How to install Vertiv PowerIT VP7U60A2

• Plan your rack layout: Verify that your cabinet can accommodate a vertical 0U rPDU and identify the best rear-access point for cabling, ensuring there is sufficient clearance for airflow and maintenance.
• Verify electrical requirements: Confirm that your data center power distribution is configured for 240/415V three-phase power with a 60/63A supply, and ensure the circuit breakers and feeders meet the VP7U60A2’s current rating.
• Mount the rPDU: Install the VP7U60A2 in the desired rack position, aligning with the rear rails. Secure the unit according to the rack manufacturer’s guidelines to ensure stability and proper grounding.
• Connect power and network: Attach the input power cables to the appropriate sources and connect the rPDU’s management interface to your network according to the user manual. Ensure secure network access for monitoring and control.
• Populate outlets and manage loads: Begin connecting devices to the C13 and C19 outlets, distributing critical and non-critical equipment according to your power policy. Configure outlet-level monitoring thresholds and alerts via the management interface as soon as devices are connected.
• Configure monitoring and firmware: Access the built-in management interface to set up alert thresholds, user access controls, and firmware updates. Regularly review power usage data and adjust policies to optimize efficiency and protection.
• Test and validate: Power on connected equipment, verify that each outlet reports status correctly, and confirm that remote switching functions operate as intended. Conduct a simulated surge or fault scenario to validate alerting and failover processes.
