General Information
Safety
Safety and grounding information
Read the following information before installing
or operating your APC Rack Power Distribution
PDU).
Unit (
DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR
ARC FLASH
• The PDU is intended to be installed and operated by a
skilled person in a controlled location with restricted
access.
• 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, and use
only the supplied hardware to attach the mounting
brackets.
• Do not use extension cords or adapters with this PDU.
• If a socket-outlet is not accessible to the equipment, a
socket-outlet shall be installed.
• 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.
• Do not handle any kind of metallic connector before the
power has been removed.
• Use one hand, whenever possible, to connect or
disconnect signal cables to avoid a possible shock
from touching two surfaces with different grounds.
• This unit does not have any user-serviceable
parts. Repairs are to be performed only by
factory-trained service personnel.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in
death or serious injury.

NOTICE
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD
The ambient operating temperature of a closed or multiunit rack environment may be greater than the ambient
temperature of the room. Ensure the ambient operating
temperature of your rack environment does not exceed
the rated ambient operating temperature for the device.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
equipment damage.
Always install the equipment as shown in the
Installation Manual.

Mounting options
Choose the mounting option for your PDU,
depending on your preferences and the type of
enclosure.
• Vertical mounting
–For any standard 19-in rack, you can
attach the brackets to the enclosure
using the screws provided.
–AP9559 only: For a NetShelter VX
enclosure (AR2100 series), you can
mount the brackets to the enclosure by
snapping them into place (toolless
mounting).
• Horizontal mounting: For any NetShelter
enclosure, you can mount the brackets to the
enclosure using the screws provided.
Horizontal mounting uses 1 U-space.

1. Decide where and how you will mount the
PDU in the enclosure. (See the figures on
the following pages.)
2. Choose the appropriate mounting
brackets, as shown below, for the option
you chose:
– for 19-in vertical mounting
– for horizontal mounting
–AP9559 only: for toolless mounting
3. Attach the brackets to the unit using four
flat-head Phillips screws (provided) for
each bracket.

Life Support Policy
General policy
Schneider Electric does not recommend the use
of any of its products in the following situations:
• In life-support applications where failure or
malfunction of the Schneider Electric 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.
Schneider Electric will not knowingly sell its
products for use in such applications unless it
receives in writing assurances satisfactory to
Schneider Electric that (a) the risks of injury or
damage have been minimized, (b) the customer
assumes all such risks, and (c) the liability of
Schneider Electric is adequately protected
under the circumstances.
Examples of life-support devices
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 Schneider Electric UPS systems.
Schneider Electric does not claim that units with
these modifications are certified or listed as
hospital-grade Schneider Electric or any other
organization. Therefore these units do not meet
the requirements for use in direct patient care
