Description

In today’s data centers, power management isn’t just a convenience—it’s a critical component of uptime, efficiency, and operational cost control. The APC Metered Rack PDU delivers precise, actionable energy data right at the point of use, so IT teams can monitor consumption, identify waste, and optimize workloads across dense rack environments. This 2U metered PDU is designed to fit standard 19-inch racks and supports a robust configuration of outlets to support a wide range of equipment—from servers and storage to networking gear. With user-defined alarm thresholds and real-time local and remote alerts, you gain proactive protection against overloads, reduced risk of outages, and clearer visibility into how power is being used across your IT infrastructure. Built to withstand the rigors of modern data centers, it combines reliable power distribution with intuitive metering and alerting capabilities to keep your systems online and your energy costs in check.

  • Accurate energy metering and utilization data: The metered design provides real-time measurements of power usage, giving you precise kilowatt-hour (kWh) readings and demand data. By translating this data into actionable insights, you can optimize energy consumption, identify inefficient workloads, and implement cost-saving strategies across your rack population. This level of visibility helps data-center managers track capacity, forecast electrical loads, and justify infrastructure investments with solid, data-backed metrics.
  • Power protection with user-defined alarm thresholds: Set custom alarm thresholds to align with your facility’s safe operating ranges. When a parameter approaches or exceeds a defined limit, the PDU triggers immediate alerts—locally at the rack and remotely to your monitoring systems—so you can respond before a potential overload affects performance. This proactive approach helps safeguard critical devices, extend equipment life, and maintain uptime in the face of rising demand or unexpected load spikes.
  • Flexible outlet configuration for diverse equipment: With 12 IEC 60320 C13 outlets and 4 IEC 60320 C19 outlets, this PDU accommodates a wide array of devices within a single, organized power strip. The mix of outlet types supports servers, storage arrays, network devices, and other peripherals, enabling you to optimize cable management and keep power distribution clean and efficient in crowded racks.
  • Space-efficient 2U rack-mount design for dense deployments: The compact 2U footprint fits neatly into standard 19-inch racks, making it ideal for high-density environments, edge deployments, or labs where space is at a premium. The rugged construction and straightforward mounting simplify installation, while preserving valuable rack real estate for critical IT equipment.
  • Local and remote alerting for proactive management: Real-time alerts keep your operations team informed, whether you’re on site or coordinating via DCIM or ITSM platforms. This capability supports centralized power monitoring across multiple locations, enabling rapid responses to anomalies and helping ensure service levels are maintained even in distributed environments.

How to install APC by Schneider Electric Rack PDU

  • Prepare and plan: Verify you have a standard 19-inch rack with available 2U space and compatible rails. Confirm the electrical circuit can safely supply 230V and up to 32A.
  • Mount the PDU: Attach the PDU to rack rails using the included mounting hardware. Ensure it is level, secure, and accessible for cabling and monitoring.
  • Connect to power: Connect the PDU’s input to the appropriate 230V power source on a dedicated circuit. Ensure all connections are tight and meet local electrical safety requirements.
  • Route and plug in devices: Plan outlet usage and connect servers, storage devices, and networking gear to the 12 C13 outlets and 4 C19 outlets according to load distribution and device power requirements.
  • Enable metering and alarms: Activate active metering and configure user-defined alarm thresholds. Set up local or remote alerting in alignment with your monitoring and incident response policies.
  • Power up and verify: Apply power, confirm readings on the PDU’s display or your monitoring system, and test alarm functionality to ensure alerts trigger at the configured thresholds.
