About this Manual
This manual is intended for APC Field Service Engineers or APC-trained installers of an
InfraStruXure system for large data centers. It covers basic installation and start-up.
For information about installing specific components in your InfraStruXure system, see the
documentation included with each component. Before installing or operating any component, refer to
the safety instructions in the component’s manual.
The illustrations of products in this manual may vary slightly from the products in your InfraStruXure
system.
You can check for updates to this manual by clicking on the User Manuals link on the
Support page of the APC website (www.apc.com). In the list of InfraStruXure
manuals, look for the latest letter revision (A, B, etc.) of the part number on this manual.

Warnings
Installation/Maintenance
Only a certified electrician can do following:
• Connect the PDU to its power source
• Install a customer-specified, hard-wired power cable
Only a certified electrician or an APC Field Service Engineer can perform maintenance of the PDU.
When connecting the PDU to utility, a circuit breaker must be installed to protect the PDU against
short-circuit current. Determine the type of circuit breaker that you need to install:
Input VoltageCircuit Breaker Size
200V200A
415V100A
Maintenance performed while the PDU is receiving input power
APC does not recommend that you perform maintenance of the PDU while it is receiving input
power. However, due to the critical nature of data center loads, this may occur. If you must perform
maintenance while the PDU is receiving input power, observe the following precautions to reduce the
risk of electric shock:
1. Never work alone.
2. Perform the maintenance only if you are a certified electrician who is trained in the hazards of
live electrical installation.
3. Know the procedure for disconne cting electricity to the PDU and the data center in case of an
emergency.
4. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
5. Use double-insulated tools.
6. Always follow local and site regulations when working on the PDU.
Total power off procedure
1. Set the PDU Main Input to Off.
2. Set the upstream power source circuit breaker to Off.
Register equipment with the fire department
Follow local code ordinances and register all fire code-compliant equipment with the fire department.

Weight Considerations
Use the “Maximum Packaged” weights to determine what methods you will use to move equipment
into your data center.
Use the “Maximum Unpacked” weights to ensure that the floor and subfloor can support the total
weight of the configuration. If you are placing equipment on a raised floor, consult the flooring
manufacturer for loading requirements before installing equipment. For assistance in planning your
configuration, call APC Customer Support in Japan at the number listed on the back cover of this
manual.
