APC’s AP9565 is a 16-amp Rack Power Distribution Unit (PDU) that
provides 100- to 240-volt power to rack-mounted equipment.
IEC 320 C20 power inlet
12 IEC 320 C13 outlets
IEC 320 C19 to IEC 320 C20 power cord
Note
Brackets for horizontal mounting
Brackets for vertical mounting
Each PDU is packaged with two different sets of mounting
brackets (for horizontal and vertical mounting). Choose your
mounting orientation and attach the appropriate brackets to the
PDU.
Safety and Grounding
C
Read the following information before installing or operating your APC
Rack Power Distribution Unit (PDU):
• This PDU is intended for indoor use only.
• Do not install this PDU where excessive moisture or heat is
present.
• Never install any wiring, equipment, or PDUs during a lightning
storm.
• Plug this PDU into a three-wire, grounded power outlet only. The
power outlet must be connected to appropriate branch circuit/
mains protection (fuse or circuit breaker). Connection to any other
type of power outlet may result in a shock hazard.
• Use only the supplied brackets for mounting.
• Do not work alone under hazardous conditions.
• Check that the power cord, plug, and socket are in good condition.
• Disconnect the PDU from the power outlet before you install or
connect equipment to reduce the risk of electric shock when you
cannot verify grounding. Reconnect the PDU to the power outlet
only after you make all connections.
• Use a protective earth connector with equipment. This type of
connector carries the leakage current from the load devices
(computer equipment). Do not exceed a total leakage current of
3.5 mA.

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.
