APC by Schneider Electric InfraStruxure PDU

The APC InfraStruxure Configurable Power Distribution Unit (PDU) is engineered to meet the evolving demands of modern data centers with unmatched agility, reliability, and deployment speed. When your workloads shift, your power backbone should adapt just as quickly. These factory-tested PDUs are designed to fit your exact specifications, offering flexible overhead or underfloor installation, scalable configurations, and integrated monitoring that helps you optimize capacity, reduce risk, and improve uptime. With InfraStruxure, you can tailor power distribution to your rack space, maximize energy efficiency, and simplify management across your IT environment.

• Customizable layouts to fit any rack footprint and cabinet depth, delivering precise voltage and amperage per outlet for fine-grained power control; supports diverse outlet configurations, adjustable phase distribution, modular cable management, and scalable metering that aligns with your DCIM strategy for accurate, real-time load visibility.
• Overhead and underfloor installation options provide flexible deployment in new or retrofit data centers, minimizing disruption and enabling rapid power-on timelines; clever routing options, secure mounting, and alignment with raised-floor or ceiling-fed systems simplify integration with existing infrastructure.
• Factory-tested performance with comprehensive monitoring and management features, including proactive diagnostics, outlet-level metering, and configurable alarms that alert operations teams before issues impact availability; designed to meet stringent data-center reliability standards and support lean maintenance practices.
• Advanced remote management and seamless integration with the APC EcoStruxure platform for centralized IT power oversight, persistent alarms, capacity planning, and data-driven analytics that drive efficiency, energy savings, and smarter capacity expansion decisions across multiple sites.
• Efficient, scalable design that supports future workloads, hot-swappable modules, and easy expansion as your infrastructure grows; modular components enable simple upgrades, reduced total cost of ownership, and flexibility to adapt to changing data center footprints and load profiles.

How to install APC by Schneider Electric InfraStruxure PDU

Install guidance crafted to ensure safe, efficient deployment and reliable power distribution in modern data centers. Follow these steps to optimize performance and minimize downtime.

• Plan the power architecture by assessing load requirements, selecting overhead or underfloor feed configurations, and determining the appropriate outlet types, voltages, and amperage distribution for each rack.
• Prepare the rack and cabinet: verify available space, ensure proper airflow, and confirm compatibility with existing mounting rails and cable management accessories before mounting the PDU.
• Mount the PDU securely in the rack or cabinet chassis, route feeders with clean, organized cabling, and implement cable management practices to avoid obstructed airflow and ensure easy access for service.
• Connect input power cables per local electrical codes and standards, install protective devices as required, and verify grounding and bonding to safeguard personnel and equipment.
• Configure monitoring and management: enable device discovery, set up sensors for temperature, humidity, inlet air, and voltage, and connect to EcoStruxure or your preferred DCIM solution for centralized oversight.
• Test and validate: perform a staged power-on sequence, verify outlet availability, confirm load balancing, test redundancy and switch-over capabilities, and document the configuration for operations teams and future audits.
