1.0 INTRODUCTION AND SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Congratulations on your choice of the Liebert MP2-220N POD™ (3U POD). The 3U POD provides
maintenance bypass capability as well as power output distribution. The 3U POD can be used on
UPSs in the rack mount or tower configuration.
The 3U POD provides an isolated path of power for your UPS system for preventive maintenance or
service. As shipped, cords and receptacles provide ready to use UTILITY and LOAD connections.
Optionally, the utility input and/or the load output may be converted to hardwiring,
1.1 System Description
The 3U POD has two modes of operation: UPS (UPS available) and UTILITY (maintenance bypass).
•In UPS mode, the power is routed through the UPS system delivering conditioned power to the
load, as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1 UPS mode of operation
•In UTILITY mode, the power is routed around (bypassing) the UPS system (see Figure 2). Util-
ity power is supplied directly to the load through the 3U POD.
Figure 2 UTILITY/maintenance bypass mode
• In Utility mode, the UPS may be turned off and removed without affecting the load. See
Figure 3.
Figure 3 Front panel view showing plug-in connections to and from the UPS
!CAUTION
Battery back-up and conditioned power are NOT available during the UTILITY mode
of operation.

2.0 RACK MOUNT INSTALLATION
1. Rack mount installation of the 3U POD is possible with the use of the rack mounting brackets
(shipped with the 3U POD). See Figure 4.
2. The rack mounting brackets allow you to rack mount the 3U POD in a 19" enclosure (23" to
19" rack adapters would have to be purchased separately if you are using our 23" Foundation or
equivalent cabinet).
3. The 3U POD can be mounted to face one of four directions depending on your application,
utilizing the rack mount brackets provided.
4. Determine the desired position and direction for the 3U POD, face it in that direction, then attach
the brackets to the 3U POD with the two (2) screws provided for each bracket.
5. Consult your rack/enclosure manufacturer’s recommendations for specific rack mounting
hardware that will be required.

Visually inspect the 3U POD for freight damage. Report damage to the carrier and your local dealer,
Liebert representative or the Liebert Worldwide Support Group.
3.1 Power Connection Options
The 3U POD may be connected to the UPS in either of two ways:
• The unit is shipped ready for connection with NEMA cords and receptacles (Cord-Receptacle
Installation).
• Alternatively, the input and output connections may be converted to hardwire applications
(Alternate Hardwire Installation).
Follow the instructions for the preferred installation option, as listed in Table 1.
3.2 Cord-Receptacle Installation and St art-Up
1. Verify that the 3U POD input cord, UPS input cord and receptacle for the UPS have the same
type of configuration.
2. If you already have a UPS installed, turn off any connected loads and unplug them from the UPS.
Turn off the UPS and disconnect the UPS input cord.
3. Make sure the 3U POD rotary switch is in the UTILITY position. Plug the 3U POD input cord
(labeled “UTILITY”) into the utility outlet (wall receptacle).
WARNING: The 3U POD is now electrically live. The UTILITY lamp (amber) should be illumi-
nated.
4. Plug the UPS input cord into the receptacle on top of the 3U POD labeled “CONNECT UPS LINE
CORD HERE.”
WARNING: The UPS system is now electrically live.
5. Connect the second 3U POD input cord (labeled “UPS”) into the matching load receptacle on the
rear of the UPS.
6. Plug in all loads to the load receptacles. The 3U POD now powers your equipment in the UTILITY
mode.
7. Turn ON the loads and ensure all are up and operating according to specification.
8. Start the UPS according to its specific user manual.
9. Verify that the UPS lamp (green) on the 3U POD is illuminated. If so, transfer the rotary switch
from UTILITY to UPS. The load is now being supplied with conditioned power through the UPS.
10. Before any operation or procedure, always verify that both the UPS lamp (green) and the
UTILITY lamp (amber) are illuminated before changing the status of the rotary switch.

4.0 ALTERNATE HARDWIRE INSTALLATION
4.1 Electrical Installation Considerations
The utility input supply cable must be connected to the unit via a wall-mounted circuit breaker. The
UPS output port must also be protected with a circuit breaker connected to the load, rated to carry the
input current, and be capable of breaking the maximum prospective short circuit current of this
branch circuit. The breaker must be mounted within six feet of the UPS and be readily accessible to
the operator. Please refer to Table 2 for breaker specifications.
4.1.1 Conduit Entry and Wiring Access Doors
The side and rear of the 3U POD provide alternate conduit entry points for both UTILITY and LOAD
connections.
4.2 Electrical Connections
The cable sizes and distribution methods used during installation are subject to local and national
electrical codes of practice and are therefore not listed in this manual. Table 2 shows the standard
current ratings.
!WARNING
This unit must be installed by competent electrical personnel and wired in accordance with
local/national electrical codes.
Review this entire manual and the installation instructions in this section before beginning
the installation.
Before installing, open all branch circuit power at the nearest disconnect, turn the UPS off,
and disconnect all cords to and from the UPS.

4.3 Conversion From Cord-Receptacle to Hardwire
Two wiring access panels on the front of the 3U POD allow access to the wiring compartments. Each
access door is retained using four Phillips head screws.
1. Remove the eight Phillips head screws from the wiring access panels on the front of the unit. Save
the screws.
2. Holding the panels aside, disconnect the three wires that connect each panel to the internal
terminal block. Remove the panels. DO NOT LOOSEN THE UPPER TERMINAL BLOCK
SCREWS USED FOR INTERNAL WIRING.
3. Install flexible conduit with wiring to the applicable conduit entry holes on the side or rear of the
unit.
4. Terminate the wiring to the internal terminal blocks. The wiring compartments provide terminal
blocks to connect Line, Neutral, and Ground for both the UTILITY input and the LOAD output.
5. When wiring is complete and secure, install the two blank hardwire access plates supplied with
the unit, using the eight screws removed in Step 1.
6. The unit is now ready to use.
Properly grounded (earthed) equipment provides multiple benefits
High quality ground (earth) connections are required for the equipment ground conductors (protective
earth) and grounding electrode conductor (power system earth connection) to reduce electrical noise
and provide for safe operation of the UPS and connected loads. Conduit used alone without a ground-
ing conductor wire is not an acceptable connection. Size ground (protective earth) conductors equal to
circuit conductors.
For wiring information, refer to Table 2.
