InRow RC Operation and Maintenance Manual  
 
   
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.  
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. 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.  
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.  
InRow RC Operation and Maintenance Manual  
17  
 
     
NOTE: If the Supply Air setpoint is greater than the Cool setpoint, the cooling unit triggers an alarm  
and resets the Supply Air setpoint to equal the Cool setpoint.  
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.  
PID settings  
Path: Main > Set Group PIDs  
The Proportional plus Integral plus Derivative (PID) loop controls the output of the fans.  
NOTE: All changes to settings must be performed by qualified personnel.  
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.  
18  
InRow RC Operation and Maintenance Manual  
 
 
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, P  
U.  
6. Note the value of the proportional constant. This is the Ultimate Gain, G  
U.  
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  
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  
®
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  
1. Insert the Utility CD into a computer on your network.  
2. If autorun is enabled, the user interface of the CD starts when you insert the CD. If autorun is not  
enabled, open the file contents.htm on the CD.  
3. Select the Device IP Configuration Wizard from the main menu.  
30  
InRow RC Operation and Maintenance Manual  
 
         
4. When the Wizard discovers the unconfigured Network Management Card, follow the on-screen  
instructions.  
NOTE: If you leave the Start a Web browser when finished option enabled, you can use Schneider  
Electric for both the user name and password to access the Network Management Card through your  
browser.  
.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.  
InRow RC Operation and Maintenance Manual  
31  
 
 
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.  
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 Utility CD or 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 a 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:  
32  
InRow RC Operation and Maintenance Manual  
 
 
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  
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 (990-1524), 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.  
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:  
InRow RC Operation and Maintenance Manual  
33  
 
   
– 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.  
Control console  
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).

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 (IE) 5.5 and higher (on Windows operating systems only), Mozilla-based  
®
®
browsers that support Firefox 1.x (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 Utility CD or from the Schneider Electric Web site,  
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  
InRow RC Operation and Maintenance Manual  
35  
 
       
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.

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.
