1. Introduction  
The MasterSwitchis a network-manageable, intelligent power  
distribution unit (PDU) designed to provide control of power for up to  
eight 120-VAC electrical devices.  
The MasterSwitchallows you to:  
• Individually control each of eight outlets using a web browser, an SNMP  
browser or a terminal program.  
• Remotely and individually reboot hung servers.  
• Remove power to non-essential loads.  
• Sequentially apply power to equipment plugged into the MasterSwitch.  
As shown in Figure 1, the MasterSwitch:  
• Has a 15-foot, attached input-line cord.  
• Has eight 120-VAC, 15-Amp power receptacles (4 x NEMA 5-15).  
• Has a 15-Amp circuit breaker.

As shown in Figure 2, the MasterSwitchalso features:  
• A 9-pin configuration port for connecting the MasterSwitchto a terminal (or  
terminal emulator) during the setup procedures (Section 4). This connection is  
made using the 9-pin cable (APC PN 940-0103) that comes with the  
MasterSwitch.  
• An 8-pin RJ45 jack for connecting the MasterSwitchto a 10Base-T Local  
Area Network (LAN).  
• Two LEDs (Link and Status) for monitoring the network connection.  
• Eight LEDs (one for each receptacle) to report power on (lit) or off (not lit)  
conditions of the MasterSwitchpower outlets.  
• A reset button that reinitializes the MasterSwitchwithout affecting its outlet  
power (warm reboot).

4. Installation  
The MasterSwitch, which connects to a 10Base-T Local Area  
Network (LAN) through the RJ45 jack on the front of the unit, can be  
used as a freestanding desktop unit or mounted in a NetShelter™  
cabinet (or other 19” NEMA rack).  
Desktop Installation  
The MasterSwitchis equipped with rubber feet for desktop use and  
can be located wherever space permits:  
1. Place the MasterSwitchin its permanent location. Make sure that this location  
is within 15 feet (4.6 meters) of a single-phase, 120-VAC, 15-Amp outlet, and  
that the back of the unit (receptacle side) will be readily accessible.  
2. Plug the male end of your network interface cable (not supplied with the  
MasterSwitch) into the RJ45 jack on the front of the MasterSwitch.  
3. Plug the MasterSwitchpower cord into the single-phase, 120-VAC, 15-Amp  
outlet.  
4. Refer to Section 4 for information on setting up the MasterSwitch.

Rack Mount Installation  
To mount the MasterSwitchin a NetShelter(or other 19-inch  
NEMA rack):  
1. Peel the rubber feet from the bottom of the MasterSwitch.  
2. Refer to Figure 3 and use a #2 Phillips-head screwdriver, and two of the  
supplied screws, to attach each mounting bracket to the MasterSwitch.  
NOTE: The mounting brackets can be attached at various positions along the  
side of the chassis. Choose a position that will not cause the mounted  
MasterSwitch, or attached cables, to interfere with closing the  
cabinet door, or to otherwise protrude from the cabinet. If more than  
two mounting holes are aligned, choose the pair that are farthest apart.  
Figure 3: Attaching Mounting Brackets  
3. Refer to Figure 4 and use 4 cage nuts and machine screws (not supplied with  
the MasterSwitch) to mount the MasterSwitchinto the NetSheltercabinet.  
If the MasterSwitchis being installed in a cabinet other than a NetShelter,  
use the hardware that is appropriate for the cabinet.  
4. Plug the male end of your network interface cable (not supplied with the  
MasterSwitch) into the RJ45 jack on the front of the MasterSwitch.  
5. Plug the MasterSwitchpower cord into a single-phase 120-VAC, 15-Amp  
outlet.

5. Status Indicators  
The MasterSwitchhas eight receptacle status LEDs located on the  
front panel. When a status LED is on, it indicates the related recep-  
tacle has power; When a status LED is off, its receptacle does not  
have power.  
The MasterSwitchalso has two network connection status LEDs,  
also located on the front panel, that indicate the following states:

6. Initial Setup  
Before the MasterSwitchcan operate over the network it needs to  
have certain address values defined. These values can be set (config-  
ured) by a BOOTP server (the MasterSwitchcomes with BOOTP  
enabled) or by using a terminal (or terminal emulator) connected to  
the 9-pin configuration port on the front panel of the MasterSwitch.  
NOTE: Refer to the MasterSwitch- Users Guide for information on the initial  
configuration of the MasterSwitch. A copy of this guide, in portable data  
format is provided on the diskette that came with the MasterSwitch.  
In addition, if you want to use SNMP to configure and control the  
MasterSwitch, you will need to load and compile APC’s Master-  
Switch-MIB at any network management station (NMS) you will use  
for SNMP control of the MasterSwitch.  
NOTE: The MasterSwitch-MIB is provided on the diskette that came with the  
MasterSwitch. See the documentation for the NMS you want to use this  
MIB for instructions on loading and compiling MIBs.

EXCEPT AS PROVIDED HEREIN, AMERICAN POWER CONVERSION MAKES  
NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF  
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Some  
states do not permit limitation or exclusion of implied warranties; therefore, the aforesaid  
limitation(s) or exclusion(s) may not apply to the purchaser.  
EXCEPT AS PROVIDED ABOVE, IN NO EVENT WILL APC BE LIABLE FOR  
DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAM-  
AGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF THIS PRODUCT, EVEN IF ADVISED OF

Life Support Policy  
As a general policy, American Power Conversion (APC) does not recommend the use of  
any of its products in life support applications where failure or malfunction of the APC  
product can be reasonably expected to cause failure of the life support device or to  
significantly affect its safety or effectiveness. APC does not recommend the use of any  
of its products in direct patient care. APC will not knowingly sell its products for use in  
such applications unless it receives in writing assurances satisfactory to APC that (a) the  
risks of injury or damage have been minimized, (b) the customer assumes all such risks,  
and (c) the liability of American Power Conversion is adequately protected under the
