APC Basic Rack PDU AP9565 User Manual

Read the following information before installing or operating your APC 
Rack Power Distribution Unit (PDU):

• This PDU is intended for indoor use only. 
• Do not install this PDU where excessive moisture or heat is 

present.

• Never install any wiring, equipment, or PDUs during a lightning 

storm.

• Plug this PDU into a three-wire, grounded power outlet only. The 

power outlet must be connected to appropriate branch circuit/
mains protection (fuse or circuit breaker). Connection to any other 
type of power outlet may result in a shock hazard.

• Use only the supplied brackets for mounting.
• Do not work alone under hazardous conditions.
• Check that the power cord, plug, and socket are in good condition.
• Disconnect the PDU from the power outlet before you install or 

connect equipment to reduce the risk of electric shock when you 
cannot verify grounding. Reconnect the PDU to the power outlet 
only after you make all connections.

• Use a protective earth connector with equipment. This type of 

connector carries the leakage current from the load devices 
(computer equipment). Do not exceed a total leakage current of 
3.5 mA.

Risk of electrical shock. Use only the supplied hardware to 
attach the mounting brackets.
