Network Setup - Vertiv VP8841 Manual

Vertiv Intelligent Rack PDU

4.2.2. NETWORK SETUP

The Monitored Vertiv Upgradeable PDU has a default IP address for initial setup and access. Once you
have assigned an IP address, the default IP address will no longer be active. To restore the default IP ad-
dress and reset all user-account information, if the user-assigned address or passwords are lost or forgot-
ten, press and hold the network-reset button located below the Ethernet port for 15 seconds. Holding the
center button of the LED display for 10 seconds will also reset the network and user account information.
To completely erase ALL of the user settings and restore the unit back to its factory-default state, discon-
nect power from the PDU, then press and hold the network-reset button while powering up the PDU.
The Network page (located under the System Tab) allows you to assign the network properties manually,
or use DHCP to connect to your network. Access to the unit requires the IP address to be known. Use of
a static IP or a reserved DHCP is recommended. The default address is shown on the front of the unit:

To access the unit for the first time, you will need to temporarily change your computer's network settings
to match the 192.168.123. xxx subnet. To set up the unit, connect it to your computer's Ethernet port,
then follow the appropriate instructions for your computer's operating system.
