How to install APC Rack PDU 9000 Switched

• Plan a proper mounting solution: position the ZeroU PDU in a compatible rack, ensuring it is securely mounted and aligned with power distribution to maximize airflow and cable management.
• Connect to the correct power circuit: supply the PDU from a 230 VAC source that matches the device’s electrical rating and the data-center circuit available in your facility. Use appropriate protective devices as required by local codes.
• Attach loads to receptacles: distribute servers, storage, network gear, and other equipment across the 21 C13 and 3 C19 outlets to balance load and optimize cooling efficiency.
• Configure remote management: access the PDU’s web interface or management card to assign an IP address (static or DHCP), enable remote monitoring, configure user access roles, and set up alerting preferences.
• Set up power sequencing and groups: define outlet sequencing to control startup and shutdown sequences for dependent devices, create outlet groups for coordinated power events, and establish automatic responses to overload or fault conditions.
• Verify operation and security: perform a power cycle test to confirm outlet switching works as expected, validate monitoring alerts, and review security settings to ensure only authorized users can control power.
