APC by Schneider Electric 0J-0P2670AB 10KW Modular Bundle for ACRD Row Cooling
Overview
The APC by Schneider Electric 0J-0P2670AB is a 10KW modular component set engineered specifically for the ACRD100 and ACRD200 series row-based precision cooling units. Rather than sourcing individual components separately, this bundle delivers the main board (MB), Network Management Card (NMC), Revision 2 controller, and display panel (DP) as a matched, factory-configured set — reducing the risk of firmware mismatches or compatibility gaps during commissioning. If you're upgrading an existing ACRD1XX or ACRD2XX deployment or replacing failed electronics in a running data center row, the 0J-0P2670AB (often searched as 0J 0P2670AB) provides the complete control stack in a single SKU.
Key Features
- 10KW Platform Match: Sized for the 10KW ACRD thermal envelope — installing mismatched control boards on 10KW units is a common commissioning error; this set eliminates that ambiguity by being rated and labeled for the correct capacity tier.
- ACRD1XX/2XX Compatibility: Explicitly validated for the ACRD100 and ACRD200 row-cooling families. If your site runs a mixed ACRD fleet, confirm the generation designation on each unit before ordering — this set is not a universal fit across all ACRD variants.
- Network Management Card (NMC) Included: The NMC enables remote monitoring and control via APC's EcoStruxure or legacy InfraStruXure Manager platforms. Without the NMC, ACRD units run in standalone mode with no network visibility — a real gap in environments where cooling events need to trigger alerts or feed into a DCIM dashboard.
- Revision 2 (R2) Controller: The R2 designation indicates the current-generation control firmware baseline for this ACRD family. Using a prior-revision board in an R2-qualified unit can create incompatibilities with newer sensor profiles and management interfaces.
- Display Panel (DP) Included: Local status readout is part of the bundle, so technicians can verify operating state at the unit without requiring a network connection — important during initial commissioning or post-maintenance verification in noisy data center environments.
- Matched Factory Set: Component sets sourced as a bundle carry consistent firmware revisions across MB, NMC, and controller — avoiding the mixed-version pitfalls that arise when pulling components from separate stock.
Integration and Compatibility
The 0J-0P2670AB integrates with APC's EcoStruxure IT and InfraStruXure Manager environments via the included NMC R2. SNMP and web-based management interfaces on the NMC allow the ACRD unit to surface temperature, airflow, and fault data to third-party DCIM tools that support standard APC MIBs. Verify your management platform's NMC R2 driver support before deploying in a fully automated cooling-response workflow.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which cooling units is the 0J-0P2670AB compatible with?
A: The 0J-0P2670AB is designed for the APC ACRD100 and ACRD200 series (ACRD1XX/ACRD2XX) row-based precision cooling units at the 10KW capacity tier.
Q: What components are included in this set?
A: The bundle includes the main board (MB), Network Management Card (NMC), Revision 2 (R2) controller, and display panel (DP) as a matched set.
Q: Can the NMC in this set integrate with third-party DCIM platforms?
A: The NMC R2 supports SNMP and web interfaces compatible with APC's EcoStruxure IT platform. Third-party DCIM compatibility depends on the platform's support for APC NMC MIBs — verify with your DCIM vendor before deployment.
Q: Is the 0J-0P2670AB a rack-mountable component?
A: Yes, this modular set is designed for rack-mountable installation within the ACRD1XX/2XX row cooling unit chassis.
Q: Can this set be used on ACRD units outside the 10KW range?
A: No — the 0J-0P2670AB is rated and configured for the 10KW ACRD platform. Using it on different capacity tiers risks control board mismatches and is not supported.
The 0J-0P2670AB is one of those SKUs that looks simple on the surface — a parts bundle — but gets complicated fast if you don't match it precisely to your ACRD generation. The R2 controller designation is the key detail: ACRD units upgraded to R2 firmware baselines will reject or misreport with pre-R2 boards, and swapping in this matched set is the clean path to restoring full NMC-managed visibility on a 10KW row cooling unit.
Technical Highlights:
- NMC R2 Inclusion: Network management is not an add-on here — it ships in the set, meaning you get full SNMP/web remote monitoring capability from day one without a separate NMC procurement cycle.
- 10KW Rating: The capacity match is explicit; this is not a universal board. Deploying on a non-10KW ACRD unit is unsupported and can produce incorrect load reporting at the controller level.
- Display Panel (DP): Local visibility during commissioning is underrated — the included DP means a technician can confirm operational state at the unit without needing network access established first, which matters during initial rack buildout.
Deployment Considerations:
- Before ordering, verify the generation suffix on your ACRD units — ACRD1XX and ACRD2XX are the validated targets; other ACRD variants are not covered by this set.
- The NMC R2 requires configuration (IP assignment, SNMP community strings, EcoStruxure pairing) before it will surface data to a DCIM platform — plan for a commissioning step beyond physical installation.
Best fit: data center rows running APC ACRD100 or ACRD200 cooling at the 10KW tier where the original control electronics need replacement or the site is standardizing on NMC-managed cooling visibility across all row units.
