Mounting PDU's (AP7930J) to a 4 Post Rack (AR203A)

[Anonymous user]

We recently were tasked with setting up a network that the client purchased themselves. We currently have one APC 4 Post rack (model # AR203A) and two Zero-U APC PDU's (model # AP7930J). We would like to mount the PDUs on the side of the rack with the outlets facing to the rear of the rack if possible. The brackets that came with the PDU's require them to take up 2 - 1U areas on each side of the rack vertical uprights... hardly making them Zero-U.

Any suggestions?

Anyone have an answer to this?

i dont have much experience with this rack and don't have one to look at but the only other mounting options we have are here -> http://www.apc.com/products/family/index.cfm?id=2

generally those PDUs are mounted into an enclosure (something like AR3100) and go into a 0U channel in the back.

oh thanks for letting us know.

We ended up using the AR8652 brackets on the outside of the rack to mount both PDU's.

Worked like a charm.
