Vertiv Policy on Conflict Minerals

This document details Vertiv’s corporate policy regarding the use of conflict minerals. The policy expressed in this document should be considered to cover Vertiv Co.

Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act which was passed by the US Congress in 2010 requires certain companies to annually disclose their use of conflict minerals. Conflict minerals covered under this act include tantalum, tin, tungsten, and gold.

Although Vertiv is not directly subjected to the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act, Vertiv recognizes that all companies within the electronics manufacturing industry supply chain are impacted by this legislation. Vertiv supports the intent of the law, which is the reduction of violence within the Democratic Republic of the Congo and will take several actions to both advance the goals of the Dodd-Frank Act and to provide exceptional support to our customers.

·Vertiv will work with our direct suppliers to identify purchased components and materials that contain tin, tantalum, tungsten or gold.

·Vertiv will work with our direct suppliers to trace sources of any tin, tantalum, tungsten or gold used in our products back to the smelter.

·Vertiv will document our efforts to trace tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold minerals back to the smelter and will accurately report the results to our customers.

·Vertiv will continue to monitor industry progress in identifying conflict-free smelters and will adjust corporate policy as the electronics supply chain becomes more fully documented.

Vertiv will not require that our direct suppliers source only conflict-free minerals until an adequate number of smelters has been reliably identified and audited by The Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) and the Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI) to service the electronic industry supply chain. Mandating a conflict-free supply chain before an adequate number of smelters has been identified will prohibit the use of all tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold originating in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and surrounding countries. This prohibition would cut off the sole income source for many artisanal miners within the region and may result in increased violence within the Democratic Republic of the Congo in direct opposition to the goals of the Dodd-Frank Act. Vertiv will work continuously with our direct suppliers in order to annually increase the percentage of documented conflict-free minerals that are used in our products until all products can be certified as conflict-free.

3.CHAPTER 1 - PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS

3.1. PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS

3.1.1. OVERVIEW

The Vertiv Upgradeable (GU) PDU gives data center managers the flexibility to install the intelligence required today, with the option to upgrade technology as needs evolve. From basic power to power monitoring, the Vertiv Upgradeable product line adapts to a business' needs now and in the future.

To establish this upgrade path, Vertiv engineers took the robust PDU design and incorporated an Interchangeable Monitoring Device (IMD). Vertiv PDUs last for many years, and with the IMD design, businesses will be able to upgrade their PDUs to newer monitoring technologies in the future without having to replace the entire PDU. The hot-swappable IMD can be changed out in a few simple steps, without interrupting power to critical servers.

RoHS/WEEE

WEEE stands for Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment. WEEE Directive 2002/96/EC mandates the treatment, recovery and recycling of electric and electronic equipment (90% ends up in landfills). All applicable products in the EU market must pass WEEE compliance and carry the "Wheelie Bin" sticker.

RoHS, also known as Lead-Free, stands for Restriction of Hazardous Substances. RoHS, also known as Directive 2002/95/EC, originated in the European Union and restricts the use of six hazardous materials found in electrical and electronic products. All applicable products in the EU market after July 1, 2006 must pass RoHS compliance. RoHS impacts the entire electronics industry and many electrical products as well.

RoHS specifies maximum levels for the following six restricted materials:

•Lead (Pb): < 1000 ppm

•Mercury (Hg): < 100 ppm

•Cadmium (Cd): < 100 ppm

•Hexavalent Chromium: (Cr VI) < 1000 ppm

•Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB): < 1000 ppm

•Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE): < 1000 ppm

•Bis(2-Ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP): < 1000 ppm

•Benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP): < 1000 ppm

•Dibutyl phthalate (DBP): < 1000 ppm

•Diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP): < 1000 ppm

See product label for RoHS/WEEE compliance marks.

4.CHAPTER 2 - INSTALLATION

4.1. PRE-INSTALLATION

•For standard temperature models, the ambient temperature of the installation location, such as an IT rack, should be no greater than 45°C if the PDU is loaded to its full nameplate current rating. The ambient temperature of the installation location should be not greater than 60°C if the PDU normal current load is a maximum 50% of the nameplate and individual receptacle ratings. (Note: load up to full nameplate rating are permitted during short term abnormal operating conditions).

•Install the PDU such that the amount of airflow required for safe operation of equipment is not compromised.

•Mount the PDU so that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

•Follow nameplate ratings when connecting equipment to the branch circuit. Take into consideration the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supplied wiring.

•The PDU relies on the building installation for protection from overcurrent. A certified overcurrent protection device is required in the building installation. The overcurrent protection device should be sized according to the PDU’s nameplate ratings and local/national electrical code.

•Reliable earthing of rack-mount equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit. The PDU must be connected to an earthed socket outlet.

•PDU is intended for restricted-access locations. Only qualified service personnel should install and access the PDU.

•For pluggable equipment, install the PDU so the input plug or appliance coupler may be disconnected for service.

•The PDU is intended for indoor use only. Do not install the unit in wet or outdoor environments, and do not install it next to water tanks or plumbing.

•The PDU is intended for use with TN, TT, or IT power supply systems.
