Frequently Asked Questions

Q
Are Vertiv Geist Basic rPDUs UL/CE Listed?
A
Yes, all Vertiv Geist rPDU products carry a UL and/or CE Listed mark. If you’re looking for countries outside North America and the EU then please contact Vertiv Geist.
Q
Can I add a local meter or remote power monitoring to a Basic rPDU in the future?
A
Yes, the Basic Upgradeable rPDUs can be upgraded to have a local meter or additional intelligence in the future by replacing the IMD or Interchangeable Monitoring Device.
Q
Can I upgrade the Basic Upgradeable unit without removing power from the unit?
A
Yes, the rPDU power can remain on during the removal and/or installation of the Interchangeable Monitoring Device.
Q
Can I get a basic rPDU without an on/off switch?
A
Most Basic rPDUs have the option to have the on/off switch removed. However, some basic rPDUs utilize hydraulic-magnetic circuit breakers which can be manually shut off, therefore acting as a primary disconnect. These breakers have a guard to help prevent accidental disconnects. Vertiv Geist also offers an option to have a switch cover installed on a basic rPDU with an on/off switch. This switch cover must be installed when the unit is manufactured. Please contact Vertiv Geist for a part number.
Q
Is there a way to protect an on/off switch from being used?
A
Vertiv Geist offers an option to have a switch cover installed on a basic rPDU with an on/off switch. This switch cover must be installed when the unit is manufactured. Please contact Vertiv Geist for a part number.
