Vertiv™ Rack mount power supply unit
Quick Installation Guide
Before installing the Vertiv™ rack
mount power supply unit (RMPSU),
ensure the following:
• You must have at least a single 1U
(19 in.) rack slot with one or two
power inputs.
• For devices that require a 12 VDC
power supply, you must have a 2 m
link cable for installation.
• For a device that requires a 5 VDC
power supply, you must have a small
converter module positioned close to
the device being powered.
1. Rack mounting the RMPSU
Slide the appliance into the vacant
1U space within a rack and secure
each pre-installed bracket to the
rack using two screws per side.
2. Installing the elongated rack
bracket (optional)
Place the elongated bracket on the
rack, align the screw holes with the
rack and fasten it in place with the
supplied screws.
NOTE: The elongated rack bracket
allows the module to be mounted
immediately behind the device.
3. Mounting power converter
modules
Mount each converter module
close to the device to be powered
by inserting the tabs of the module
through the holes of the elongated
rack bracket and slide the module
to lock it in place.
NOTE: The indentations on the
side of the converter module allow
you to attach the module to other
surfaces using plastic cable ties.
4. Connecting a 5 V device
Connect the 2.5 mm power jack
of the module to the power input
socket on the device. Connect the
locking 3-pin plug to one of the
power output sockets on the rear
panel of the RMPSU main chassis.
5. Connecting a 12 V device
Connect the locking 3-pin plug at
one end of the link cable to the
power input socket of the device,
then connect the 3-pin plug at the
opposite end of the cable to the
power output socket on the rear
panel of the RMPSU main chassis.

6. Connecting a second power
module
Remove the fitted blanking plate to
reveal the power module bay and
slide the power module into the
designated bay until the locking
clip clicks, holding the module in
place. Insert an IEC jumper cord
into the socket on the module and
turn on power.
NOTE: Only use Vertiv™ power
modules with the RMPSU. The
RMPSU identifies non-authorized
power modules as invalid.
7. Connecting to a network
Use a shielded patch cable to
link the Ethernet 10/100 network
port on the front panel of the
main chassis switch to a network
switch. The default IP address is
192.168.1.22 and the default log in
username and password are admin
and password, respectively.
NOTE: Both cross-over and
straight connections are sup-
ported.
