Switch the PDU’s
Main Breaker
to the On position, and the
Φ
A,
Φ
B,
Φ
C indicators will be lit. These indicators do not
necessarily mean power is applied to the outlets. They simply means the main breaker is on and power is
available
to
all the branch breakers. The internal outlet control relays, branch breakers, and remote switching/EPO system are able
to prevent power from reaching the outlets.

Switch each branch breaker to the On position. The internal outlet control relays, and remote switching/EPO system
are able to prevent power from reaching the outlets. However, with a factory default setup, power should now be
applied to all outlets.
I there is not an EPO panel connected to the PDU, leave the
Remote Override
switch to the up position.
If there is a remote EPO panel connected to the PDU, such as Marway’s Commander UCP 5000, flip the switch to the
down
Remote
position. This system is discussed in detail farther down, as well as in the
Optima RCM User Guide :
Software and Basic Controls Reference
located on our website.
The PDU can continue to be used in this way as long as needed. The software can be configured later, or can be left
unconfigured if it will not be used.
3.1.2
Startup to Configure the Software
The document
Optima RCM User Guide : Software and Basic Controls Reference
is the complete resource for the process of configuring the network settings, and other software
features of the PDU. Obtain that document, and review the Getting Started chapter.
In effect, prepare the Serial and Ethernet connections to the PDU as described in the
Software Guide
, then use the
startup process described above in
“3.1.1 Startup Without Configuring the Software” on page 8
3.2 Ethernet and Serial Control
The document
Optima RCM User Guide : Software and Basic Controls Reference
is the complete resource for how to setup, configure, and operate the Optima RCM software over serial,
Telnet, SSH, HTTP, SNMP, and RESTful API.
The Ethernet connection supports 10/100 Base-T, IPv4 DHCP and manual addressing. It is recommended to use a
manual address, or DHCP in conjunction with MAC ID reservations so that the IP address stays consistent.
The Serial interface is RS-232 implemented in an RJ45 connector. A protocol conversion cable with a USB connection at
one end and an RJ45 at the other end is ideal for connecting a computer to the Serial port. Marway offers these cables as
part number 311118-000. They can also be found on many online cable retailer web sites.
3.3 Breaker Controls
3.3.1 Main Breaker
The
Main Breaker
prevents or enables power to all PDU outlets. When
Main Breaker
is switched on, the indicators
labeled
Φ
A,
Φ
B,
Φ
C will be lit.
This breaker includes a breaker guard with a lockout feature. Attaching a small padlock (not included) through the guard
hole will prevent the breaker from being switched on.
Be aware that when the
Remote Override
mode switch is in the
Off
position, power is disconnected from the switched
outlets even if the main breaker is on.
