InRow RD 100-Series and InRow RD 200-Series User’s Guide1

Introduction

Product Description

Features

The APC by Schneider Electric InRow RD 100-series and InRow RD 200-series cooling units are

modular cooling units that require only one-half the width of a standard enclosure and can be placed in a

data center row. The InRow RD provides full management capabilities over a network using Telnet,

Secure SHell (SSH), HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP), HTTP over Secure Sockets Layer (HTTPS),

File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Secure CoPy (SCP), Modbus, and Simple Network Management Protocol

(SNMP) versions 1 and 3. The InRow RD also provides the following features:

• Provides temperature monitoring and adapts its cooling output to rectify fluctuations in

temperature

• Supports group control, which prevents demand-fighting and provides redundancy

• Enables you to shut down the cooling unit remotely over the network

• Provides output contact monitoring

• Provides the ability to export a user configuration (.ini) file from a configured card to one or more

unconfigured cards

• Supports using a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) or server to provide the network

(TCP/IP) values for the InRow RD

• Supports using the APC Remote Monitoring Service (RMS)

• Provides data and event logs

• Enables you to configure notification through event logging (by the InRow RD and Syslog),

e-mail, and SNMP traps. You can configure notification for single events or groups of events,

based on the severity level or category of events

• Provides a selection of security protocols for authentication and encryption

Initial setup

You must define three TCP/IP settings for the InRow RD before it can operate on the network:

• IP address of the InRow RD

• Subnet mask

• IP address of the default gateway

Caution: Do not use the loopback address (127.0.0.1) as the default gateway. Doing so

disables the card. You must then log on using a serial connection and reset TCP/IP settings to

their defaults.

To configure the TCP/IP settings, see the InRow RD Installation Manual, available on the

APC InRow RD Utility CD and in printed form.

For detailed information on how to use a DHCP server to configure the TCP/IP settings at the

InRow RD, see “TCP/IP and Communication Settings” on page 29.
