Product Information

Full details

The APC APDU9981EU3 is a switched, three-phase, ZeroU rack PDU designed for data centers and IT environments requiring robust power distribution and management. Its key benefit is providing precise, manageable power to up to 24 devices through its C13 and C19 outlets, with enhanced network capabilities for remote monitoring and control. A potential caveat is its reliance on a specific IEC 60309 16A 3P+N+PE plug, requiring compatible infrastructure.

FAQs

What type of power plug does the APC APDU9981EU3 use?

The PDU uses an IEC 60309 16A 3P+N+PE plug, which is a standard for industrial three-phase power connections.

How many devices can this PDU support?

The PDU has a total of 24 AC outlets: 21 IEC C13 outlets and 3 IEC C19 outlets.

Can I manage this PDU remotely?

Yes, the PDU features comprehensive network management capabilities via Web, SNMP, and Telnet, and is EcoStruxure IT Ready.

What is the maximum current capacity?

The maximum current capacity for this PDU is 16A per phase.

Is wireless connectivity supported?

Wireless connectivity is compatible with an optional APC USB WiFi Device, available for units manufactured after March 2021.

What is the operating temperature range?

The PDU can operate in temperatures from -5°C to 45°C, with some models supporting up to 60°C operating temperature.

How do I upgrade the firmware?

Firmware can be easily upgraded via network download, allowing for future product enhancements without needing to replace the unit.

What makes the outlets 'High Retention'?

High Retention outlets provide up to twice the holding force compared to standard outlets, significantly reducing the risk of accidental power disconnections for connected equipment.

Troubleshooting

PDU not powering on

Verify the IEC 60309 plug is securely seated in a compatible and powered outlet. Check the hydraulic magnetic circuit breakers on the PDU to ensure they are not tripped. Consult your facility's electrician to confirm the power source is active and correct.

Network connection issues

Ensure the Ethernet cable is securely connected to both the PDU and the network switch. Verify IP address settings on the PDU and your network. Try a different Ethernet cable or network port. Check PDU firmware status.

Outlets not providing power

Check if the individual circuit breakers for the outlets are engaged. Confirm the total load on the PDU does not exceed its maximum capacity (11040 VA / 11000 W). Ensure the connected device's power cord is fully inserted into the PDU outlet.

Inaccurate power readings

Confirm the PDU firmware is up-to-date. Ensure the PDU is correctly reporting its input voltage and current characteristics to the network management system. Contact APC support if persistent inaccuracies are observed after firmware updates.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The PDU is designed for ZeroU vertical rack mounting. Ensure your rack has sufficient vertical space and the appropriate mounting points. Connect the IEC 60309 16A 3P+N+PE plug to a compatible three-phase power source. For network management, connect a standard Ethernet cable to the Gigabit Ethernet port and configure network settings via the LCD interface or initial network discovery.

Compatibility: This PDU is compatible with standard rack-mount IT equipment. It features 21 x IEC C13 and 3 x IEC C19 outlets, suitable for most server, switch, and storage devices. The input plug is an IEC 60309 16A 3P+N+PE, requiring a matching power outlet. Firmware can be upgraded via network download for future compatibility.

Care: Regularly inspect the PDU and its power cord for any signs of damage. Keep the ventilation areas around the PDU clear of obstructions to ensure proper airflow. If network management is used, ensure firmware is kept up-to-date. Clean the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals. The LCD display can be cleaned gently with a soft, lint-free cloth.
