Chapter 20. Power Management Module replacement and
configuration

Replacement
The current Power Management Module is the APC MasterSwitch Power
Distribution Unit, Model AP9212. We call it the Power Management Module in
order to avoid confusion with the IBM Netfinity Power Distribution Unit, the
fourteen-outlet power distribution bars that fit into sidepockets on the mounting
rack and plug into the main power supply for the site. In this document, 'PDU'
will refer exclusively to the power distribution bars.
To replace the Power Management Module, you must remove the tray from the
cabinet.
