- When installing the PDUs, ensure that the power cord plug is accessible, and that the PDU is connected to a grounded outlet.
Mounting options
You can install the Rack PDU in one of two ways: using toolless mounting pegs (provided) or mounting brackets (provided). The 1-U and 2-U horizontal Rack PDUs must be mounted using the horizontal mounting brackets.
Vertical mounting.
- To install the Rack 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 Rack PDU using the mounting brackets, install it on a vertical mounting rail on your rack or enclosure.
Horizontal mounting.
To install the Rack PDU using the horizontal mounting brackets, install the brackets on the Rack PDU and then attach the PDU to the rack using caged nuts (provided with your enclosure).
Toolless mounting
- Slide both mounting pegs into the holes located in the channel in the rear panel of the enclosure.
- Snap the Rack PDU into place by pushing it downward until it locks into position.
**** You can mount two PDUs on one side of the enclosure by using the toolless mounting method.

Life-Support Policy
General policy
American Power Conversion (APC) does not recommend the use of any of its products in the following situations:
- In life-support applications where failure or malfunction of the APC product can be reasonably expected to cause failure of the life-support device or to affect significantly its safety or effectiveness.
- In direct patient care.
APC will not knowingly sell its products for use in such applications unless it receives in writing assurances satisfactory to APC that (a) the risks of injury or damage have been minimized, (b) the customer assumes all such risks, and (c) the liability of American Power Conversion is adequately protected under the circumstances.
Examples of life-support devices
The term life-support device includes but is not limited to neonatal oxygen analyzers, nerve stimulators (whether used for anesthesia, pain relief, or other purposes), autotransfusion devices, blood pumps, defibrillators, arrhythmia detectors and alarms, pacemakers, hemodialysis systems, peritoneal dialysis systems, neonatal ventilator incubators, ventilators (for adults and infants), anesthesia ventilators, infusion pumps, and any other devices designated as “critical” by the U.S. FDA.
