General Information............................. 1
Read the following information before installing or
operating your APC by Schneider Electric Rack
Power Distribution Unit (PDU).
DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR
ARC FLASH
• 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.
Always install the equipment as shown in the
Installation Manual.

Y ou can inst all the Environmental Ma nager Main
Module in one of two ways: using toolless
mounting pegs (provided) or the verticalmounting brackets (provided).
• To install the Environmental Manager Main
Module using the toolless mounting method,
install it in the rear of the NetShelter
Enclosure, in the cable channel directly
behind the rear vertical-mounting rails.
• To install the Environmental Manager Main
Module using the mounting brackets, install
it on a vertical-mounting rail in the rack or
enclosure.
Toolless mounting
Note: In order to mount the Rack PDU using
the toolless mounting option, you must install it
in a NetShelter VX Enclosure.
®
VX
1. Slide both mounting pegs into the holes
located in the cable channel in the rear
panel of the enclosure.
2. Snap the Rack PDU into place by pushing
it downward until it locks into position.
Note: You can mount two Rack PDUs on one
side of the enclosure by using the toolless
mounting method.

Bracket mounting
To mount the Rack PDU vertically in a
NetShelter
or any standard EIA-310-D rack or
enclosure:
1. Attach the vertical-mounting brackets to
the Rack PDU, using four 8-32 flat-head
screws per bracket.
Note:
Use only the supplied screws.
2. Attach the Rack PDU to a vertical
mounting rail in the rear of the enclosure
using two additional screws per bracke t
(not provided).
