IDC Installation Plan and Unpacking

Use the following basic sequence of steps to install the Integrated Distribution Cabinet (IDC).
1. Create an installation plan for the IDC (Chapter 2).
2. Prepare your site for the IDC (Chapter 2).
3. Inspect, unpack, and unload the IDC (Chapter 2 and 3).
4. Wire the system (Chapter 3).
5. Complete the installation checklist (Chapter 3).
6. Have authorized service personnel perform preliminary operational checks and startup.
Note:
2.1

Creating an Installation Plan

Before installing the IDC, read and understand how this manual applies to the system being installed. Use the
procedures and illustrations in the following chapters to create a logical plan for installing the system.
2.2

Preparing the Site

For the IDC to operate at peak efficiency, the installation site should meet the environmental parameters
outlined in this manual. If the IDC is to be operated at an altitude higher than 1500m (5000 ft), contact your
Eaton service representative for important information about high altitude operation. The operating
environment must meet the weight, clearance, and environmental requirements specified in Drawing
164201690-2 starting on page 9-3 and size requirements specified in Drawing 164201690-10 starting on
page 9-38.
The IDC uses natural convection cooling to regulate internal component temperature. Air inlets are in the
bottom of the cabinet and outlets are in the top (see Drawing 164201690-10 starting on page 9-38). You must
allow clearance in front of and above each IDC, and the bottom of the cabinet must be free of any obstructions
for proper air circulation. See Drawing 164201690-2 on page 9-3 for clearances.
2.2.1

Environmental Considerations

The life of the IDC is adversely affected if the installation does not meet the following guidelines:
1. The system must be installed on a level floor suitable for computer or electronic equipment.
2. The system must be installed in a temperature and humidity controlled indoor area free of conductive
contaminants.
Failure to follow guidelines may void your warranty.
2.2.2

Preparing for Wiring the IDC

Note:
Power and control wiring for a line-up-and-match IDC are supplied with the cabinet.
Wiring requirements, for an IDC installed separate from the UPS cabinet, including the minimum AWG size of
external wiring, are specified in Drawing 164201690-5 starting on page 9-12. The input power wiring
connections for this equipment are rated at 90C. If the ambient temperature is greater than 40C, higher
temperature wire and/or larger size wire may be necessary. IDC control wiring requirements are specified in
Drawing 164201690-9 starting on page 9-33 and should be connected at the IDC interface terminal block
located inside the IDC.
Startup and operational checks must be performed by an authorized Eaton Customer Service
Engineer, or the warranty terms as specified on page 8-1 become void. This service is offered as part
of the sales contract for the UPS system. Contact your Eaton service representative in advance
(usually a two-week notice is required) to reserve a preferred startup date.
A minimum of two separate feeds with upstream feeder breakers, or one feed with two upstream
feeder breakers, must be provided. One for the UPS and one for the IDC bypass input. DO NOT use
one feed or a single feeder breaker to supply both the UPS and IDC.
