How to install VERTIV RMPSU

Follow these general steps to install the RMPSU in a standard IT rack environment. Ensure you have the proper mounting hardware and any rack rails compatible with your facility’s rack system. Because exact installation procedures can vary by chassis and rack, always refer to your facility’s safety and equipment guidelines in conjunction with this overview.

• Power down and unplug connected devices: Before installation, ensure all equipment is powered down to prevent electrical shock or equipment damage.
• Prepare the rack space: Clear the mounting area in the rack and confirm there is adequate ventilation around the RMPSU to maintain optimal operating temperatures.
• Mount the RMPSU securely: Use the appropriate rack rails and mounting hardware to secure the RMPSU in the designated rack bay, ensuring stable support and proper alignment with other devices.
• Connect input power and data cabling: Attach the RMPSU to the building’s power source according to local electrical codes and route cables to Avocent HMX, LV Extender, or other compatible devices.
• Power up and verify operation: Restore power to the rack, power on connected devices, and confirm that the RMPSU is delivering stable voltage to load devices. Monitor for alerts or status indicators in your management system to verify proper function.
• Document configuration and maintain readiness: Record the installation details, including rack location, cable routes, and any redundancy settings. Establish a routine to check power status during regular maintenance windows.
