Chapter 2: Installation 7

Installation environment

When installing the PM IPDU, ensure that the following environment specifications are met.

NOTE: Install a PM IPDU 0U model in a location where there is an adjacent and accessible socket outlet.

CAUTION: The plug on the power cord of the PM IPDU is used as the disconnect device.

To mount the PM10 IPDU or PM10i IPDU:

1. Using a Phillips screwdriver, attach the supplied brackets to the sides of the PM IPDU.

2. Use the mounting hardware recommended for your rack to mount the PM IPDU.

Table 2.2: PM IPDU Optimum Installation Environment

Environment Factor Recommendation

Temperature The manufacturer's maximum recommended ambient temperature for the

PM IPDU is 122 ºF (50 ºC).

Elevated Operating Ambient

Temperature

If the PM IPDU is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the

operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater

than room ambient temperature. Therefore, consideration should be given

to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the

manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient temperature. See above.

Reduced Air Flow Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air

flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

Mechanical Loading Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous

condition is not created due to uneven mechanical loading.

Circuit Overloading Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the

supply circuit and the effect that overloading of circuits might have on

overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of

equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing

this concern.

Reliable Grounding Reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.

Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct

connections to the branch circuit, such as power strips or extension cords.
