understand all necessary safety precautions, and be able to perform all operations correctly.
• Only trained and qualified personnel are allowed to install, operate, and maintain the equipment.
• Only personnel certified or authorized by Huawei are allowed to replace or change the equipment
or components (including software).
• Any fault or error that might cause safety problems must be reported immediately to a supervisor.
4. Grounding requirements
• When installing the equipment, ground it first.
• When removing the equipment, disconnect the ground cable finally.
• Do not damage the ground conductor.
• Do not operate the equipment in the absence of a properly installed ground conductor.
• The equipment must be grounded permanently. Before operating the equipment, check the
electrical connection of the equipment to ensure that it is securely grounded.
5. Personal requirements
• Do not operate the equipment or cables during thunderstorms.
• Remove the AC power connector and do not use the fixed terminal or touch the terminal or
antenna connector in a thunderstorm.
• Before operating the equipment, wear electrostatic discharge (ESD) clothes, ESD gloves, and an
ESD wrist strap. Do not wear conductors such as jewelry or watches when operating the
equipment.
• In the case of a fire, immediately leave the building or the equipment area, and turn on the fire
alarm bell or make an emergency call. Never enter a building or equipment area that is on fire.
6. Equipment requirements
• Before operations, ensure that the equipment is firmly secured to the floor or other solid objects,
such as a wall or an installation rack.
• Do not block the air vent while the system is operating.
• Tighten the screws using tools when installing panels.

7 Power-On Commissioning
1. Turn on the SPD circuit breaker.
2. Turn on the external power input circuit breaker.
3. Turn on the UPS input switch.
4. Set UPS parameters after UPS startup, then start the inverter, and turn on the UPS output switch.
5. Turn on all output circuit breakers of the PDU5000 in sequence and check that the output voltage
is normal by using a multimeter.
6. After checking that the parameters are normal, turn off all the circuit breakers one by one and
disconnect the power supply.

NOTE
When switching on the circuit breakers, observe whether there is any abnormal phenomenon, such
as sparks or unsmooth switching on/off.

10.1 Replacing a Circuit Breaker
Prerequisites:
• Tools: electroprobe, insulation gloves, flat-head screwdriver, Phillips screwdriver, multimeter
• A spare circuit breaker of the same model is available and functional.

NOTICE

1. Replacing circuit breakers for PDU5000 results in service interruptions.

2. The upstream user switch for the PDU5000 must be OFF. Ensure that the input is disconnected
during replacement.

Procedure:
Step 1 Turn off the upstream user switch. Remove the input power cable, UPS input and output
power cables, cabinet power cable, and signal cable from the rear of the PDU5000, and mark the
connection positions.
NOTICE
After removing cables, wrap exposed terminals with insulation tape and do not block cable
labels. If cable labels are blocked, cables may be connected incorrectly later.
Step 2 Remove the PDU5000, and remove the top and front covers of the PDU5000.
Step 3 (Optional) Remove the copper bar of the circuit breaker on PDU5000.

Removing the copper bar

Step 4 Remove the faulty circuit breaker using a screwdriver.

Step 5 Replace the faulty circuit breaker on the PDU5000 with a new one.
Step 6 (Optional) Insert the removed copper bar into the circuit breaker and secure it with screws.
Step 7 Reinstall the removed top and front covers of the PDU5000.
Step 8 Secure the PDU5000 to the cabinet, and install the PDU5000.
Step 9 Install cables for the PDU5000 and perform power-on commissioning.

10.2 Replacing a Surge Protection Module

DANGER
• Do not replace a surge protection module during a thunderstorm.
• Before replacing a surge protection module, wear protective insulation gloves.

Prerequisites:
• Tools: protective insulation gloves, electroprobe
• Material: A spare surge protection module of the same model is
available and functional.
Procedure:
Step 1 Switch the SPD circuit breaker to OFF.
Step 2 Remove the protective panel of the SPD.
Step 3 Detect the L1, L2, L3, and N voltages to
the PE using an electrical tester pen to check
whether there is voltage, as shown in the right
figure, and verify that the faulty SPD has no
voltage before replacing the faulty surge protection
module.
Step 4 Hold the faulty surge protection module Measuring the voltage
and pull it out, as shown in the following figure.

DANGER

During replacement, do not touch the electriferous components in the PDU5000.
