NOTE: There are three alarms that will cause the cooling unit to enter idle mode:

• Water Detection Fault (when Idle On Leak is set to Yes )

• Condensate Pan Full

• Cooling Failure (when Idle On Fail is set to Yes )

See “Alarm messages and suggested actions” on page 27 for more information on alarms.

Bypass Vlve (Bypass Valve): Select the setting that matches the physical status of the bypass valve (open or closed).

Fluid Cal: Causes the input valve to stay fully open to facilitate adjusting water flow through multiple cooling units.

Power Src: Select Single for one power source or select Dual for two power sources.


Contacts

View the state of input and output contacts

Path: Main > Configure Unit > Discrete I/O

Each cooling unit supports a user-defined input contact and a user-defined output contact. Each contact monitors a sensor and responds to changes in the state of the sensor (open or closed).

Input State: Indicates the actual state of the input contact (open or closed). A cooling unit is On when the state is normal and in Standby when the state is not normal.

Output State: Indicates the actual state of the output contact (open or closed). An alarm will cause the output contact to change from the normal state.

Edit the normal state of input and output contacts

Path: Main > Configure Unit > Discrete I/O > Normal State

You can set input contacts to cause alarm conditions based on a user-defined normal state. Output contacts can map internal alarms and events to outside devices.

Input Norm: Set the normal state of the contact (open or closed). The cooling unit changes its operating mode to Standby when the actual state differs from the normal state.

Output Norm: Set the normal state of the contact (open or closed). If the state of an alarm or event mapped to this contact changes from the normal state, the contact also changes state.

Output Src: Define the type of output alarm, either Any Alrm or Critical , that causes the output to change from its normal state.


Cooling Group Configuration

Use the configuration settings to add cooling units to the group and to define group operation. The system automatically assigns the state of Backup to units in the group. A unit whose Role Override setting is set to ON will automatically be set as a Primary cooling unit. A unit in the Standby or Failed state is not considered a potential backup unit. The system periodically reviews the state of the units to maintain the proper number of

ON and Backup units. If no units are available to assign to the Backup role, then the No Backup Units Available alarm is initiated.


Configure the cooling group

Path: Main > Configure Group

The Configure Group menu contains settings that identify the number of cooling units installed in this cooling group and the physical arrangement of those cooling units.

Num Units: Enter the number of cooling units in this cooling group. Up to 12 cooling units can be joined together to work as a single cooling group.

Type: Set the rack deployment strategy for the cooling units of this cooling group.

• In-Row : Air flow is not ducted. Hot aisle air is cooled, then shared by all loads in the row.

• RACS : (Rack Air Containment System) Air flow in the enclosure is controlled by a ducting system fitted to the enclosure.

• HACS : (Hot Aisle Containment System) Air flow in the room is controlled by enclosing the hot air aisle.

The loads share an enclosed common hot aisle.

• CACS : (Cold Aisle Containment System) Air flow in the room is controlled by enclosing the cold air aisle.

The loads share an enclosed common cold aisle.

%Glycol: The percentage of glycol used by the cooling group to cool the environment. Only qualified service personnel should make changes to this setting.

Max Fan Spd: The maximum fan speed of the group. The default is 100% and is adjustable to 60%.

Active Flow Control Lamp Test: When enabled, the Active Flow Controller(s) LEDs will cycle through a red, green, and blue illumination pattern (not on unit).

Number of Active Flow Controllers: Set the number of AFC units in the group (0 to 5).

Altitude: Set the altitude (in feet or meters) of the unit above sea level. This number is used to estimate the density of air and is a factor in pressure measurement.


Identify the cooling unit

Path: Main > Set Identification

The Set Identification menu contains settings that identify the name and location of the cooling unit.

Unit Id: Assign a unique identification number to this cooling unit. Range: 1 through 12.

Name: Assign a Name, up to 40 alpha-numeric characters, to the cooling unit.

You must use Telnet, the Control console, or the Web to access all 40 characters. See “Web interface” on page 34 for more information.

Configure Modbus

Path: Main > Configure Modbus

Use the Configure Modbus menu to set up communications between the cooling unit and the building management system.

Modbus: Enable or disable Modbus communication protocol.

Target Id: Each Modbus device must have a unique target identification number. Enter a unique number for this cooling unit.

Baud Rate: Set either 9600 bps or 19200 bps.

Fixed settings: 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit. These settings cannot be modified.


Control the Environment

The primary function of the cooling unit is to cool air from the hot aisle and deliver it to the cold aisle at the temperature setpoint. The control strategies employed by the cooling unit depend upon the deployment strategy of the cooling group.

In an in-row environment, the cooling unit supplies constant-temperature supply air to the common cold aisle.

The fan speed is modulated to ensure that the desired volume of air reaches the IT equipment. The fan speed is determined by the difference between the cooling setpoint and the maximum rack air inlet temperature.

In a HACS or RACS environment, the cooling unit neutralizes the heat accumulated in the common hot aisle and expels it back into the surrounding environmental space while maintaining the desired temperature in the cold aisle.

In a CACS environment, the cooling unit supplies constant temperature supply air to the enclosed cold aisle.

The fan speed is modulated to ensure that the required volume of air reaches the IT equipment.

How the Cool mode works

Cool: Cooling control is varied based on configuration:

• InRow: The equipment maintains the supply air temperature setpoint by regulating the flow of chilled water through the cooling coil. The evaporator fan speed is controlled by comparing the rack inlet temperature to the cooling setpoint. As the rack temperature increases compared to the cooling setpoint, the fans increase output to maintain the setpoint. As rack temperature decreases compared to the cooling setpoint, the fans decrease output to maintain the setpoint.

• RACS/HACS: The supply air setpoint is maintained the same way as with the InRow configuration. When

Active Flow Controller (AFC) devices are present, the controller utilizes differential pressure data supplied by the AFC(s) to supply the correct amount of airflow to the IT load. When AFC devices are not present the fan speed is controlled by the fan speed preference setting. The fan speed can be selected based on the temperature differential across the cooling unit. As actual supply and return temperatures deviate from the fan speed preference setting, the fan speed increases to bring the temperature difference back down to the setpoint or decreases fan output to increase the unit temperature differential.

• CACS: The equipment maintains the supply air temperature set point by regulating the flow of chilled water through the cooling coil. When AFC devices are present, the controller utilizes differential pressure data supplied by the AFC(s) to supply the correct amount of airflow to the IT load. When AFC devices are not present the evaporator fan speed is controlled by comparing the rack inlet temperature to the cooling set point. As the rack temperature increases compared to the cooling set point the fans increase output to maintain the set point. As rack temperature decreases compared to the cooling set point the fans decrease output to maintain the set point.

Fluid Calibration Mode: Runs the cooling unit with the valve fully open and at minimum fan speed. This special mode is typically used to balance the fluid flow in multiple units or in one unit. This mode generates a critical alarm. The cooling unit will take some time to return to normal operation once the Fluid Calibration Mode is turned off.

See Supply Air and Return Air on page 24 for more information.


Setpoints

Path: Main > Set Group Setpoints

A setpoint is the target value that a cooling group tries to maintain in the rack. The default setpoints are appropriate for most cooling applications.

The setpoints for each mode must be within the following ranges:

• Cool : 18.0 – 25.0 °C (64.4 – 90.0°F)

• Supply Air : 17.0 – 23.0 °C (59.0–86.4°F)

NOTE: The Supply Air setting is defined when the cooling group is commissioned. This task is performed by authorized personnel only.

• Fan Spd: Set the fan speed preference that will give you the desired temperature difference (DT). Each fan speed provides an approximate DT between the supply air from the Rack PDU and the air returned from the rack.

–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)

NOTE: The cooling group will automatically override this fan speed setting and adjust the fan speed to provide optimum cooling for the environment as needed.

Active Flow Control Status: The status of the Active Flow Control indicates whether the correct amount of airflow is being provided to the load. This status is not configurable.

NOTE: AFC compatibility may require upgrading the cooling unit controller.

Active Flow Control Bias: This setting is used to change the bias of the controller by adjusting the contained aisle pressure threshold. Zero is the default setting. Only qualified service personnel can make changes to these settings.

Fan Cntrl: This selection allows air flow to be controlled automatically by the cooling unit or manually by user-selected fan speed preference.

• Auto : Air flow is automatically controlled by the cooling unit.

• Manual : The air flow is fixed to the value of the Fan Speed Preference property. See “Fan Spd: Set the fan speed preference that will give you the desired temperature difference (DT). Each fan speed provides an approximate DT between the supply air from the Rack PDU and the air returned from the rack.” on page 17 for more information.

PID settings

Path: Main > Set Group PIDs

The Proportional plus Integral plus Derivative (PID) loop controls the output of the fans.


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 over time.


Tune the PID loop

Tune the PID loop to optimize the performance of the cooling group.

NOTE: This procedure is to be performed by Schneider Electric authorized personnel only. The PID loop must be tuned after the equipment in the room is installed and running. The 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.

Control Method Proportional Integral Derivative

Network Management Card

Quick Configuration

The cooling unit is shipped with a Network Management Card that enables the cooling unit to be managed over a network. Configure the Network Management Card to control this cooling unit through a network.

Overview

You must configure the following TCP/IP settings before the Network Management Card can operate on a network:

• IP address of the Network Management Card

• Subnet mask

• Default gateway

NOTE: Never use the loopback address (127.0.0.1) as the default gateway for the Network Management Card.

Doing so will disable the card and will require you to reset TCP/IP settings to their defaults using a local serial login.

NOTE: If a default gateway is unavailable, use the IP address of a computer that is located on the same subnet as the Network Management Card and that is usually running. The Network Management Card uses the default gateway to test the network when traffic is very light.

See “Watchdog Features” in the “Introduction” of the User 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 Network Management Card:

• Schneider Electric Device IP Configuration Wizard (See “Schneider Electric Device IP Configuration

Wizard” on this page.)

• BootP or DHCP server (See “BootP & DHCP configuration” on page 31.)

• Local computer (see “Local access to the control console” on page 32.)

• Networked computer (See “Remote access to the control console” on page 32.)

Schneider Electric Device IP Configuration Wizard

You can use the Schneider Electric Device IP Configuration Wizard at a computer running Microsoft ®

Windows ® 2000, Windows ® Server 2003, or Windows ® XP to configure a Network Management Card.

NOTE: Most software firewalls must be temporarily disabled for the Wizard to discover unconfigured Network

Management Cards.

To configure one or more Network Management Cards from a user configuration file, see the User

Guide available on the Schneider Electric Web site: www.schneider-electric.com

.

30

1. Download the Device IP Configuration Wizard from the Schneider Electric Web site: www.schneiderelectric.com

.

2. Install and run the Device IP Configuration Wizard.

3. Follow the on-screen instructions.

NOTE: If you leave the option Start a Web browser when finished enabled, you can use 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 Network Management Cards to one or more unconfigured Network Management Cards.

BootP & 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 Network Management Cards. The Network Management Card 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.

If neither of these servers is available, see “Local access to the control console” on page 32, or

“Remote access to the control console” on page 32 to configure the needed TCP/IP settings.

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 User Guide , available from the Schneider Electric Web site, www.schneider-electric.com

.

BootP: For the Network Management Card to use a BootP server to configure its TCP/IP settings, it must find a properly configured RFC951-compliant BootP server.

1. In the BootPTAB file of the BootP server, enter the MAC address of the Network Management Card, and the IP addresses of the subnet mask, and default gateway, and an optional bootup file name. Look for the MAC address on the display interface ( Path: Main > Configure Network ) or on the label on the back of the Network Management Card.

2. When the Network Management Card reboots, the BootP server provides it with the TCP/IP settings.

– If you specified a bootup file name, the Network Management Card attempts to transfer that file from the BootP server using TFTP or FTP. The Network Management Card 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 Network

Management Card remotely through its Web interface or control console; user name and password are both Schneider Electric , by default.

See your BootP server documentation to create a bootup file.

DHCP: You can use an RFC2131/RFC2132-compliant DHCP server to configure the TCP/IP settings for the

Network Management Card.

This section summarizes communication between the Network Management Card and a DHCP server. For more details about how a DHCP server can configure the network settings for a Network

Management Card, see “DHCP Configuration” in the User Guide .

1. A Network Management Card 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 value of the Network Management Card)

– A User Class Identifier (by default, the identification of the application firmware of the Network

Management Card)

2. A properly configured DHCP server responds with a DHCP offer that includes all of the settings that the

Network Management Card needs for network communication. The DHCP offer also includes the

Vendor Specific Information option (DHCP option 43). By default, the Network Management Card will ignore DHCP offers that do not encapsulate the Schneider Electric cookie in the Vendor Specific

Information option 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 Schneider Electric cookie

See your DHCP server documentation to add code to the Vendor Specific Information option.

To change the control console DHCP Cookie Is setting, use the Advanced option in the

TCP/IP menu. See “Remote access to the control console” on page 32.

To disable the requirement that a DHCP offer include the Schneider Electric cookie, use the DHCP Cookie Is setting in the control console:

Network > TCP/IP > Boot Mode > DHCP only > Advanced > DHCP Cookie Is .

Local access to the control console

You can use a computer connected to the serial port on the main board holding the Network Management Card to access the control console.

1. Select a serial port at the local computer, and disable any service that uses that port.

2. Use the configuration cable to connect the selected port to the serial port on the main board holding the

Network Management Card. Use either 940-0103, the 6-ft (1.8-m) cable that came with your UPS, or

AP9804 (BroadBand Current Sensor Harness Assembly), the 15-ft (4.6-m) cable available from

Schneider Electric.

3. Run a terminal program (such as HyperTerminal) and configure the selected port for 9600 or 19200 bps,

8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control. Save the changes.

4. Press ENTER to display the User Name prompt.

5. Use apc for the user name and password.

See “Control console” on page 33 to finish the configuration.

Remote access to the control console

From any computer on the same subnet as the Network Management Card, you can use ARP and Ping to assign an IP address to a Network Management Card, and then use Telnet to access the control console of that

Network Management Card and configure the needed TCP/IP settings.

NOTE: After the IP address of the Network Management Card is configured, you can use Telnet without first using ARP and Ping to access that Network Management Card.

1. Use the MAC address for the Network Management Card in the ARP command to define the IP address. For example, to define an IP address of 156.205.14.141 for a Network Management Card that has a MAC address of 00 c0 b7 63 9f 67, 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

NOTE: The MAC address is available on the display interface at:

Path: Main > Configure Network or look at the label on the back of the Network Management

Card for the MAC address.


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 Ping 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 Network Management Card at its newly assigned IP address. For example: telnet 156.205.14.141

4. Use apc for both user name and password.

See “Control console” on page 33 to finish the configuration.

Control console

After you log on at the control console, as described in“Local access to the control console” on page 32 or

“Remote access to the control console” on page 32:

1. Choose Network from the Control Console menu.

2. Choose TCP/IP from the Network menu.

3. If you are not using a BootP or DHCP server to configure the TCP/IP settings, select the Boot Mode menu and then select Manual boot mode .

4. Set the System IP , Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway address values. (Changes will take effect when you log out.)

5. Press ENTER to return to the TCP/IP menu.

6. Press CTRL+C to exit to the Control Console menu.

7. Log out (option 4 in the Control Console menu).

NOTE:

If you disconnected a cable from the local computer during the procedure described in “Local access to the control console” on page 32, reconnect that cable and restart the associated service.


Access a Configured Network Management Card

Overview

After the Network Management Card is running on your network, you can access the configured Network

Management Card through the following interfaces:

• Web interface (HTTP or HTTPS protocol)

• Telnet or Secure SHell (SSH)

• SNMP

• FTP or Secure CoPy (SCP) to upgrade firmware

• Modbus

For more information on the interfaces, see the User Guide .

Web interface

Use Microsoft ® Internet Explorer browsers that support Firefox ® 1.

® x

(IE) 5.5 and higher (on Windows ® operating systems only), Mozilla-based

(on all operating systems), or Netscape ® 7.

x and higher (on all operating systems) to access the Web interface of the cooling unit. Other commonly available browsers also may work but have not been fully tested by Schneider Electric.

You can use either of the following protocols when you use the Web interface:

• The HTTP protocol (enabled by default), which provides authentication by user name and password but no encryption.

• The HTTPS protocol, which provides extra security through Secure Sockets Layer (SSL); encrypts user names, passwords, and data being transmitted; and authenticates the Network Management Card by means of digital certificates.

To access the Web interface and configure the security of your device on the network:

1. Address the Network Management Card by its IP address or DNS name (if configured).

2. Enter the user name and password (by default, apc and apc for an Administrator).

3. To enable or disable the HTTP or HTTPS protocols, use the Network menu on the Administration tab, and select the access option under the Web heading on the left navigation menu.

For more information on selecting and configuring network security, see the Security

Handbook , available on the Schneider Electric Web site, www.schneider-electric.com

.

Telnet and SSH

You can access the control console through Telnet or Secure SHell (SSH), depending on which is enabled.

Select the Administration tab, the Network option on the top menu bar, and then the access option under

Console on the left navigation menu. By default, Telnet is enabled. Enabling SSH automatically disables

Telnet.

Telnet for basic access: Telnet provides the basic security of authentication by user name and password, but not the high-security benefits of encryption. To use Telnet to access the control console of the Network

Management Card:

1. At a command prompt, use the following command line, and press ENTER: telnet address


As address , use the IP address of the Network Management Card or DNS name (if configured).

2. Enter the user name and password (by default, apc and apc for an Administrator, or device and apc for a Device User).

SSH for high-security access: If you use the high security of SSL for the Web interface, use Secure SHell

(SSH) for access to the control console. SSH encrypts user names, passwords, and transmitted data.

The interface, user accounts, and user access rights are the same whether you access the control console through SSH or Telnet, but to use SSH, you must first configure SSH and have an SSH client program installed on your computer.

See the User Guide for more information on configuring and using SSH.

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

SNMPv1 only: After you add the PowerNet ® MIB to a standard SNMP MIB browser, you can use that browser to access the Network Management Card. All user names, passwords, and community names for SNMP are transferred over the network as plain text. The default read community name is public ; the default read/write community name is private.

SNMPv3 only: For SNMP GETs, SETs, and trap receivers, SNMPv3 uses a system of user profiles to identify users. An SNMPv3 user must have a user profile assigned in the MIB software program to perform GETs and

SETs, browse the MIB, and receive traps. The default settings are no authentication and no privacy .

NOTE: To use SNMPv3, you must have a MIB program that supports SNMPv3.

NOTE: The Network Management Card supports only MD5 authentication and DES encryption.

SNMPv1 and SNMPv3: To use StruxureWare Data Center Expert to manage the Network Management Card, you must have SNMPv1 enabled in the unit interface. Read access allows InfraStruXure devices to receive traps. Write access is required while you set the InfraStruXure device as a trap receiver.

To enable or disable SNMP access, you must be an Administrator. Select the Administration tab, select the

Network menu on the top menu bar, and use the access option under SNMPv1 or SNMPv3 on the left navigation menu.

FTP/SCP

You can use FTP (enabled by default) or Secure CoPy (SCP) to transfer downloaded firmware to the Network

Management Card, or to access a copy of the event or data logs of the cooling unit. SCP provides the higher security of encrypted data transmission and is enabled automatically when you enable SSH.

To use StruxureWare Data Center Expert to manage the Network Management Card, you must have the FTP

Server enabled in the Network Management Card. To enable or disable FTP Server access, you must be an

Administrator. On the Administration tab, select the Network menu on the top menu bar, and use the FTP server option on the left navigation menu.

In the User Guide , see the following sections:

• To transfer firmware, see “File Transfers.”

• To retrieve a copy of the event or data log, see “Use FTP or SCP to retrieve log files.”


Modbus

Modbus lets you view the Network Management Card through the interface of your building management system. The Modbus interface supports 2-wire RS-485, plus ground.

NOTE: Modbus can be configured to run at either 9600 or 19200 bps. It is already configured for 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit, which are not changeable.

To access the Modbus register map, go to the Schneider Electric Web site, www.schneiderelectric.com

.


Recover From a Lost Password

You can use a local computer (a computer that connects to the Network Management Card through the serial port) to access the control console.

1. Select a serial port at the local computer, and disable any service that uses that port.

2. Connect the provided RS-232 configuration cable to the selected port on the computer and to the RS-

232 console port at the Network Management Card.

3. Run a terminal program (such as HyperTerminal) on your computer 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 switch. 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.

6. Press ENTER as many times as necessary to redisplay the User Name prompt, 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. From the Control Console menu, select System , then User Manager .

8. Select Administrator , and change the User Name and Password settings, both of which are now defined as apc .

9. Press Ctrl+C, log off, reconnect any serial cable you disconnected, and restart any service you disabled.
