Vertiv VP5N31A3 Concise Descriptor

Overview

The Vertiv VP5N31A3 is a switched rack power distribution unit (PDU) designed for intelligent power management in data center and edge computing environments. This horizontal unit provides 8.6KW capacity at 208V Delta, with a 30A input, enabling granular control over individual outlets. Its primary function is to allow remote monitoring and switching of connected IT equipment, which is critical for managing power consumption, performing remote reboots of hung devices, and ensuring uptime in distributed IT infrastructure. The VP5N31A3 is a core component for any facility requiring precise power control at the rack level.

Compatibility

This PDU is designed to integrate with Vertiv's broader infrastructure management ecosystem. While specific model compatibility is best confirmed with Vertiv documentation, it is engineered for use with standard 208V Delta power feeds commonly found in enterprise data centers and colocation facilities. It is suitable for deployment with a wide range of IT equipment including servers, network switches, storage arrays, and other rack-mounted devices that draw power from a 30A, 208V circuit.

Installation Notes

The VP5N31A3 is a horizontal 0U rackmount unit, designed to occupy minimal rack space. It requires a 30A, 208V Delta power input connection. Proper electrical grounding is essential. The unit's switched outlets allow for individual power cycling of connected devices, a feature typically configured via its network interface.
