7. Record where each piece of rack equipment is connected, using the branch and receptacle

numbers on the MPH2™ Rack PDU.

8. Post the connection information on or near the rack and at any remote monitoring location.
9. Connect input power to the MPH2™ Rack PDU. On Types R, C and M models, the receptacle

LEDs pulse RED indicating that the branch circuit breakers are open.

10. Verify that input power is present and the line-status LEDs are illuminated green and steady

state. If any LEDs are not lit or are blinking, refer to Table 5-2 - Line LED Troubleshooting, page
39.

11. Close the branch circuit breakers. The receptacle LEDs should emit a non-blinking, steady

state green light. If any LEDs are not lit or are blinking, refer to Table 5-1 - Receptacle LED
Troubleshooting, page 38.

12. Turn on the connected devices one at a time and verify that each is operating properly.
13. Ensure that the specified ratings found on the rack PDU name plate are not exceeded.
14. Monitor and control the MPH2™ Rack PDU as detailed in the RPC2 user manual, SL-20841,

available at

www.VertivCo.com.

3.5 Installing Optional Items

The following items may be added to an MPH2™ Rack PDU system but are not required: 

RPC Basic Display Module

Liebert® SN temperature/humidity sensors

3.5.1 RPC Basic Display Module Installation

The RPC Basic Display Module (BDM) provides local display of parametric data, including electrical status,
temperature and humidity for all connected MPH2™ Rack PDUs. Display information is accessed via a
navigation switch on the BDM. The RPC BDM is connected by cable to the MPH2™ Rack PDU, allowing the
user to install the display to suit the local reading preferences. A 6.5-ft. (2-m) cable and general mounting
provisions are provided. A single display can be used for up to four rack PDUs connected in a Rack PDU
Array™.

The RPC BDM can be mounted in the rack with either the included hardware or with a cable tie through
the slot on the back of the module. Either method permits moving the BDM to a different place in the
same rack or to another rack.

NOTE: See the RPC2™ Communications Module Installer/User Guide for more detailed information
about operating the BDM.
