Installation and Components
Vertical Series+ smart PDU is designed to be installed vertically on the back of an equipment rack. The supplied nuts, bolts, and washers must be used to mount and install Vertical Series+ to the rack through the mounting holes (A) following the appropriate local regulations and requirements.
1.1 AC Power: Output Power:
Plug the equipment cord (B) into the suitable receptacles, as needed. Review Introduction, Physical Interfaces, and column Outputs, for the suitable plugs for each model’s receptacles.
1.2 AC Power: Input Power:
Connect power to the Vertical Series+ using the power cord provided with the equipment (C). Do not plug the unit into a relocatable power tap. Check the outlet for correct polarity and presence of a ground conductor before plugging the unit in.
1.3 Ethernet:
The RJ45 connector for Ethernet (D) is situated on the front panel and is only to be used for setup and debugging.
The default IP Address is DHCP assigned. To find IP address of the device, use the discovery tool at surgex.com.
The mDNS protocol is supported for dynamic device discovery.
1.4 USB-MICRO AB:
The USB-MICRO AB connector (E) is for OOB diagnostics and troubleshooting IP connectivity issues. To use, use the discovery tool at surgex.com or manually enter the static IP address 169.254.10.100 into a supported browser. The web server will always be accessible at 169.254.10.100 through this USB port. The web server on this interface cannot be changed and will always be unsecured HTTP at port 80.
1.5 LED Indicators:
The receptacles have individual power indicator LEDs (F). These are paralleled in the control interface. In addition, the unit has an LED indicating power (G).
1.6 Buttons:
1.6.1 The resettable fuse (H) is used to reset the Vertical Series+ in case the fuse is tripped. This is a single push button to the bottom left of the Ethernet RJ45 jack. Also, there is a reset switch for hardware and another for software.
1.6.2 Hardware Reset (I): The Hardware Reset button performs a hard reboot of the processor. This hard reboot will immediately switch controlled outlets off, removing power to connected equipment on all outputs except the 5V output.
1.6.3 Software Reset (J): The Software Reset button is a multi-functional control depending on length of press. If the button is held for greater than 10 seconds, the unit resets itself to factory defaults, and all custom configurations are erased. If the button is held for less than 10 seconds, the unit will perform a software reset that will not reset any data, or power cycle the connected equipment.
Access to the Graphic User Interface via Computer
There are two ways to gain access to the internal Web Server where further setup and configuration is available.
2.1 RJ45 Ethernet Port:
a. Connect the Vertical Series+ smart PDU to a standard Ethernet network.
b. Plug the device into an AC power source. By default, the device is set to DHCP and will pull an IP address once it is connected to an AC power source, assuming that your network is set to DHCP. If your network is set for a Static IP address, access the unit via the USB-OTG Port, then go into the Network setting to change over to Static IP addressing.
c. To find the IP address of the device, download the free SurgeX IP address discovery tool at www.surgex.com. Alternatively, use a third-party IP address discovery tool or look at the IP table built into the network’s router.
d. Using any web browser, type in the unit’s IP address to access the login page:e. The default login credentials are:
Username: admin
Password: Adm1nXXXXXX
XXXXXX are the last six (6) characters of the unit’s MAC address. Change your password after logging in for the first time to minimize security issues.
2.2 USB-OTG Port:
a. Connect the Vertical Series+ smart PDU to your computer using a USB-A to M i cro-USB cable.
b. Plug the device into an AC power source.
c. Using any web browser, type in the default IP address https://169.254.10.100 to access the login page:d. The default login credentials are:
Username: admin
Password: Adm1nXXXXXX
XXXXXX are the last six (6) characters of the unit’s MAC address. Change your password after logging in for the first time to minimize security issues.
