Connect the Liebert
The included communication card, the
Liebert RPC, permits managing the
Liebert MPH
over a secure Web page and
™
SNMP-based network management
system. The Liebert RPC permits
interconnecting multiple Liebert MPH
units and connecting Liebert MPH with
Liebert MPX units for monitoring and
management. For details, refer to the
Liebert RPC user manual, SL-20825,
available at the Liebert Web site:
www.liebert.com
To connect the Liebert RPC to your
network:
1. Insert one end of an Ethernet cable into the LAN port on the Liebert RPC. The LAN port is
marked by an icon (see above).
Do NOT insert the Ethernet cable into any other port.
2. Attach the other end of the Ethernet cable into a network connection, either a port on a computer
or on a router.

Temperature/Humidity Sensor Installation—Optional
Optional Liebert SN temperature/humidity sensors are available to assist in monitoring conditions in
the rack. Liebert SN sensors are designed for installation without tools, but each may be placed in
any area to monitor temperature and humidity levels. Each connects to the Liebert RPC, which
makes readings available to Liebert MPH monitoring methods.
Only one mounting method is addressed in this document: attaching a single sensor with a bracket to
a DCF
or DCM

quick-start guide, SL-20840, or to the Liebert RPC user manual, SL-20825. Each is
available at Liebert's Web site,
To install a sensor:
1. Assemble the Liebert SN and sensor bracket by snapping the sensor bracket base into the sensor
support.
2. Choose where to install the temperature/humidity sensor in the rack. Emerson recommends
placing the sensor in the area that is likely to be warmest.
3. Hold the sensor on a T-slot on the DCF or DCM frame where the sensor will be placed.
4. Insert the included quarter-turn fastener through the rectangular hole in the sensor bracket base
and into the T-slot.
5. Turn the fastener clockwise 90 degrees, a quarter of a turn.
6. Route the sensor cable to the Liebert RPC and insert it into the card's external sensor port.
