IMPORTANT SAFETY GUIDELINES
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
NOTICE
Risk of overhead interference. Can cause module or structural damage.
The module may be too tall to fit through a doorway while on the skid. Measure the module
and doorway heights and verify clearances by referring to the installation plans and other
site-specific drawings and documents before moving the module.
Fluorinated Greenhouse Gas Requirements—European Union
Stationary air conditioning, refrigeration, heat pump equipments and stationary fire protection systems in
the European Community market and operating with fluorinated greenhouse gases (f-gas), such as R407C,
R134a, R410A, must comply with the F-Gas Regulation: (EC) No. 842/2006 (F-gas). The regulation prohibits,
among other actions, venting fluorinated greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.
The F-Gas Regulation also requires operators to use all measures that are technically feasible and do not
entail disproportionate cost to prevent leakage of these gases, to test for leakage regularly and to recover f-gas
during equipment service and maintenance and before disposing of equipment.
Refer to the full regulation for additional details.
!
WARNING
Risk of top-heavy module falling over. Can cause equipment damage, personal injury or
death.
Improper handling can cause equipment damage, injury, or death. Read all of the following
instructions before attempting to move, lift, remove packaging from the module, or preparing
module for installation.
!
WARNING
Risk of explosive discharge of high-pressure refrigerant. Can cause personal injury or death.
This module contains fluids and/or gases under high pressure. Relieve system pressure before

2.0 INTRODUCTION
2.1 References
This document must be used together with site specific documentation and documentation for other
parts of the system.
2.2 Pre-Installation Checks
• Check the received materials to be sure all required assemblies and parts have been received. If
you discover any external damage, report it to the shipping company and your local Emerson rep-
resentative.
2.3 Packing List
• User manual (this document)
• Liebert XDR module
2.4 Installation Considerations
The Liebert XDR is designed for attachment to the rear of computer cabinets in the data center. See
4.0 - Mechanical Considerations for details.
2.4.1 Room Preparation
The room should be well-insulated and must have a sealed vapor barrier. The vapor barrier in the
ceiling and walls can be a polyethylene film. Paint on concrete walls and floors should contain either
rubber or plastic.
Outside or fresh air should be kept to a minimum when temperature and humidity must be tightly
controlled. Outside air adds to the cooling, heating, dehumidifying and humidifying loads of the site.
Doors should be properly sealed to minimize leaks and should not contain ventilation grilles.
NOTE
The vapor barrier is the single most important requirement for maintaining environmental
control in the conditioned space.

3.0 GENERAL PRODUCT INFORMATION
3.1 Product/System Description
The Liebert XDR is a cooling system for high-density heat loads that mounts on the rear of a
24" x 42U rack (for other sizes consult the factory) and maintains access to the back of the server
rack. Room air is drawn in through the front of the rack and picks up heat from the servers. The coil
captures that heat, cooling the air, which is expelled through the rear of the rack.
The Liebert XDR relies on the rack equipment’s fans to move air across the micro-channel coil. Cap-
tured heat is carried away through pumped R-134a refrigerant supplied by either a Liebert XDP™ or
Liebert XDC™.
The complete cooling system may include other Liebert XD cooling modules, such as the Liebert
XDO™, Liebert XDV™, Liebert XDH™, Liebert XDA™ or Liebert XDCF™ (see Figure 3) and Liebert
XD Flex Piping.
The Liebert XDR is not expected to produce any condensation because of its location, usually in the
data center. A condensate pan is provided as a precaution. It does not have a drain fitting or other
means of being emptied.
Four handles to ease carrying the Liebert XDR are attached at the factory. These should be removed
after the module is attached to the rear of the enclosure. Leaving the handles attached would require
space between the racks. The handles should be retained for use if the Liebert XDR is removed from
the enclosure.
Figure 3 Generic piping layout
3.2 Checking and Unpacking
Upon arrival of the module and before unpacking it, verify that the labeled equipment matches the
bill of lading.
Inspect all items for either visible or concealed damage. Damage should be immediately reported to
the carrier and a damage claim filed with a copy sent to Emerson or to your sales representative. If
you later find any concealed damage, report it to both the shipping company and your local Emerson
representative.
Check to be sure all required assemblies and parts have been received.
The Liebert XDR is shipped in protective packaging and secured to a pallet (see Figure 5). Do not
remove these protective items from the Liebert XDR before it is at the installation location. When
unpacking and handling the Liebert XDR, exercise extra care to prevent damage.

3.2.2 Module Handling
When unpacking and handling the module, exercise extra care to prevent damage.
Use a forklift or pallet jack to move the Liebert XDR. If multiple Liebert XDR modules are delivered,
they will be shipped on a pallet with up to four modules. A pallet jack will be required to move these
modules to the installation location.
• If using a forklift or pallet jack, ensure that the fork tine length is suitable to safely move the
packaged module.
• Keep the module in the protective packaging until it has been moved to the installation site.
• When handling and unpacking the module, exercise great care to prevent damage.
• Do not lift the module any higher than 6" (152mm) while moving it. If it must be lifted higher
than 6" (152mm), exercise great care and keep all personnel who are not helping move the module
at least 20 feet (5m) away from the module.
• Do not use module piping to lift or move the Liebert XDR.
!
CAUTION
Risk of sharp edges, splinters and exposed fasteners. Can cause personal injury.
Only properly trained personnel wearing appropriate safety headgear, gloves, shoes and
glasses should attempt to move, lift, remove packaging from, or prepare module for
installation.
!
WARNING
Risk of 130-pound (59 kg) module falling. Can cause equipment damage, personal injury or
death.
Do not leave a Liebert XDR standing unattended on its side or its end without adequate
support to prevent it from falling over. The Liebert XDR must be supported at all times or laid
flat on protective material until it is installed.
Two properly trained and qualified people are required to move the module.

4.2 Determining Placement in the Conditioned Space
Refer to site-specific drawings for exact placement. Efficient cooling of the rack equipment depends on
proper placement of equipment, proper use of blanking plates in any voids in the rack, and good cable
management.
The Liebert XDR is engineered to fit the rear of computer enclosure cabinets. Figures 7,8 and 9
illustrate the module's dimensions and the location of pipes.

4.3 Airflow
The server fans draw air into the equipment enclosure. After heated the air, the server fans force the
air across the Liebert XDR’s two coils. The Liebert XDR has a low air-side pressure drop (similar to a
rack with perforated doors). The server fans within the rack create sufficient airflow to move the air.
Figure 10 Generic airflow diagram
Efficient cooling of rack equipment depends on proper use of blanking plates in any voids in the rack
and good cable management. Keep the Liebert XDR’s coils clear of any obstructions that may block
the airflow.
Each of the Liebert XDR’s coils removes approximately half the load. For even cooling in partially
filled racks, servers should be evenly spaced and blanking plates should be installed on unused rack
spaces to prevent recirculation of heated air.
NOTE
Air bypass and recirculation can severely reduce the cooling effectiveness of the Liebert XDR.
Blanking plates must be installed in any voids in the rack to prevent air bypass and air
recirculation. Contact the factory for further information. Refer to the user manual supplied
with the rack the Liebert XDR is mounted on.

5.0 INSTALLATION
5.1 Installing the Rack-Mounting Kit onto the Rack
The Liebert XDR module mounts on the rear of the rack using a mounting kit. The mounting kit
secures the Liebert XDR's frame to the rack. Two rails are attached to the rear of the rack with
M6 x 12 bolts. The number of bolts can vary depending on the rack.
Before beginning to attach the rack-mounting brackets to the rack, remove the rear door from the
rack. Refer to the rack’s installation manual for details.
1. Insert and screw in the M6 x 12mm bolts that shipped with the Rack Connecting Bracket.
2. Tighten the bolts with a 10mm wrench.
5.2 Mounting the Liebert XDR on the Rack-Mounting Kit
The rack-mounting brackets must be mounted on the rack before the Liebert XDR can be installed.
1. Thread one of the provided M6x12 bolts into the top threaded hole of each rail attached to the
rack.
2. Use fingers or a 10mm wrench to tighten the bolts, leaving a 1/8" (3-4mm) gap between the bolt
heads and the rail. This gap is necessary to allow the door to fit over the bolts and hang safely on
the rack.
3. With another person, lift the Liebert XDR by the handles on the sides, match the two keyhole
slots near the top of the Liebert XDR frame to the bolts and hang the Liebert XDR on the rack.
4. Thread the remaining bolts through the holes in the frame and into the mounting rails.
5. Tighten all of the bolts snugly with a 10mm wrench.

WARNING
Risk of 130-pound (59 kg) module falling or causing cabinet to tip over. Can cause equipment
damage, personal injury or death.
• Read all instructions before beginning.
• Use caution when installing the Liebert XDR on an equipment cabinet, particularly a cabi-
net with little equipment installed. Lack of weight in the cabinet could cause it to tip while
the Liebert XDR is being installed.
• Two properly trained and qualified people are required to handle the Liebert XDR.
• Do not move a cabinet with a Liebert XDR installed on it.

6.0 PIPING
Refer to site-specific drawings for general locations of the piping connections. The drawings should
specify where the piping connects to the Liebert XDR.
6.1 European Union Fluorinated Greenhouse Gas Requirements
Stationary air conditioning, refrigeration, heat pump equipment and stationary fire protection sys-
tems in the European Community market and operating with fluorinated greenhouse gases (f-gas),
such as R407C, R-134a, R410A, must comply with the F-Gas Regulation: (EC) No. 842/2006 (F-gas).
The regulation prohibits, among other actions, venting fluorinated greenhouse gases to the atmo-
sphere.
The F-Gas Regulation requires operators to use all measures that are technically feasible and do not
entail disproportionate cost to prevent leakage of these gases, to test for leakage regularly and to
recover f-gas before disposing of equipment, as well as during service and maintenance.
Refer to the full regulation for additional details.
6.2 System Connection Configuration
If possible, connect the Liebert XDR modules to Liebert XDPs or Liebert XDCs in an interlaced
configuration (see Figure 12). In an interlaced configuration, half the cooling modules in an aisle are
connected to one Liebert XDP or Liebert XDC and the other half in that aisle are connected to another
Liebert XDP or Liebert XDC. Interlacing the connection piping will keep half the Liebert XDR
modules operating and maintain cooling in the conditioned space should one of the Liebert XDP or
Liebert XDC units fail.
However, if this is not possible, connect the Liebert XDR modules in a non-interlaced configuration
(see Figure 13).

6.3 Connection Methods and Points
Refer to site specific drawings for general locations of the piping connections. For Liebert XDR con-
nection locations, refer also to Figures 14,17 and 21.
The assembly and connection means used for piping in the Liebert XD system are the same as those
used in conventional refrigeration systems. Observe all standard practices during installation and
startup to prevent damage and contamination. All piping must be ASTM Type ACR copper.
The Liebert XDR has supply and return piping access on the top of each module. Supply piping con-
nection is 1/2" OD copper pipe, and return piping connection is 7/8" OD copper. The hard-piped Lie-
bert XDR has a low-pressure nitrogen holding charge.
Both supply and return couplings may be supplied with optional one-shot couplings. These couplings
contain pressurized R-134a refrigerant inside the Liebert XDR.
For Liebert XDRs with removable couplings, the supply piping connection is 1/2" OD and the return
piping connection is 7/8" OD. Both the Liebert XDR and the Liebert XD Flex Pipe with removable cou-
plings have a low-pressure nitrogen holding charge.
6.4 Insulation
To minimize the possibility of condensation, insulate all piping between the Liebert XDR and the Lie-
bert XDP or Liebert XDC.
6.5 Venting the Holding Charge for Hard-Piped or Removable Liebert XD Flex Pipe
Couplings
The Liebert XDR in either hard-piped configuration or with removable couplings is shipped with a
low-pressure holding charge (about 30 psi) of nitrogen to prevent oxidation and moisture. This must be
vented from the refrigeration circuit before removing the copper cap.
To vent the holding charge:
1. Find the Schrader valve that retains the nitrogen holding charge in the Liebert XDR. The valve is
inside the rear door, on the supply line (see Figure 14 for hard-piped connections and Figure 22
for removable couplings).
2. Vent the holding charge in the circuit by depressing the pin in the Schrader valve on the supply
line.
3. Replace and secure the cap on the Schrader valve that was opened.
NOTE
This procedure is for modules with hard-piped or removable couplings ONLY. Do not vent a
pre-charged Liebert XDR or pre-charged Liebert XD Flex Piping.

6.5.1 Brazing Preparations
The assembly and connection means used for piping in the Liebert XD system are similar to those
used for conventional refrigeration systems. All piping should be installed with high-temperature
brazed joints. Soft soldering is not recommended.
After the holding charge has been vented and before brazing, wrap a wet rag around the copper con-
nections before removing the caps to prevent internal component damage. A torch can be used to
remove the caps over the ends of the supply and return lines.
During brazing, the lines must be filled with flowing dry nitrogen to prevent excessive oxidation and scale
formation inside the piping. Prevailing good refrigeration practices must be employed for piping supports,
leak testing, dehydration and charging. Failure to use good system practices may result in damage to the
system. Refer to the ASHRAE refrigeration handbook for general good-practice refrigeration.
6.5.2 Recommended Piping Size
Connect the main pipes between the Liebert XDR branch piping and the Liebert XDP or Liebert XDC
according to Table 1. Elbows and restrictions must be minimized to ensure good fluid flow.
See Table 1 below for recommended pipe sizes and Figure 3 for piping segment locations.
See Figure 14 for piping recommendations for hard-piping between the Liebert XDR and the header
system.
6.6 Hard-Piped Connection Sizes
The supply piping for the refrigeration circuit is 1/2" OD copper pipe. The return piping for the circuit
is 7/8" OD copper.
The Liebert XDR modules that are intended for hard-piping connections will have copper caps sol-
dered in place and a holding charge of nitrogen.

6.7.1 Connecting Methods—One-Shot Couplings for Pre-Charged Refrigerant Option
Liebert XDRs with the pre-charged option are equipped with one-shot couplings on the supply and
return fittings. These contain a charge of R-134a refrigerant under pressure within the module. This
charge must not be vented.
Do not remove the pipe caps or plugs before the module is ready for connection to Liebert XD Piping.
Do not disconnect one-shot Liebert XD Flex Pipes after they have been connected.
The assembly and connection means used for piping in the Liebert XD system are the same as those
used in conventional refrigeration systems. Observe all standard practices during installation and
startup to prevent damage and contamination.
Both supply and return fittings may be supplied with optional, one-shot couplings. These fittings con-
tain pressurized R-134a refrigerant inside the Liebert XDR.
If the module includes the optional, factory-installed, one-shot style couplings, proceed with 6.7.2 -
Connect a Liebert XDR with One-Shot Couplings to Liebert XD Flex Pipe and see Figure 17.
If the module does not include Liebert Flex Pipes, refer to 6.5 - Venting the Holding Charge for
Hard-Piped or Removable Liebert XD Flex Pipe Couplings.
Figure 17 Piping location and connection sizes—modules with pre-charged modules
!
CAUTION
Risk of sudden refrigerant discharge. Can cause loss of charge and minor injury.
If the optional pre-charged option is chosen, the Liebert XDR is shipped with a full charge of
R-134a refrigerant under pressure. Do not remove the pipe caps or plugs before the module is
ready for connection to Liebert XD Piping.
Supply and return fittings on the pre-charged Liebert XDR modules are one-shot couplings.
Do not disconnect one-shot couplings after they have been connected. Disconnection will
release pressurized R-134a refrigerant from the Liebert XDR.

6.7.7 Disconnecting the Liebert XD Flex Pipe from the Liebert XDR
NOTICE
Risk of improper reuse of Liebert XD Flex Pipes with one-shot connections. Can cause
refrigerant leaks.
Liebert XD Flex Pipes with one-shot connections must not be removed from the Liebert XDR
unless they are being replaced with Liebert XD Flex Pipes with one-shot couplings. Do not
reuse Liebert XD Flex Pipes with one-shot connections. Reuse may result in refrigerant leaks.
Tools Required
• Two adjustable wrenches with a maximum adjustment size of 2 inches
1. Reclaim the refrigerant in the Liebert XD Flex Pipe and in the module by attaching a refrigerant
reclaim device to the Schrader valve. For help finding the Schrader valve, see Figures 14,17
and 21.
2. Hold the Liebert XD Flex Pipe so it does not rotate.
For the Liebert XD Flex Pipe with one-shot couplings, additionally, hold the brass body of the cou-
pling so it does not rotate while loosening the couplings. Failing to do so may cause damage.
3. Loosen the Liebert XD Flex Pipe coupling from the module with a wrench.
4. Replace the dust plug on the Liebert XD Flex Pipe.
5. Replace the dust cap on the Liebert XD module.
6. Lay the Liebert XD Flex Pipe with removable couplings aside where it will not be damaged.
Discard or recycle the one-shot Liebert XD Flex Pipes.
NOTICE
Risk of permanent damage to the Liebert XD Flex Pipes. Do not fold or bend pipe tightly.
6.7.8 Removing the Liebert XDR from a Cabinet
1. Reinstall the four removable installation handles.
2. Loosen the bolts holding the Liebert XDR on the cabinet.
3. With the help of another person, lift the Liebert XDR from the cabinet or hanging bracket onto a
stable surface.
!
WARNING
Risk of 130-pound (59 kg) module falling. Can cause equipment damage, personal injury or
death.
Removing a Liebert XDR from above a cabinet will require two properly trained and qualified
people. Read all instructions before beginning.

7.0 INSTALLATION CHECKLIST AND SYSTEM FILL FOR STARTUP
7.1 Checklist for Proper Installation
___ 1. Liebert XDR modules are securely attached to the cabinet and aligned properly with the rack.
___ 2. Check to ensure there are no obstructions that prevent the Liebert XDR from opening.
___ 3. Piping from Liebert XDP or Liebert XDC, with isolation valves, is properly connected to each
Liebert XDR module.
___ 4. Liebert XD Flex Pipe couplings to prefabricated header assembly are secure and according to
specifications.
___ 5. System checked for leakage.
___ 6. Check the R-134a refrigerant charge (see the user manual for either the Liebert XDP,
SL-16671 or the Liebert XDC, SL-16644; each is available on the Liebert Web site,
www.liebert.com).
___ 7. Run system and verify that the Liebert XDP or Liebert XDC and the Liebert XDR modules
operate properly.
___ 8. Piping is insulated.
7.2 Charging with Refrigerant

8.0 STARTING THE LIEBERT XD SYSTEM
Refer to the user manual for the refrigerant supply unit, either a Liebert XDP or Liebert XDC, for
details on starting the system. The Liebert XDP user manual is SL-16644 and the Liebert XDC user
manual is SL-16671. The user manuals were supplied with the units and are available on the Liebert
Web site, www.liebert.com
Maintenance

9.0 MAINTENANCE
Minimal maintenance is required to keep the Liebert XDR operating at optimal levels. The module
should be cleaned and checked for damage. Suggested maintenance includes:
• Cooling fins—Clean any dust and debris from the cooling fins, taking care not to bend them.
9.1 Fluorinated Greenhouse Gas Requirements
Stationary air conditioning, refrigeration, heat pump equipment and stationary fire protection sys-
tems in the European Community market and operating with fluorinated greenhouse gases (f-gas),
such as R407C, R134a, R410A, must comply with the F-Gas Regulation: (EC) No. 842/2006 (F-gas).
The regulation prohibits, among other actions, venting fluorinated greenhouse gases to the atmo-
sphere.
The F-Gas Regulation requires operators to use all measures that are technically feasible and do not
entail disproportionate cost to prevent leakage of these gases, to test for leakage regularly and to
recover f-gas during equipment service and maintenance and before disposing of equipment.
Refer to the full regulation for additional details.
