GENERAL AND EX CABLE MANAGEMENT OPTIONS
7.1
Cable Management
Once your equipment has been installed, you are ready to connect cables for power and communication. Before making any connections, check the equipment to ensure that all power switches are in
the OFF position.
Numerous cable entrances and management provisions are built into the various Foundation configurations to ease cable installation.
In addition to the Foundation EX Expansion System (see 6.0 - Foundation EX—Expansion System), optional cable rings, and Velcro straps are available for routing cables. These help not only to
keep your cables organized but also separate power and communications cables, reducing electromagnetic interference.
Velcro straps are field-attached to the slots provided on the internal mounting rails and support vertical cable management.

7.2
Cable Management Considerations
When designing the equipment layout in the Foundation, consider how cables must be run for each
configuration and how cable runs affect cooling, access and operational factors, such as separating
power and communication cables to reduce electromagnetic interference.
Good cable management contributes to:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Effective air flow for cooling
Easier cable identification
Improved access
Reduced electromagnetic interference
Proper bend radii, particularly for fiber optic cables
Adequate support for large cables and heavy cable bundles
Several Foundation EX options are designed to facilitate structured cable management. These are
described in 7.5 - EX Cable Management Options and Channels.
NOTE
When installing cables, leave enough slack for the unit to be rolled forward or sideways for
access to components.
Do not block or restrict cooling system (FAN, ECM or BCM - if provided) discharge or return
airflow.
Also, do not defeat the ground/earth connections between the utility/mains outlet and the
Foundation.

Cable Access—Sealed Units
7.3.1
Top Cover and Back of Sealed Units
The back of the sealed unit has a sealed entrance cable
raceway (a slot with foam gaskets) for cable access.
Units with rack-mount ECM provide one raceway at
the top of the unit, otherwise raceways are provided
top and bottom. To use it, loosen the top half of the
two-piece cover, pull your cables through the opening
and replace the cover, making sure the gasket seals
around the cables.
Optional sealed entrance cable bundles (cone-shaped
seals and clamps) permit use of the round openings on the top and/or
the bottom of the sealed Foundation for cable entry.
To bring cable through these holes:
1. Replace the plug with a sealed entrance cable bundle.
2. Pull the cable through the bundle.
3. The cable bundle can be trimmed to accommodate various
quantities of cables.
4. Use the clamp to secure the bundle around the cables.
7.3.2

Startup
8.0
STARTUP
Before plugging in your electronic equipment, make sure that all power switches are in the OFF position.
Be certain there are no obstructions, wire bundles, manuals, trash, etc., in front of or on either side of
the ECM, if your unit is so equipped. Make sure all doors are shut and sealed properly. Plug the Environmental Control Module (ECM) into a dedicated utility circuit.
• ECM’s evaporator fan will begin to circulate air inside the enclosure as soon as power is supplied
and will operate continuously.
• The compressor in the ECM is controlled by a thermostat located in the rear left corner of the
ECM. This thermostat is factory-set and does not require adjustment. If the setting is changed,
contact Liebert Technical Support for assistance.
• The compressor in the Environmental Control Module will shut down if the ECM return air temperature drops below approximately 75°F (18°C). The evaporator fan will continue to circulate
internal cabinet air throughout the sealed enclosure. The compressor will resume operating when
the Foundation ECM return air rises above approximately 75°F (18°C).
• Refer to the UPS manual for preparation for startup, details of UPS operation and the meaning of
LED indicators. After you have complied with the manual’s instructions, turn on the UPS. Check
the UPS’ indicators. If the UPS’s status is normal, proceed with the next step.
• Turn on your computer and network equipment.
NOTE
The UPS’s batteries may require recharging before it can fully supply your equipment’s power
needs for the rated time if utility power fails.
To charge the UPS batteries before using the unit, you can apply power to the UPS module
while you are installing your equipment or while making adjustments.
!
CAUTION
To avoid excessive condensation, turn off the ECM any time a Foundation door is open for
longer than 10 minutes. Also ensure that any cable entry points are sealed from external
conditions via the optional sealed entrance cable bundles or raceways.
Ensure that the enclosure will rest on a level surface. The cabinet must be level to ensure
proper operation.
28
Operation
9.0
OPERATION
9.1
Environmental
9.1.1
ECM (Environmental Control Module)
The ECM is applicable to any sealed Liebert Foundation enclosure (designated by model numbers HD
or RD). The Environmental Control Module (ECM) is sized to match the load capacity of the UPS system and the ambient heat transmitted into the Foundation. The module is located at the bottom of the
enclosure or field-installed on top of the Foundation.
Outside (ambient) air is used to remove heat from the enclosure through the air-cooled condenser.
The outside air is drawn through the louver at the front of the ECM unit and discharged at the rear of
the ECM. The ECM isolates outside air from the unit’s internal cooling circuit.
The compressor in the Environmental Control Module will shut down if the ECM return air temperature goes below 75°F (18°C), but the internal cabinet air will be continuously circulated by the evaporator fan. The compressor will resume operating when the Foundation ECM return air is above 75°F
(18°C).
The ECM is equipped with a factory-set hot gas bypass valve so that the compressor will operate
nearly continuously for maximum compressor life. This valve modulates automatically to match compressor capacity to the load. Consult Liebert Technical Support if factory adjustment is desired.
The ECM requires no external plumbing connections because excess condensate is evaporated into
the unit’s heat rejection airstream. A condensate drain tube (3/8" OD copper) is provided with the
ECM. This drain connection will route excess condensate out of the unit in the event of an extreme
condition, such as if a door is left open for an extended period while the ECM is operating, or in
extremely humid environments.
!
9.1.2
CAUTION
To avoid excessive condensation, turn off the ECM any time a Foundation door is open for
longer than 10 minutes. Also ensure that any cable entry points are sealed from external
conditions via the optional sealed entrance cable bundles or raceways.
Ensure that the enclosure will rest on a level surface. The cabinet must be level to ensure
proper operation.
Backup Cooling Module (BCM)
If your Foundation MCR is equipped with the Backup Cooling Module (BCM) option, the BCM will
automatically start if the high temperature alarm module detects an internal cabinet temperature of
100°F (38°C). The BCM will draw filtered exterior air into the Foundation MCR cabinet for use as
supplemental cooling and exhaust cabinet heat through the rear door. An audible alarm will sound
until the cabinet temperature decreases below 100°F (38°C) or is silenced by depressing the alarm
silence switch on the high temperature alarm module. Backup cooling requires the high temperature
alarm module option. The High Temperature Alarm Module also includes a dry contact for optional
remote monitoring of a high temperature condition. A separate control cable connects the BCM to the
high temperature alarm module. The BCM is normally powered through a 6-foot (1.8m) cord with
NEMA 5-15 plug connected to the factory-installed UPS, but could also be powered from a source outside the cabinet.
9.1.3
BCM Energy Saver
The Backup Cooling Energy Saver (ES) is a factory-installed option that is useful in applications
involving low exterior cabinet ambient temperatures and humidity. An enthalpy controller is used to
detect the exterior cabinet ambient conditions. If the exterior ambient conditions are suitable, the
energy saver operation will disable the ECM and enable the backup cooling system to draw filtered
exterior air into the Foundation MCR cabinet for use as cooling. The high temperature alarm module
monitors the interior cabinet temperature and if the interior temperature is less than 90°F (32°C) and
the exterior conditions suitable, turns on the Backup Cooling ES and disables the ECM. If the cabinet
temperature increases above 90°F (32°C), the Backup Cooling ES is disabled for one hour and the
ECM is enabled to supply cabinet cooling. The one-hour time-out prevents cycling of the ES option.
29
Operation
9.1.4
Active Heat Rejection Options
Your Foundation requires external airspace to allow for dissipation of the heat rejected from the
inside of the enclosure. The Heat Rejection Fan (HRF) is offered as a field-installed option to assist in
the removal of rejected ECM heat from tight spaces or alcoves without adequate ventilation. The
package includes a combination blower with inlet air louver plate. The package provides provisions
for ceiling grid installation and connection of customer-supplied 8" (203mm) diameter exhaust duct (if
required). The HRF is hard-wired in the field and requires a 120VAC, 60Hz, 15A power source or a
230VAC 50Hz, 10A power source.
The ECM heat rejection duct connects directly to the enclosure and is available as an alternative to
the Heat Rejection Fan. The package includes a flexible, round duct that is 12 ft. long (365.76cm) and
8 in. (20.32cm) in diameter. The duct is field-attached to the Foundation MCR and routed as required.
An in-line booster fan, powered by customer connection, is also included to overcome duct static pressure. This option is available for 50Hz and 60Hz applications.
9.1.5
FAN Cooling
FAN cooling is used in lieu of the ECM / BCM cooling options. FAN cooling can be provided by a single
fan or by dual fans; a total of five fans can be installed in the unit. Outside air is drawn through the
openings at the bottom of the front and back of the unit and is discharged at the top of the unit. All
60Hz FAN units are supplied with NEMA 5-15 plugs on 15-foot (4.6m) cords.
The optional FAN filter is located behind the intake air openings at the front and rear doors of the
Foundation. It should be checked periodically and cleaned. Remove the nuts securing the filter clips.
Take out the filter and wash it in soapy water. Then rinse, dry and replace it. Replace the filter clips
and secure to the Foundation.
9.2
Uninterruptible Power Supply
The Foundation may be supplied with any of several Liebert UPS units or with no UPS. For integrated/matched models, the UPS and ECM are sized with matched capacities. A larger UPS, with
more battery time, can be obtained, but the connected electronics load should not exceed the ECM
equipment load rating. Exceeding the ECM rating could cause high temperatures that might damage
the equipment housed in the Foundation.
For Foundation models supplied with a UPS, refer to the separate UPS manual for UPS operation
and specifications.
9.3
SiteNet Integrator
The Liebert SiteNet Integrator is a separate rack-mount unit that communicates the status of the
UPS and the Foundation via Ethernet SNMP. The option consists of a SiteNet Integrator module that
typically is mounted in the top of the Foundation cabinet.
The SiteNet Integrator is powered by one or two externally mounted power supplies. One is standard;
the second provides optional input power redundancy for the SNI. These power supplies provide the
9 VDC required to power the Integrator module. One supply will be plugged into the UPS or the UPS
outlet strip in the rear of the cabinet.
The power supply output cable is plugged into the SiteNet Integrator power supply main input receptacle/socket. The second supply (if present) must be on a different circuit. The second supply’s output
cable is plugged into the SiteNet Integrator power supply auxiliary input receptacle/socket.
An optional UPS/SNI interface cable is available that allows transmission of information between the
Liebert UPS and the SiteNet Integrator. This cable will plug into the DB-9 connector on the rear of
the UPS. The opposite end of the cable is plugged into the connector on the rear of the SiteNet Integrator marked UPS RS-232 DB-9P. Additionally, the SiteNet Integrator is capable of monitoring two
Liebert temperature/humidity sensors, a single temperature-only sensor, up to 10 digital/dry contact
inputs and includes two user-programmable relays.
When the high temperature alarm module is present, contacts are provided to annunciate a high temperature alarm condition inside the cabinet. Customer connection is via 0.25" quick-connect terminals
on the high temperature alarm module in the upper right rear of the cabinet. The contacts are rated
for 2 amps, 30 volts (Class 2 wiring).

Operation
9.3.1
SNI Sensor Options
All the options above are available factory-installed with the order or for field installation. Fieldinstalled options are shipped as kits containing the sensors with mounting hardware, cable and cable
restraint fixtures. Field installation requires hand tools for terminating the control cables and routing
the cables.
Door Ajar—This option consists of two normally open switches that are mounted on the cabinet’s
front and rear frame supports. The switches will indicate the position of the doors as opened or closed.
This is determined by the status of the dry-contact inputs connected to the SiteNet Integrator.
Temperature and Humidity Sensors (Internal and External)—The sensors allow monitoring of
temperature and humidity status by the SiteNet Integrator. The internal option is for installation
inside the Foundation cabinet and is supplied with a 38-inch (965mm) cord for connection between
the temperature/humidity sensor and the SiteNet Integrator. The external option is supplied with a
30-foot (9.1m) cord for monitoring of temperature/humidity status outside the Foundation cabinet.
The sensor and connection requirements for both options are identical.
Water Detect—The water detect option includes a Liebert Liqui-tect (LT-410) dry contact sensor.
The sensor is powered by a 24VAC source connected through the high temperature alarm module.
The transformer for this source is inside the ECM or BCM (an optional 120V transformer is available
when no ECM is present).
The water detector is connected to a dry-contact input on the rear of the SiteNet Integrator by a 9-foot
(2.7m) cable. The detector typically is located outside the Foundation cabinet for external water
detection.
Smoke Detector Option—A four-wire smoke detector with normally open contacts, heat sensor and
sounder alarm is mounted in the top of the Foundation cabinet. If smoke is detected, the normally
open contacts of the smoke detector will close to provide alarm status to the Integrator. The smoke
detector sounder alarm will also activate. This alarm is silenced by removing input power to the
smoke detector. The smoke detector option requires a 9VDC power source and is normally powered by
the High Temperature Alarm Module.
High Temperature Alarm Option—The high temperature alarm is a factory-installed sensor / controller module to annunciate high temperatures in the Foundation. When temperatures in the Foundation reach 100°F (38°C), an audible alarm and the BCM (if present) are activated. The high
temperature alarm module also includes a dry contact for optional remote monitoring of a high temperature condition. The high temperature alarm is powered by the ECM. If the ECM is not included
with the Foundation system, a power supply option is required. The high temperature alarm module
also provides input power to the smoke detector option.

Maintenance
11.1
Periodic Maintenance
11.1.1 Mini Computer Room
The Foundation MCR requires very little maintenance. The ECM’s condenser coil fins must be
inspected periodically to determine the necessary cleaning interval based on conditions at the installation site. Depending on site conditions the coil fins may require cleaning as often as twice a month
or as seldom as twice per year. The condenser is located at the bottom front of the ECM. If the fins
become dirty and clogged, they should be gently vacuumed with a soft bristle brush or cleaned with
compressed air.
11.1.2 Rack-Mount ECM
To access the condenser fins, open the front door of
the Foundation MCR and remove the two retaining
screws from the top of the front access plate. The
plate will swing open freely once the screws are
removed. After cleaning, swing the access plate
back into position and replace the two screws.
11.1.3 Top-Mount ECM
For top-mount ECM units, remove power to the
ECM by unplugging the power cord. Remove the
sheet metal cover from the ECM by removing all
screws on the front and sides of the unit. Screws on
Rack Mount ECM - Condenser Access Plate
(inside view)
the rear of the ECM do not need to be removed.
Clean the unit by gently vacuuming with a soft
bristle brush or cleaning with compressed air. Reinstall the cover and all screws before restarting the
ECM.
11.2
Cleaning the Optional FAN Air Filter
The optional FAN air filters, behind the intake air openings on the front and rear doors of the Foundation, should be inspected periodically to determine the necessary cleaning interval, based on conditions at your installation. If an air filter becomes dirty and clogged, it will require cleaning.
To do so:
• Remove the nuts securing the filter clips.
• Take out the filter and wash it in soapy water. Rinse, dry and replace it.
• Replace the filter clips and secure to the Foundation.
