Safety
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
• The Rack PDU is intended to be installed and operated by a skilled person in a
controlled location.
• Do not operate the Rack PDU with the covers removed.
• This Rack PDU is intended for indoor use only.
• Do not install this Rack PDU where excessive moisture or heat is present.
• Never install any wiring, equipment, or Rack PDUs during a lightning storm.
• Plug this Rack PDU into a 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.
• Do not use extension cords or adapters with this Rack 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 Rack 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 Rack PDU to the power outlet only after you make all connections.
• 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.
• High leakage current from attached loads is possible. If total leakage current will
exceed 3.5mA, attach a ground wire from the Rack PDU supplementary ground (M5
thread) to a reliable ground in your facility before energizing the Rack PDU.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
Installation
Mount the Rack PDU vertically in an Easy rack or any standard EIA-310 rack.
Option 1 - Vertical Installation with Brackets
1. Install the two (2) brackets to the Rack PDU with the
screws provided.
2. Install the PDU to the rack
with the provided four (4)
M5 x10 mm self tapping
screws.
Overview
This sheet provides installation information for your Easy PDU. Read the instructions
carefully.
Receiving
Inspect the package and contents for shipping damage. Make sure all parts were sent.
Immediately report any shipping damage to the shipping agent. Report missing
contents, product damage, or other problems with the product to APC by Schneider
Electric or your APC by Schneider Electric reseller.
Material recycling
The shipping materials are recyclable. Please save them for later use, or dispose of
them appropriately.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
• This equipment should be connected to a single-outlet dedicated circuit protected by
a circuit breaker or fuse with the same current rating as the Rack PDU.
• The plug or inlet serves as the disconnect for the Rack PDU. Make sure the utility
power outlet for the Rack PDU will be close to the Rack PDU and readily accessible.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.
Option 2 - Toolless Mounting Pegs
The mounting pegs of the Rack PDU are
installed at the factory. Slide both mounting
pegs into the holes located in the channel in
the rear panel of the rack. Snap the Rack PDU
into place by pushing it downward until it locks
into position.
NOTE: When installing the Rack PDU, ensure
that the power cord plug is accessible and that
it is connected to a grounded outlet.
