Vertiv Liebert iCOM User Manual

U2U Network Requirements
The network must be private:
• Isolated from other network traffic/non-Liebert Thermal equipment.
• Switches connecting the units must be dedicated to Vertiv™ Liebert® iCOM™ communication only.
• Do not connect the U2U network to the building or IT network. If the U2U network experiences a failure, the
cooling units continue to operate independently.

• Input/output board (one in each cooling unit)
• Nine inch color touchscreen display or vNSA14-iCOM-H
Of the 64 nodes, up to 32 may be cooling unit input/output boards connected as a group. Table 13.6 below , provides U2U
