Preliminary Information Features This booklet provides information on installing and operating Metered Rack Power Distribution Units (PDUs). Each PDU has a sensor that measures the current being used by the PDU and its attached devices, and can be monitored through the Web, Telnet, SSH, SNMP, or InfraStruXure Manager interfaces. Display interface The display interface on the PDU shows the aggregate current being used by the PDU and its attached devices. An alarm occurs if the aggregate c

Install the PDU Attach the cord retention trays Attach the cord retention trays to the PDU, using four flat-head screws (provided) per tray. Attach cords to the tray Attach a cord to the tray by looping the cord and securing it to the tray, using a wire tie (provided). Each cord must be secured to the tray so that you can unplug it from the PDU without removing the wire tie. Note When installing the PDUs, ensure that the power cord plug is accessible and that the PDU is connected to a gro

Mounting options You can install the PDU in one of two ways: using toolless mounting pegs (provided) or mounting brackets (provided). The 1-U and 2-U horizontal PDUs must be mounted using the horizontal mounting brackets. Vertical mounting. • To install the PDU using the toolless mounting ® method, install it in the rear of the NetShelter VX or SX Enclosure, in the cable channel directly behind the rear vertical mounting rails. • To install the PDU using the mounting brackets, install

Bracket mounting Vertical mounting. To mount the PDU vertically in a NetShelter or any standard EIA-310 rack or enclosure: 1. Attach the vertical-mounting brackets to the PDU. Use only the supplied screws. Caution 2. Install the PDU on a vertical mounting rail in your rack or enclosure using the screws and cage nuts supplied with your enclosure. 4 Metered Rack Power Distribution Unit pdu0344a pdu0190b

Horizontal mounting. You can mount the PDU in a 19-inch NetShelter or other EIA-310-D standard 19-inch rack: 1. Choose a mounting position for the PDU with either the display or the rear facing out of the enclosure. 2. Attach the mounting brackets to the PDU, using the flat-head screws (provided). 3. Choose a location for the unit: The unit occupies one U-space. A notched hole (or a number, on newer enclosures) on the enclosure’s vertical rail indicates the middle of a U-space. Note a. I

Quick Configuration Disregard the procedures in this section if you have APC InfraStruXure Manager as part of your system. See the InfraStruXure Caution Manager’s documentation for more information. Overview You must configure the following TCP/IP settings before the PDU can operate on a network: • IP address of the PDU • Subnet mask •Default gateway If a default gateway is unavailable, use the IP address of a computer that is located on the same subnet as the PDU and that is usually run

APC Device IP Configuration Wizard You can use the APC Device IP Configuration ® Wizard at a computer running Microsoft ® Windows 2000, Windows 2003, or Windows XP to configure the basic TCP/IP setting of a Rack PDU. Most software firewalls must be temporarily disabled for the Wizard to discover unconfigured PDUs Note 1. Insert the APC Metered and Switched Rack Power Distribution Units Utility CD into a computer on your network. 2. Launch the Wizard, when prompted, or, if prompted to res

BOOTP. You can use an RFC951-compliant BOOTP server to configure the TCP/IP settings for the PDU. If the BOOTP server is properly configured, the PDU’s default setting (DHCP & BOOTP) for TCP/IP configuration causes it to discover the BOOTP server. If a BOOTP server is unavailable, see “APC Device IP Configuration Wizard” on page 9, “Local access to the control console” on page 12, or “Remote access to the control console” on page 13 to configure TCP/IP settings. 1. Enter the PDU’s MAC

DHCP. You can use a RFC2131/RFC2132- compliant DHCP server to configure the TCP/IP settings for the PDU. This section summarizes the PDU communication with a DHCP server. For more detail about how a DHCP See also server is used to configure the network settings for the PDU, see “DHCP Configuration Settings” in the User’s Guide. 1. The PDU sends a DHCP request that uses the following to identify itself: Vendor Class Identifier (APC by default) Client Identifier (by default, the PDU’s

Local access to the control console You can use a local computer to connect to the PDU to access the control console. 1. Select a serial port at the local computer, and disable any service which uses that port. 2. Use the serial cable (940-0144) to connect the selected port to the serial port on the front panel of the PDU. 3. Run a terminal program (such as ® HyperTerminal ) and configure the selected port for 9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control, and save the ch

Remote access to the control console From any computer on the same subnet as the PDU, you can use ARP and Ping to assign an IP address to the PDU, and then use Telnet to access that PDU’s control console and configure the needed TCP/IP settings. After the PDU has its IP address configured, you can use Telnet, without first using ARP and Ping, to access that PDU. Note 1. Use ARP to define an IP address for the PDU, and use the PDU’s MAC address in the ARP command. For example, to define

Control console After you log on at the control console, as described in “Local access to the control console” on page 12 or “Remote access to the control console” on page 13: 1. Choose Network from the Control Console menu. 2. Choose TCP/IP from the Network menu. 3. If you are not using a BOOTP or DHCP server to configure the TCP/IP settings, select the Boot Mode menu. Select Manual boot mode, and then press ESC to return to the TCP/IP menu. Set the System IP, Subnet Mask, and Default
