Operation
The Pumped Refrigerant System
System Operation
The primary function of the Pumped Refrigerant System is to capture the heat generated by IT
equipment and neutralize it before it mixes with the room air. The pumped refrigerant system uses two
circuits to remove heat. In the first circuit, water or a water/glycol mixture is pumped from the chiller
into a brazed plate heat exchanger located inside the RDU.
In the second circuit, R134a refrigerant circulates from the RDU to Cooling Modules located either over
the hot aisle or in the row. Cooling Module fans draw in hot air across their micro channel coil
completely evaporating the liquid refrigerant. The refrigerant vapor then returns to the RDU. There the
vapor is condensed back into a liquid in the brazed plate heat exchanger which rejects the heat to the
chilled water.
The system does only sensible cooling. No energy is wasted in latent energy removal. Less energy is
used to satisfy the IT load. A thermal containment system will further increase efficiency. A
conventional computer room air conditioner is used in conjunction with the pumped refrigerant system
to provide humidity control.
The pumped refrigerant system is flexible. Each system is configured to the user’s specific requirements.
As cooling needs increase, the system can be expanded. A system may have multiple RDUs. One RDU
can supply OA Cooling Modules and RA Cooling Modules.
Note: Only APC certified technicians should service the pumped refrigerant system.
Refrigerant Circulation
Each cooling module is connected to the RDU by overhead or under floor refrigerant distribution piping.
Note: Under floor refrigerant piping is not recommended.
Multiple electronic valves in each CM automatically regulate the refrigerant flow and coil temperature to
met the IT load at the desired supply air set point.
See the “OA Piping Diagram” on page 1 for the locations of the valves and sensors on the OA
Cooling Modules. See “RA Piping Diagram” on page 1 for the locations of the valves and
sensors on the RA Cooling Module
Refrigerant is circulated through the system by two fully redundant refrigerant pumps. The RDU display
interface allows you to program the number of run hours a pump will operate before switching to the
second pump. Pump redundancy ensures that the cooling modules continue to run uninterrupted.
The RDU is equipped with a subcooler to further cool the refrigerant leaving the brazed plate heat
exchanger. This additional subcooling allows the refrigerant pumps to operate correctly and efficiently
while responding to varying IT loads.
8
Pumped Refrigerant System Operation and Maintenance
In the absence of an IT load or when all the CMs are turned off, the RDU refrigerant pumps continue to
operate by bypassing the refrigerant through a pump head pressure control valve. This head pressure
control valve allows continuous operation of the pumps regardless of the load. While in bypass, the
refrigerant pumps reduce to a minimum speed allowing minimal power consumption and avoid the wear
of frequent starts and stops.
See the “Pumped Refrigerant System Piping Diagram” on page 1 for the locations of the RDU
components discussed above.
The RDU monitors room conditions to control the refrigerant condensing temperature relative to the
room dew point.
See the RDU Installation Manual, OA Installation Manual, and RA Installation Manual for
more information.

Pumped Refrigerant System Operation and Maintenance
23
Control the Environment
The primary function of the Pumped Refrigerant System is to capture the heat generated by IT
equipment and neutralize it before it mixes with the room air.
Controls in the RDU monitor room conditions to ensure the leaving refrigerant temperature to the CMs is
always above the room dew point.
In a HACS or RACS environment, the CMs neutralize the heat accumulated in the common hot aisle and
expel it into the surrounding environmental space at the desired temperature.
Path: Main > Groups > Select Group > Setpoints
A setpoint is the target value that a cooling group tries to maintain. The default setpoints are appropriate
for most cooling applications.
The setpoints for each mode must be within the following ranges:
Cool Stpt. 22.2°C (66 - 90°F) This setting is only available in InRow mode.
Supply Stpt. 17.8–29.4°C (64.0–84.9°F)
Note: The Supply Stpt setting is defined by APC authorized personnel only when the group is
commissioned.
Note: The Supply Stpt setting must never be set higher than the Cool setpoint.
Fan Speed. When the CM is programmed for HACS or RACS mode and Air Flow is set to Auto, the
Air Flow property specifies the desired temperature difference (dT) across the IT equipment.
When the CM is programmed for InRow, HACS or RACS with Air Flow set to Manual, select the Fan
Speed from the following options.
• Low: 16.7°C (30°F) DT (60% of maximum fan speed)
• Med-Low: 13.9°C (25°F) DT (70% of maximum fan speed)
• Med: 11.1°C (20°F) DT (80% of maximum fan speed)
• Med-High: 6.3°C (15°F) DT (90% of maximum fan speed)
• High: 5.6°C (10°F) DT (100% of maximum fan speed)
The Fan Speed setting is ignored when the CM is set to the InRow mode and Air Flow is set to Auto.

Path: Main > Groups > Select Group
Set Cool PID. Tune the Rack Inlet Temperature Controller. (InRow mode only)
Reset to Defaults. Resets to the default settings.
The Proportional plus Integral plus Derivative (PID) loop controls the output of the fans.
NOTICE
HAZARD TO EQUIPMENT
This procedure is to be performed by APC authorized personnel only. Improperly set PID
controls could result in equipment damage.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.
Gain (P). The proportional multiplier (gain) for this mode or actuator. The proportional multiplier
adjusts for the difference (error) between the measured value and the setpoint.
Rate (I). The integral multiplier (reset rate) for this mode or actuator. The integral multiplier adjusts for
error measurement and the amount of time that the error has existed. The integral multiplier adds to or
subtracts from the output in small increments to correct for the offset error caused by the proportional
contribution.
Deriv (D). The derivative multiplier (derivative) for this mode or actuator. The derivative multiplier
adjusts the output for rapid changes in the error, correcting for the rate of change of the error.
26
Pumped Refrigerant System Operation and Maintenance
Tune the PID loop
Tune the PID loop to optimize the performance of the cooling group.
NOTICE
HAZARD TO EQUIPMENT
This procedure is to be performed by APC authorized personnel only. The PID loop must
be tuned after the equipment in the room is installed and running.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.
Note: The PID loop should be tuned periodically to account for changes in the room load.
1. Adjust the integral and derivative constants to zero and the proportional constant to 1.0.
2. Set the temperature setpoint value and start the cooling group.
3. When the temperature reaches a stable value, increase the proportional constant by 0.5. If the
temperature does not respond to this change, adjust the setpoint.
4. Repeat step 3 until the temperature value starts to oscillate and the peak amplitude of the
oscillations is constant.
5. Note the time, in minutes, between the peaks of the oscillations. This is the Ultimate Period, PU.
6. Note the value of the proportional constant. This is the Ultimate Gain, GU.
7. Compute the PID constants using the table below. Use the equations for that control method in
the row to compute the values for each constant.

Network Management Card
Quick Configuration
Overview
Note: Disregard the procedures described in this chapter if you have APC InfraStruxure®
Central as part of your system. See the documentation for your device for more information.
You must configure the following TCP/IP settings before the RDU can operate on a network:
• IP address of the RDU
• Subnet mask
• Default gateway
Note: If a default gateway is unavailable, use the IP address of a computer that is located on
the same subnet as the RDU and that is usually running. The RDU uses the default gateway to
test the network when traffic is very light.
Note: Do not use the loopback address (127.0.0.1) as the default gateway address for the
RDU. It disables the card and requires you to reset the TCP/IP settings to their defaults using a
local serial login.
See “Watchdog Features” in the “Introduction” of the Rack PDU User’s Guide for more
information about the watchdog role of the default gateway.
TCP/IP configuration methods
Use one of the following methods to define the TCP/IP settings needed by the RDU:
• APC Device IP Configuration Wizard (See “APC Device IP Configuration Wizard” on page 1.)
• BOOTP or DHCP server (See “BOOTP and DHCP configuration” on page 1.)
• Networked computer (See “Local access to the command line interface” on page 1 or “Remote
access to the command line interface” on page 1.)
44
Pumped Refrigerant System Operation and Maintenance
APC Device IP Configuration Wizard
You can use the APC Device IP Configuration Wizard at a computer running Microsoft® Windows®
2000, Windows Server® 2003, or Windows XP to discover unconfigured RDUs and configure their basic
TCP/IP settings, one card at a time, over the network.
Note: Most software firewalls must be temporarily disabled for the Wizard to discover
unconfigured RDUs.
1. If autorun is enabled, the user interface of the CD starts when you insert the Utility CD into a
computer on your network. Otherwise, open the file contents.htm on the CD.
2. Select the Device IP Configuration Wizard from the main menu.
3. When the Wizard discovers the unconfigured RDU, follow the on-screen instructions.
Note: If you leave the option Start a Web browser when finished enabled, you can access
the RDU through your browser by using apc (the default) for both the user name and
password.
.ini file utility
You can use the .ini file export utility to export .ini file settings from configured RDUs to one or more
unconfigured RDUs. The utility and documentation are included on the Utility CD.
BOOTP and DHCP configuration
The default TCP/IP configuration setting, BOOTP & DHCP, assumes that a properly configured
BOOTP or DHCP server is available to provide TCP/IP settings to RDUs. The RDU first attempts to
discover a properly configured BOOTP server, and then a DHCP server. It repeats this pattern until it
discovers a BOOTP or DHCP server.
A user configuration (.ini) file can function as a BOOTP or DHCP boot file. For more
information, see the TCP/IP configuration section of the InRow RD User’s Guide, available
from the Utility CD or the APC Web site, www.apc.com.
If neither of these servers is available, see “APC Device IP Configuration Wizard” on page 1,
“Local access to the command line interface” on page 1, or “Remote access to the command
line interface” on page 1 to configure the needed TCP/IP settings.
BOOTP. For the Rack PDU to use a BOOTP server to configure its TCP/IP settings, it must find a
properly configured RFC951-compliant BOOTP server.
In the BOOTPTAB file of the BOOTP server, enter the RDU’s MAC address, IP address, subnet mask,
and default gateway, and, optionally, a bootup file name. Look for the MAC address on the bottom of the
RDU or on the Quality Assurance slip included in the package.
When the RDU reboots, the BOOTP server provides it with the TCP/IP settings.
• If you specified a bootup file name, the RDU attempts to transfer that file from the BOOTP server
using TFTP or FTP. The RDU assumes all settings specified in the bootup file.
• If you did not specify a bootup file name, you can configure the other settings of the RDU
remotely through its Web interface or command line interface; the user name and password are
both apc, by default.
To create a bootup file, see your BOOTP server documentation.
Pumped Refrigerant System Operation and Maintenance
45
DHCP. You can use an RFC2131/RFC2132-compliant DHCP server to configure the TCP/IP settings for
the RDU.
This section summarizes the RDU’s communication with a DHCP server. For more detail
about how a DHCP server can configure the network settings for a RDU, see “DHCP
Configuration” in the RDU User’s Guide on the Utility CD.
1. The RDU sends out a DHCP request that uses the following to identify itself:
– A Vendor Class Identifier (APC by default)
– A Client Identifier (by default, the MAC address of the RDU)
– A User Class Identifier (by default, the identification of the application firmware installed on
the RDU)
2. A properly configured DHCP server responds with a DHCP offer that includes all the settings
that the RDU needs for network communication. The DHCP offer also includes the Vendor
Specific Information option (DHCP option 43). By default, the RDU ignores DHCP offers that
do not encapsulate the APC cookie in DHCP option 43 using the following hexadecimal format:
Option 43 = 01 04 31 41 50 43
where:
– the first byte (01) is the code
– the second byte (04) is the length
– the remaining bytes (31 41 50 43) are the APC cookie.
See your DHCP server documentation to add code to the Vendor Specific Information option.
Note: To disable the requirement that a DHCP offer include the APC cookie, clear the check
box Require vendor specific cookie to accept DHCP Address in the Web interface:
Administration > Network>TCP/IP>DHCP. Alternately, at the command line interface, use
this command to disable the DHCP cookie requirement: boot -c disable
Local access to the command line interface. You can use a computer connected to the serial port
on the front of the RDU to access the command line interface.
1. Select a serial port at the local computer, and disable any service that uses that port.
2. Use the provided serial cable (APC part number 940-0299) to connect the selected port to the
serial port on the front panel of the InRow RD.
3. Run a terminal program (such as HyperTerminal) and configure the selected port for 9600 bps, 8
data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control. Save the changes.
4. Press ENTER, repeatedly if necessary, to display the User Name prompt.
5. Use apc for the user name and password.
See “Command line interface” on page 1 to finish the configuration.
Remote access to the command line interface
From any computer on the same network as the RDU, you can use ARP and Ping to assign an IP address
to the RDU, and then use Telnet to access its command line interface and configure the other TCP/IP
settings.
46
Pumped Refrigerant System Operation and Maintenance
Note: After the RDU has its IP address configured, you can use Telnet, without first using
ARP and Ping, to access that RDU.
1. Use the MAC address of the RDU in the ARP command to define the IP address.
Note: Look for the MAC address on the back of the Network Management Card or on
the Quality Assurance slip included in the package (with the replacement Network
Management Card).
For example, to define 156.205.14.141 as the IP address of a RDU with 00 c0 b7 63 9f 67 as its
MAC address, use one of the following commands:
– Windows command format:
arp -s 156.205.14.141 00-c0-b7-63-9f-67
– LINUX command format:
arp -s 156.205.14.141 00:c0:b7:63:9f:67
2. Use Ping with a size of 113 bytes to assign the IP address defined by the ARP command. For the
IP address defined in step 1, use one of the following commands:
– Windows command format:
ping 156.205.14.141 -l 113
– LINUX command format:
ping 156.205.14.141 -s 113
3. Use Telnet to access the RDU at its newly assigned IP address. For example:
telnet 156.205.14.141
4. Use apc for both user name and password.
See “Command line interface” on page 1 to finish the configuration.
Command line interface
After you log on at the command line interface, as described in “Local access to the command line
interface” on page 1 or “Remote access to the command line interface” on page 1, you can manually
configure network settings.
1. Contact your network administrator to obtain the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway
for the RDU.
2. Use these three commands to configure network settings. (Text in italics indicates a variable.)
a. tcpip -i yourIPaddress
b. tcpip -s yourSubnetMask
c. tcpip -g yourDefaultGateway
For each variable, type a numeric value that has the format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.
For example, to set a system IP address of 156.205.14.141, type the following command and
press ENTER:
tcpip -i 156.205.14.141
3. Type exit. The RDU restarts to apply the changes.

How to Recover from a Lost Password
You can use a local computer that connects to the RDU through the serial port to access the command
line interface.
1. Select a serial port at the local computer, and disable any service that uses that port.
2. The APC serial cable (not provided) is used to connect the console port at the RDU and to your
computer. (This cable is available to order from APC.)
3. Run a terminal program (such as HyperTerminal®) and configure the selected port for 9600 bps,
8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.
4. Press ENTER, repeatedly if necessary, to display the User Name prompt. If you are unable to
display the User Name prompt, verify the following:
– The serial port is not in use by another application.
– The terminal settings are correct as specified in step 3.
– The correct cable is being used as specified in step 2.
5. Press the Reset button. The Status LED will flash alternately orange and green. Press the Reset
button a second time immediately while the LED is flashing to reset the user name and password
to their defaults temporarily.
Note: Pressing the Reset button will reboot the controller, causing a temporary loss of
cooling.
6. Press ENTER, repeatedly if necessary, to display the User Name prompt again, then use the
default, apc, for the user name and password. (If you take longer than 30 seconds to log on after
the User Name prompt is redisplayed, you must repeat step 5 and log on again.)
7. At the command line interface, use the following commands to change the User Name and
Password settings, both of which are now apc:
user -an yourAdministratorName
user -ap yourAdministratorPassword
For example, to change the Administrator user name to Admin, type:
user -an Admin
8. Type quit or exit to log off, reconnect any serial cable you disconnected, and restart any
service you disabled.

Leak Detector
Calibration
The leak detection feature must be calibrated before it can be used.
Note: In order for calibration to successfully complete, the RDU and CMs must be on with a
minimum system load of 5 kW.
Path: Main > RDU > Status > Measurements
From the display interface, or BMS, start calibration from the above path.
Choose Calibrating to initiate the feature.
When Calibration is complete, the leak detector will automatically start leak monitoring.
Leak monitoring will continue as long as the RDU is on, the configuration of the system has not
changed, and the total system load exceeds 3 kW.
Note: Leak detection is Suspended and a Warning alarm will come on when:
1. Refrigerant is added to the system
2. CMs are added or removed from the system

Corrective Action
• Verify that the display interface cable is connected properly.
• Confirm that power, if required, is being supplied to the external
equipment.
• If the RDU is providing power to the external equipment, verify that the
external equipment is <50 mA.
• Test the external equipment by bypassing the customer output contact.
• Verify that there is a drive voltage entering the input of the RDU. You
may use the +12 V or +24 V. You must also use the ground.
• Confirm that the RDU is connected to the BMS port and not to the
Control port.
• Make sure that the wire polarity is correct. Using a DC voltmeter, test the
signal with no transmissions in progress. Expect the voltage at pin 2 to
be greater than at pin 1 by at least 200 mV. Measure the RDU with the
cable disconnected, and then measure it again with the cable connected.
If the signal is less than 200 mV, the RDU may be reverse-wired.
• Make sure every CM has either two sets of wires on the connector or one
set of wires and a terminating resistor of 100 to 120 ohms.
• Verify that the first and last cooling modules have one cable and a
terminator.
• Verify that every other cooling module has two cables.
• Confirm that the A-Link cables are connected to the A-Link ports and
that a network cable is connected to the network port.
• Verify that the number of cooling modules in the cooling group matches
the group number setting.
• Verify that there is a drive voltage entering the input of the cooling unit.
You may use the available +12 V or +24 V. You must also use the
ground.
• Confirm that the RDU is connected to the BMS port and not to the
Control port.
• Make sure that the wire polarity is correct. Using a DC voltmeter, test the
signal with no transmissions in progress. Expect the voltage at pin 2 to
be greater than at pin 1 by at least 200 mV. Measure the RDU with the
cable disconnected, and then measure it again with the cable connected.

• Verify that every other cooling module has two cables.
• Confirm that the A-Link cables are connected to the A-Link ports and
that a network cable is connected to the network port.
• Verify that the number of CMs in the cooling group matches the group
number setting.
• Either the upper or lower supply air temperature sensor has a fault.
Verify that both supply air temperature sensors are installed and working
properly.
