Important Safety Instructions
Save These Instructions
WARNING!
listed below may result in electric shock, fire hazards, or
serious injury. Please safeguard this Installation and
User Manual.
Intended Use
Operate the Rack PDU in an indoor environment only within an
ambient temperature range and a relative humidity range as listed
in “Environmental Characteristics” on page 5. Install the Rack PDU
in a clean environment, free of conductive contaminants,
moisture, flammable liquids, gases and corrosive substances.
•Do not use the Rack PDU in moist environments. If the
Rack PDU is exposed to moisture, immediately
disconnect the Rack PDU from DC input power by
opening the circuit breaker or removing the fuse or
breaker supplying DC input to the Rack PDU. Send the
Rack PDU to the manufacturer for inspection.
Failure to observe the safety information
Electrical Safety
•Check the unit for external signs of damage prior to startup operation! Do not operate the device if you detect
any damage or other deficiencies.
•Only use the supplied DC input power cable.
Personal Safety
•Never touch the outlets or the Rack PDU with wet or
moist hands.
Service
• Do not use the Rack PDU for household applications.
Installation and Operation
•Installation and start-up must be performed by a
qualified service engineer.
•Make sure that the total input current of the connected
systems does not exceed the current rating specified on
the rating plate of the Rack PDU.
Unauthorized changes, modifications, or repairs of the device are
performed at the owner’s risk and will void all warranty claims.
• Do not open the Rack PDU.
• Please contact the nearest customer service center in
case of malfunction! Damage and defects must be
repaired immediately.
•Always disconnect the unit from power before
troubleshooting.
The NetSure™ RDB Rack PDUs (Power Distribution Units) are
designed to be installed on the left and/or right rear frames of IT
racks. They can be mounted directly to the rack or use Rack PDU
Mounting Kit P/N 547665. See “Dimensions” starting on page 6
for hole dimensions.
Shipment Inspection
Unpack the shipping container, inspect all items for damage and
verify that the shipment is complete and undamaged. Report any
damage to your local Vertiv Co. representative and the carrier.
Installing the Rack PDU
WARNING!
"Ground Lead Bracket" must be ground bonded to the
mounting bracket (if used) or rack frame. The mounting
bracket (if used) must be ground bonded to the rack
frame. The rack frame must be ground bonded to your
site ground. This is typically accomplished through the
use of paint free areas and/or grounding washers used
when mounting the components.

The Rack PDU’s
Installing the Rack PDU Directly to a Rack Frame or Existing
Mounting Bracket
Install the Rack PDU directly to the rack frame or existing
mounting bracket as shown in Figure 1. Note that the supplied
"Ground Lead Bracket" is to be placed between the PDU and the
rack frame or existing mounting bracket as shown in Figure 1. Use
the supplied 1/4-20 screws and 1/4-20 KEPS nuts.
Installing Rack PDUs to a Rack Frame using the Optional
Mounting Bracket
If using the Rack PDU Mounting Kit, install the Rack PDU mounting
bracket to the left and/or right rear frame of the rack using the
appropriate hardware that fits to the cabinet that will be used.
Install the Rack PDUs to the Rack PDU mounting bracket that was
previously installed on the frame as shown in Figure 2. Note that
the supplied "Ground Lead Bracket" is to be placed between the
PDU and the mounting bracket as shown in Figure 2.
The Rack PDU’s input is designed to be fed from a 200A (max) breaker or fuse using the factory supplied and connected DC input cable
assembly and the customer connected input quick connect kits. See Figure 3.
Figure 3. DC Input Connections
Connecting the Rack PDU’s DC Output to Customer Equipment
The Rack PDU’s output circuit breakers are connected to customer equipment via the separately ordered output cable assemblies. A
ground lead is also supplied with each output cable. Each ground lead is terminated with a connector on one end (which mates with a
connector on a ground wire factory connected to the "Ground Lead Bracket") and left unterminated on the other end. See Figure 4.
