Product Information

Full details

This APC by Schneider Electric Metered Rack PDU is designed for IT professionals managing server racks, offering efficient and monitored power distribution for zero U vertical mounting. Its key benefit is providing clear visibility into power consumption and enabling remote management to prevent overloads and ensure uptime. A potential caveat is that advanced features like local current monitoring displays are available on designated SKUs only. It features 16 C13 outlets, supports up to 10A at 230V, and offers remote monitoring via web, SNMP, and SSH.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum current this PDU can handle?

The PDU supports a maximum current of 10A for the entire unit.

Can I monitor power usage remotely?

Yes, this PDU supports remote monitoring via Web, Telnet, SNMP, and SSH interfaces, as well as integration with StruxureWare Data Center Expert.

How does the 'Zero U' mounting work?

Zero U means the PDU mounts vertically within the rack's frame, taking up no horizontal rack space, allowing for more equipment to be installed.

What type of outlets does this PDU have?

It features 16 x IEC C13 coupler outlets.

Does this PDU have a local display for monitoring?

Some SKUs of this PDU include a local current monitoring display. Please check the specific product details for your unit.

What is the input power connector type?

The PDU has an IEC C14 input plug.

Can I update the PDU's firmware?

Yes, for networked units, the firmware can be upgraded via network download to implement future enhancements.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Warranty information typically varies by region and supplier. Please refer to the product documentation or contact the point of purchase for specific warranty details.

Troubleshooting

PDU not powering on

Verify the power cord is securely connected to both the PDU and the power source. Ensure the power source is active and providing the correct voltage. Check the circuit breaker for the power source.

Overload alarm triggered

Check the local current monitoring display or remote interface to identify which outlets are drawing the most power. Unplug non-essential devices or redistribute load to another circuit or PDU. Consult the manual for setting appropriate alarm thresholds.

Unable to access web interface

Confirm the PDU is connected to the network. Verify the PDU's IP address and ensure your computer is on the same network subnet. Restart the PDU and your network equipment. Consult the PDU's manual for default IP address and login credentials.

Device connected to outlet not receiving power

Ensure the device itself is powered on and its power cord is securely plugged into the C13 outlet. Check if the PDU is overloaded or if the specific outlet is functioning correctly. Try connecting a different known-working device to the outlet.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Efficient zero U vertical mounting saves valuable rack space.
  • Provides metered power with local and remote monitoring options to prevent overloads.
  • Supports remote management via multiple protocols (Web, SNMP, SSH, Telnet).
  • Toolless mounting simplifies and speeds up installation.
  • High density of 16 C13 outlets for connecting numerous devices.

Cons

  • Local current monitoring display may not be available on all SKUs.
  • Maximum current capacity of 10A might be limiting for high-power equipment setups.
  • Firmware upgrades via network are only applicable to networked units.
  • Requires specific C14 input plug and compatible power source.
  • Device depth might be a consideration for very compact rack configurations.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Mounting: The PDU is designed for Zero U vertical mounting. Utilize the included rack mounting brackets for toolless installation into compatible racks. Ensure the rack has sufficient vertical space.
  2. Power Connection: Connect the PDU's 10-foot power cord (with IEC C14 input plug) to a suitable power source. Ensure the power source can supply the required voltage (200-250V) and meet the PDU's 10A maximum current capacity.
  3. Network Connection (Optional): For remote management, connect the PDU to your network using its Ethernet port.

Compatibility:

  • Rack Type: Compatible with standard 19-inch racks and APC NetShelter enclosures.
  • Voltage: Supports input voltages from 200-250V, distributing 230V to connected devices.
  • Outlets: Features 16 x IEC C13 outlets, commonly found on server power supplies and IT equipment.
  • Input Plug: Requires a power source with an IEC C14 inlet.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Disconnect the PDU from the power source before cleaning. Wipe the exterior with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Ventilation: Ensure adequate airflow around the PDU and the rack to prevent overheating.
  • Firmware Updates: Regularly check for firmware updates for networked units to ensure optimal performance and security.
