    IEBERT NTRODUCTION The Liebert MPX is an Adaptive Rack PDU (power distribution unit) built with modular and scalable components that can be installed and reconfigured on-site to meet varying input and output power connectivity needs. The Liebert MPX Adaptive Rack PDU family consists of the following compo- nents: •...

    MPX BRMs. The MPX PRC has five power bus slots that allow the connection of the MPX PEM and MPX BRM modules to three phases of power, neutral and protective earth. A communication bus provides the path through which the Liebert RPC, MPX PEM and MPX BRM modules communicate.
  • Page 9: Mounting Features

    The MPX PEM securely fastens onto the MPX PRC (Power Rail Chassis) to deliver polyphase power from its power supply cord to the power bus. The Liebert RPC is installed into the MPX PEM for its operating power and connection to the communication bus.

    2.2.1 MPX IPC—Input Power Cord/Communication The MPX IPC is a detachable input power cord that permits changing the input power source for Variable-Capacity versions of the MPX PEM. A variety of single- and three-phase NEMA and IEC plug types are available. The MPX IPC is not required for the Fixed-Capacity MPX PEM.

    MPX BRMs are hot-swappable to allow user installation without powering down the Liebert MPX. Up to three standard sized (266mm) MPX BRMs can be deployed on a Liebert MPX utilizing the MPX PRC (Power Rail Chassis) for typical 23U racks and up to six standard size MPX BRMs (Branch Receptacle Modules) for units utilizing the 1880mm MPX PRC for typical 42U racks.

    RPCBDM is cable-connected to the Liebert RPC allowing the user to locate the display to suit the local reading requirements. A 2-meter cable and general mounting provisions are provided. A single display can be used for up to four Liebert MPX or Liebert MPH Rack PDUs connected in a Rack PDU Array ™...

    Before beginning, consider how cables will be routed in the rack. Placing the MPX PEM (Power Entry Module) at the end of the MPX PRC that is nearest the entry point for its input power cable can ease cable routing and help separate control and power cables to reduce electromagnetic interference.

    If cables will enter through the top of the rack, be sure that the MPX PRC has the power bus to the right side. This will put the MPX PEM in a position where the input cord will be closest to the top of the rack.

    The Liebert MPX will operate properly if spaces exist between modules, but adding modules will be hampered unless the space left is the size of a standard MPX BRM. Decorative covers are available to reserve the proper space on the MPX PRC and to protect any unused sections of the unit’s surface.

  • Page 24: Operation And Configuration

    PERATION AND ONFIGURATION A Liebert MPX can be operated with or without the optional Liebert RPC (rack PDU card). The card employs a Web-based interface to enhance monitoring and control, enabling users to manage rack equipment locally or from a remote location. The Liebert RPC can be used to determine power usage, switch receptacles on some units On and Off and troubleshoot input power supply problems.
  • Page 25: Indicators

    After the Liebert RPC (rack PDU card) is installed and configured, the card is ready to be used to monitor and manage the Liebert MPX as described below. If the card is not installed and configured, refer to 3.2.4 - Install an Optional Liebert RPC in the MPX PEM and 5.1 - Configure the Lie- bert RPC.
  • Page 26: Operation Without The Liebert Rpc

    Device Explorer Operation Without the Liebert RPC The Liebert MPX can be operated without the optional Liebert RPC (rack PDU card) but with reduced functionality. After the unit is installed and assembled, connect rack equipment to the receptacles, connect input power and by switch on the circuit breaker on each MPX BRM (Branch Receptacle Module).
