How to install Liebert VP4N6003

• Plan the installation by verifying rack space, clearance for cables, and access to the UPS and utility power. Confirm that your cabinet is a standard 19-inch rack and that there is a suitable distribution path to feed the PDU.
• Power down non-critical equipment if required and prepare the incoming power for the PDU. Ensure the circuit you connect to can handle the combined load of all outlets you intend to use.
• Mount the VP4N6003 in the designated rack space using the provided mounting hardware. Align it for convenient access to IEC outlets and NEMA connectors while preserving proper airflow around the rear of the cabinet.
• Connect the PDU’s input power to the appropriate power source or UPS output using the correct power cord, following laboratory and electrical safety standards. Ensure the connection is secure and that the circuit complies with local electrical codes.
• Route IT device power cables to the appropriate outlets (C13/C19, NEMA 5-20R, or NEMA L14-30R) with tidy cable management. Label circuits if needed to simplify ongoing maintenance and future audits.
• Configure metering, alarms, and integration settings according to your facility’s management practices. If using the GXT5 UPS, verify communication and coordination between the UPS and PDU for optimized power protection and graceful shutdown behavior during outages.
• Power up the rack, validate outlet availability, and monitor real-time load through the PDU’s indicators or your monitoring software. Conduct a brief test by enabling a representative mix of devices to confirm balanced distribution and absence of overloads.
