Installation/Maintenance

Only a certified electrician can perform these tasks:
• Connect the PDU to utility
• Connect the cross tie output breaker to another PDU
• Connect a switch to the EPO interface on the PDU
Only a certified electrician or an APC Field Service Engineer can perform these tasks:
• Connect the PDU to the Symmetra PX UPS
• Perform maintenance of the PDU
When you connect the PDU to utility, you must install a circuit breaker to protect the PDU against
over- current. Determine the type of circuit breaker that you need to install:
Input Voltage Circuit Breaker Sizing
208V 350A
480V 150A
600V 125A

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 disconnecting 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.

1. Set the Symmetra PX UPS System Enable switch to Off.
2. Set the DC Disconnect breaker of each Battery Enclosure to Off.
3. Set the PDU Main Input (A) switch to Off.
4. If applicable, set the PDU Bypass Input (B) switch to Off.
5. If applicable, set the PDU Cross Tie Output (X) circuit breaker to Off.
6. Set all upstream utility circuit breakers feeding the PDU to Off.
7. Disconnect the batteries in the Battery Enclosure and any XR Battery Enclosures by pulling
them out to the red disconnect line.

DANGER—Risk of Electric Shock!

touching them.
Safety: Warnings

Emergency Power Off (EPO)

Hazardous voltage from the branch circuit must be isolated from the 24VAC, 24VDC, and contact
closure. 24VAC and 24 VDC are considered Class 2 circuits as defined in Article 725 of the National
Electrical Code (NFPA 70) and Section 16 of the Canadian Electrical Code (C22.1).
A Class 2 circuit is a source having limited voltage and energy capacity as follows:
a. If an Inherently Limited Power Source, voltage and energy are limited to less than 30VAC,
less than 30VDC, and 8A.
b. If not an Inherently Limited Power Source, voltage and energy are limited to less than
30VAC, less than 60 VDC, 250VA, and the current is limited to 1000/ V max. The fuse is
limited to 5A if less than 20VAC or 20VDC, or 100/Vmaximum if less than 30VAC or
60VDC.
If you choose to use a 24VAC, 24 VDC, or contact closure connection to the EPO, use one of the
following UL-listed wire types:
• CL2 Class 2 cable for general purpose use
• CL2P Plenum cable for use in ducts, plenums, and other space used for environmental air
• CL2R Riser cable for use in a vertical run shaft from floor to floor
• CL2X Limited Use cable for use in dwellings and for use in a raceway
• For installation in Canada, the cable should be CSA Certified, type ELC (extra-low-voltage
control cable).
If you do not use a CL2 cable, route the EPO wiring in conduit that does not contain any branch
circuit wiring.

Weight Considerations

Ensure that the floor and sub-floor can support the total weight of the configuration when
concentrated on the leveling feet. If you are placing equipment on a raised floor, consult the flooring
manufacturer for loading requirements before installing equipment.

InfraStruXure System—Installation and Start-Up 9

Heat Output

Consider the heat dissipation ratings of equipment to determine cooling requirements. Additional
cooling equipment may be required. The following table shows the heat output of the InfraStruXure
PDU and the Symmetra PX UPS.
InfraStruXure PDU
208V 6,165BTU/hr. (1.81kW)

Cross Tie Output Circuit Breaker

Overview

The optional cross tie output circuit breaker allows two separate UPSs that are fed from two different
power sources (dual-fed) to be tied together to create a 2N system. The illustration below shows an
example configuration.
POWER SOURCE B
Inpu t Step-down Tra nsf or mer
POWER SOURCE A
AABBXX
Inpu t Step-down Tra nsf or mer
PDU A PDU B
To UPS To UPS
With a dual-fed 2N system, the secondary of UPS A’s input transformer, located within PDU A, is
connected to the bypass feed of UPS B; and the secondary of UPS B’s input transformer, located
within PDU B, is connected to the bypass feed of UPS A.
The purpose of a 2N system is to use two UPSs such that if something were to happen to one of the
UPSs, the other UPS is available to supply power to the load equipment. 2N systems provide an
added benefit for 480V and 600V power distribution systems in that isolation transformers are not
required to step down the 480V or 600V input to 208V because transformers in the PDUs perform
this task.
It is important to note that the cross tie feature is to be used on 2N dual-fed systems only. The cross
tie circuit breaker is not to be used to supply power to any other load device. Cross tie connections are
made through the load-side terminals of a molded-case circuit breaker, located in the front, upper,
right-hand side of the PDU. PDUs with the bottom feed option are supplied with terminals on the
front, lower, right-hand side of the PDU.
12 InfraStruXure System—Installation and Start-Up

Emergency Power Off (EPO)

Overview

To provide a mechanism for emergency power off, attach a remote switch (not included) to the EPO interface on the PDU monitoring unit. The EPO interface () is connected to the PDU Main Input switch () and to the UPS internal EPO switch (). (Control wires from the PDU to the UPS are
connected during installation of the InfraStruXure system.)
Switch
When the EPO is activated, the main input circuit breaker to the PDU transformer is opened, the UPS
DC Disconnect breaker is opened, and the UPS System Enable switch is turned off. In this sequence,
there is not power from the PDU transformer and there is no power from the UPS inverters and
batteries.
APC offers an optional InfraStruXure EPO System (EPW9). Contact your APC sales representative, or visit the APC Web site (www.apc.com) for more information.

Installation Procedures

Level the PDU, UPS, RDP, NetShelter and Battery Enclosures

Leveling feet are attached under the enclosure at each corner. The leveling feet can help provide a
stable base if the selected floor space is uneven, but they are not intended to compensate for a badly
sloped surface. To level the enclosure:
1. Fit the 14-millimeter end of the open-ended wrench (provided) to the hex head just above the
round pad on the bottom of the leveling foot. Turn the wrench clockwise to extend the leveling
foot until it makes firm contact with the floor.
2. Repeat step 1 for each of the remaining leveling feet.
3. Use a level to determine which feet need further adjustment to level the enclosure. Adjust as
necessary.
InfraStruXure System—Installation and Start-Up 19

Exchange Side Panels

Before installing the InfraStruXure PDU, Symmetra PX UPS, and Battery Enclosure, you will need
to exchange side panels so that the adjacent panels will have matching holes for joining the
enclosures together and for routing input and output wiring between them. The following side panels
will need to be exchanged:
• Adjacent side panels of a PDU and UPS
• Adjacent side panels of a Battery Enclosure and a UPS
• Adjacent side panels of two Battery Enclosures
To exchange side panels:
1. Detach the ground wires from the side panels that you will be exchanging.
