up. T his allows guest
PDUs in a Network Port Sharing chain to function normally without rebooting every 9.5 minutes.
Resetting the network timer
To ensure that the Rack PDU does not restart if the network is quiet for 9.5 minutes, the Rack PDU attempt s to
contact the default gateway every 4.5 minutes. If the gateway is present, it responds to the Rack PDU, and the
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 and is on the same subnet. The network traffic of that
computer will restart the 9.5-minute time frequently enough to prevent the Rack PDU from restarting.

Network Port Sharing (NPS)
About the Network Port Sharing Feature
You can use the Network Port Sharing feature to view the status of and configure and manage up to four Rack
PDUs using only one network connection. This is made possible by connecting the Rack PDUs via the In and
Out ports on the Rack PDU front panel.
NOTE: All Rack PDUs in the group must be using the same Rack PDU firmware revision, 5.1.5 or later
(excluding v6.0.5 EnergyWise), in order to support the Network Port Sharing Feature.
Display ID
The display ID is a number, 1 to 4, used to un iquely identify the Rack PDUs in a group. After two or more Rack
PDUs are connected to one another in an NPS group, they can be identified on the various interfaces by the
use of this "Display ID". This Display ID is viewable in the top left corner of the display. Alternatively, a larger
Display ID “shadow” can be enabled on the LCD by selecting the Display Settings > Display ID > Show option
on the LCD keypad.
Installation Instructions
Connect up to four Rack PDUs via the In and Out ports on the Rack PDU. Insert an RJ45 terminator (in cluded)
in the unused In/Out ports on each end of the chain.
NOTE: Failure to use terminators may cause a loss of communication on the Rack PDUs.
NOTE: To reduce the possibility of communication issues, the maximum total length of cabling connecting
Rack PDUs in a group should not exceed 10 meters. All Rack PDUs in a NPS group should reside in the same
rack enclosure.
Connect the "Network" port of one of the grouped Rack PDUs to a network hub or switch. This unit will be the
Host for the Rack PDU group. Guest PDU data will be viewable on the Host PDU. Set up network functionality
for this Host Rack PDU as specified in the Establish Network Settings section. The Host will automatically
discover any Guest PDUs connected via In/Out ports. The Rack PDU group is now available via the Host's IP
address.
NOTE: Only one Rack PDU in an NPS group is allowed to be the host. If two host Rack PDUs are connected
together, one will automatically be chosen to be the single host for the NPS group. The user also has the
option to select a particular guest to be the host as long as that guest has an active network link.
The host Rack PDU supports many features that are not supported b y NPS guest s. These includ e, but are not
limited to:
• SNMP rPDU2Group OIDs
• EnergyWise support
• Initiating AOS/App firmware updates for guest Rack PDUs
• Time synchronization for guest Rack PDUs
• Data logging for the guest Rack PDUs
Specific assignment of Display IDs
Follow the instructions below before powering up any of the Rack PDUs in the group.
If it is desired to have a specific assignment of Display IDs, this can be achieved by powering up the units for
the first time in the desired order, 1 to 4. For example, before powering up any of the Rack PDUs connected in
a group, determine the Display ID order that you wou ld like. Then, first power up the unit that you would like to
have Display ID 1. After that unit has initialized and the LCD has started displaying its screens, power on the
unit that you would like to have Display ID 2. Continue in the same way for units 3 and 4, if applicable for your
setup.
NOTE: The Display ID can be configured from the Web User Interface via the "Configuration > RPDU > Device
> Display ID" field. The Display ID can also be configured from the CLI interface via the dispID command.
3Switched Rack PDU AP89XX User Guide
Firmware Upgrade with NPS
At start-up and routinely during operation, the rPDU2g NPS host compares its own AOS and application
versions with the versions found on each guest. In the event of a version difference, the host copies its AOS
and then its application to the non-complying guests via the NPS chain.
NOTE: Automatic firmware upgrade is only available for Rack PDUs running AOS version v6.1.3 or later as
this functionality requires resident firmware support in the NPS host and guest s. This functionality requires that
any replacement Rack PDUs also be running AOS version v6.1.3 or later to maintain correct operation of the
NPS chain.
RF Tag
The Rack PDU supports the RF Code sensor tag for Schneider Electric Rack PDUs. The tag enables data
center managers to wirelessly monitor power consumption and utilization with the enterprise-class Asset RF
Code Zone Manager. The Zone Manager middleware consumes information about power attribute values as
reported by the Rack PDU. The RF Code sensor tag for Schneider Electric works in concert with the Rack
PDUs with firmware v6.1.0 or later. To implement an RF Code sensor tag solution, plug the tag into the RJ-12
socket labeled Serial Port. Scroll the LCD menu to highlight the RF Code Control entry, press the Select
button. Press the select button again to enable. The Rack PDU will immediately reboot and start serial
communication with the tag. When an NPS guest RF tag is removed, the NPS host will signal an alarm. In
order to clear this alarm, one must replace the tag and disable the tag in the LCD menu. Then the error will be
cleared and the NPS guest will auto reboot.
The RF Tag reports per-phase load voltage/amperage/power readings every 10 minutes and device power/
energy use, per-outlet watt-hour/switch state/RMS current, and phase outlet voltages/bank overload state
readings every hour. Outlet an d bank readings are Rack PDU model dependent as all models do not support
monitoring. The complete RF solution requires an RF Code reader, an RF Code Zone Manager, or RF Code
Asset Manager. For more information see: www.rfcode.com.
EnergyWise
The Rack PDU has the capability of becoming a Cisco EnergyWise Entity. This entity reports power usage and
alarms in the EnergyWise Domain.
To exercise this capability, plug the Rack PDU network port into a Cisco switch/router that supports the
EnergyWise Domain. Log into the Web User Interface of the Rack PDU and navigate to the Configuration/
RPDU/EnergyWise web page. Click on the enable radio button to initiate the task. The task will generate
unique parent and children names, default roles, keywords and importance values that comply with
EnergyWise requirements. Customization of the aforementioned is supported by clicking on any of the
underlined entities to navigate to a configuration web page.
The EnergyWise port, domain name and shared secret may also be modified, but must be coord inated with the
same parameters in the Cisco gear.
The Rack PDU implementation supports a single p arent, multiple children h ierarchy. The parent may exist as a
standalone Rack PDU or as the host Rack PDU for an NPS chain of Rack PDUs. The parent usage reports the
power consumed by the Rack PDUs themselves, including any NPS guest Rack PDUs. The children report
either inlet power or, in the case of monitored outlets, the power consumed at the outlet. Both parent and
children report a usage level (0-10 scale). The parent and inlet usage are always reported as 10 or “ On”. In the
case of switched outlets the actual state of the switch is reported and m ay also be altered by the Cisco device.
When the parent is the host Rack PDU of an NPS chain, the reported parent power is the sum of the parent
and each of the NPS guests. The parent also reports an inlet entity for itself and for each guest as well as an
outlet entity for each host outlet and each outlet of every guest.
The remaining configurable items are string variables that ma y be modified as needed and are ret ained acro ss
power cycles or reboots.
Switched Rack PDU AP89XX User Guide4
EnergyWise and NPS
RPDUs support Cisco EnergyWise with Rack PDU v6.0.9 firmware or later. The Rack PDU EnergyWise
application generates a family tree at startup. This tree is reported to Cisco hardware during the discovery
process.
For an initial installation, either establish the NPS chain and enable EnergyWise on the host or enable
EnergyWise on the host and then disable and re-enable EnergyWise after the NPS communication is
established. Clearly, the first option is simpler.
For Rack PDU replacement, the following procedure should be followed. Power down the Rack PDU – any
children associated with this Rack PDU will report EW levels and usage as zero. On the Status/Rack PDU/
Group web page, there should be a check box to allow the user to remove the now non-functio ning Rack PDU
from the NPS chain. Once removed from the chain, any children associated with that Rack PDU will report “.0.”
in the display identifier portion of the EW name field. At this time, one can replace the Rack PDU with another
of the same model and expect the EnergyWise to function properly again once communication is established.
If for some reason the replacement model is different, EnergyWise will have to be disabled and re-enabled
after NPS communication is established, to upda te the family tree and the order of data reported. For more
information see: www.cisco.com/en/us/products/ps10195/index.html.
Getting Started
To start using the Rack PDU:
1. Install the Rack PDU using the Rack Power Distribution Unit Installation Instructions that were
shipped with your Rack PDU.
2. Apply power and connect to your network. Follow the directions in the Rack Power Distribution
Unit Installation Instructions.
3. Establish network settings
4. Begin using the Rack PDU by way of one of the following:
– “Web User Interface” on page 88
– “Command Line Interface” on page 17
– “Rack PDU Front Panel” on page 10
5Switched Rack PDU AP89XX User Guide
Establish Network Settings
IPv4 initial setup
You must define three TCP/IP settings for the Rack PDU before it can operate on the network:
• The IP address of the Rack PDU
• The subnet mask of the Rack PDU
• The IP address of the default gateway (only needed if you are going off segment)
NOTE: If a default gateway is unavailable, use the IP address of a computer tha t is located on the
same subnet as the Rack PDU and is usually running. The Rack PDU used the default ga teway to
test the network when traffic is very light.
NOTE: Do NOT use the loopback address (127.0.0.1) as the default gateway. Doing so disables the card. To
enable again, you must log on using a serial connection and reset the TCP/IP settings to their defaults.
For detailed information on how to use a DHCP server to configure the TCP/IP settings at an Rack PDU,
see.“DHCP response options” on page 119
IPv6 initial setup
IPv6 network configuration provides flexibility to accommodate your requirements. IPv6 can be used anywhere
an IP address is entered on this interface. You can configure manually, automatically, or using DHCP.
TCP/IP configuration methods
Use one of the following methods to define the TCP/IP settings needed by the Rack PDU:
• “Device IP Configuration Wizard” on page 148
• “DHCP and BOOTP configuration”
• “Command Line Interface” on page 17
.ini file utility
You can use the .ini file export utility to export .ini file settings from configured Rack PDUs to one or more
unconfigured Rack PDUs. For more information, see “Creating and importing settings with the config file” on
page 136.
DHCP and BOOTP configuration
The default TCP/IP configuration setting, DHCP, assumes that a properly configured DHCP server is available
to provide TCP/IP settings to Rack PDU. You can also configure the setting for BOOTP.
A user configuration (INI) file can function as a BOOTP or DHCP boot file. For more information, see “Creating
and importing settings with the config file” on page 136.
If neither of these servers is available, see “Device IP Configuration Wizard” on page 148 or “Device IP
Configuration Wizard” on page 148.
BOOTP: For the Rack PDU to use a BOOTP server to configure its TCP/IP settings, it must find a properly
configured RFC951-compliant BOOTP server.
In the BOOTPTAB file of the BOOTP server, enter the Rack PDU’s MAC address, IP address, subnet mask,
and default gateway, and, optionally, a bootup file name. Look for the MAC address on the bottom of the Rack
PDU or on the Quality Assurance slip included in the package.
When the Rack PDU reboots, the BOOTP server provides it with the TCP/IP settings.
• If you specified a bootup file name, the Rack PDU attempts to transfer that file from the BOOTP
server using TFTP or FTP. The Rack PDU assumes all settings specified in the bootup file.
• If you did not specify a bootup file name, you can configure the other settings of the Rack PDU
remotely through its “Web User Interface” on page 88 or “Command Line Interface” on page 17;
the user name and password are both apc, by default. To create a bootup file, see your BOOTP
server documentation.
Switched Rack PDU AP89XX User Guide6
DHCP: You can use an RFC2131/RFC2132-compliant DHCP server to configure the TCP/IP settings for the
Rack PDU.
This section summarizes the Rack PDU’s communication with a DHCP server. For more detail about how a
DHCP server can configure the network settings for a Rack PDU, see “DHCP response options” on page 119.
1. The Rack PDU sends out a DHCP request that uses the following to identify itself:
– A Vendor Class Id entifier (APC by default)
– A Client Identifier (by default, the MAC address of the Rack PDU)
– A User Class Identifier (by default, the identification of the app lication firmware inst alled on the
Rack PDU)
– A Host Name (by default, apcXXYYZZ with XXYYZZ being the last six digits of the PDU). This
is known as DHCP Option 12.
2. A properly configured DHCP server responds with a DHCP offer that includes a ll the settings that
the Rack PDU needs for network communication. The DHCP offer also includes the Vendor
Specific Information option (DHCP option 43). The Rack PDU can be configured to ignore DHCP
offers that do not encapsulate the APC cookie in DHCP option 43 using the following
hexadecimal format. (The Rack PDU does not requ ire this co ok ie by de fa u lt.)
Option 43 = 01 04 31 41 50 43
Where:
– The first byte (01) is the code.
– The second byte (04) is the length.
– The remaining bytes (31 41 50 43) are the APC cookie.
See your DHCP server documentation to add code to the Vendor Specific Information option.
NOTE: By selecting the Require vendor specific cookie to accept DHCP Address check
box in the Web User Interface, you can require the DHCP server to provide an “APC” cookie,
which supplies information to the Rack PDU.

PDU (including those for which there are not specific CLI commands) by using the CLI to transfer an INI file to
the Rack PDU. The CLI uses XMODEM to perform the transfer, however, you cannot read the current INI file
through XMODEM.
Log on to the CLI
To access the Command Line Interface, you can use either a local (serial) connection or a remote (Telnet or
SSH) connection with a computer on the same network as the Rack PDU.
Remote access to the Command Line Interface
You can choose to access the Command Line Interface through Telnet and/or SSH. Telnet is enabled by
default. You do not have to enable either.
To enable or disable these access methods, use the Web User Interface. On the Configuration tab, select
Network from the menu to open the Console Access page. Click to check the desired Enable box. Click
Apply to save your changes or Cancel to leave the page.

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 Command Line Interface:
1. From a computer that has access to the network on which the Rack PDU is installed, at a
command prompt, type telnet and the IP address for the Rack PDU (for example, telnet
139.225.6.133, when the Rack PDU uses the default Telnet port of 23), and press
If the Rack PDU uses a non-default port number (from 5000 to 327 68 ), you must in clu de a colon
or a space, depending on your Telnet client, between the IP address (or DNS name) and the port
number. (These are commands for general usage: Some clients do not allow you to specify the
port as an argument and some types of Linux might want extra commands).
2. Enter the user name and password (by default, apc and apc for the Super User).
If you cannot remember your user name or p assword, see “Recover ing from a Lost Password” on
page 9.
ENTER.
SSH for high-security access
If you use the high security of SSL for the Web interface, use SSH for access to the Command Line Interface.
SSH encrypts user names, passwords, and transmitted data. The interface, user accounts, and user access
rights are the same whether you access the Command Line Interface through SSH or Telnet, but to use SSH,
you must first configure SSH and have an SSH client program installed on your computer.
Local access to the Command Line Interface
For local access, use a computer that connects to the Rack PDU through the serial port to access the
Command Line Interface:
1. Select a serial port at the computer and disable any service that uses that port.
2. Connect the serial cable (Schneider Electric part number 940-0144A) from the selected serial
port on the computer to the Serial port on the Rack PDU.
3. Run a terminal program (e.g., Tera Term or HyperTerminal) and configure the selected port for
9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.
4. Press
ENTER. It may take mu ltiple (up to thr ee) attempt s to get a prompt to a ppear. At the prompt,
enter your user name and password.

Command Syntax
Item Description
- Options are preceded by a hyphen.
< >
[ ]
|
Example of a command that supports multiple options:
ftp [-p <port number>] [-S <enable | disable>]
In this example, the ftp command accepts the option -p, which defines the port number, and the option -S,
which enables or disables the FTP feature.
To change the FTP port number to 5010, and enable FTP:
Definitions of options are enclosed in angle brackets. For example:
-dp <device password>
If a command accepts multiple options or an option accepts mutually
exclusive arguments, the values may be enclosed in brackets.
A vertical line between items enclosed in brackets or angle bracket s indicates
that the items are mutually exclusive. You must use one of the items.
1. Type the ftp command, the port option, and the argument 5010:
ftp -p 5010
2. After the first command succeeds, type the ftp command, the enable/disable option, and the
enable selection:
ftp -S enable
Example of a command that accepts mutually exclusive arguments for an option:
alarmcount -p [all | warning | critical]
In this example, the option -p accepts only three arguments: all, warning, or critical. For example, to view the
number of active critical alarms, type:
alarmcount -p critical
The command will fail if you type an argument that is not specified.
