How to install APC NetShelter Standard Power Cord

Power down and unplug any devices that will be connected to the rack PDU through the power cord to avoid any electrical surges during installation.

Identify the appropriate ends of the locking C19/C20 cord for the equipment and power source. Confirm that the device side accepts a C19 locking connector and that the rack PDU or power outlet side accepts a C20 locking connection. Verify that both ends are clean, undamaged, and ready for a secure connection.

Connect one end of the power cord to the device’s C19 inlet (locking) and the other end to the rack PDU or appropriate power outlet (C20 locking). Ensure a secure, fully seated connection with the locking mechanism engaged. You may hear a subtle click when the latch engages, indicating a secure attachment.

Route the cord carefully to maintain clear airflow and prevent interference with fans, vents, or other cables. Use proper cable management practices to minimize tangling, avoid placing strain on connectors, and prevent crushing or bending that could degrade performance over time.

Power on the connected devices and the rack PDU, then verify proper operation. Check for signs of heat or stress along the cord and connectors, ensure all equipment powers up normally, and adjust cable routing as needed to sustain optimal airflow and reliable operation.
