APC s Switched Rack Power Distribution Units (PDUs) are premium solutions to many of the power management problems seen in today s IT environments. Some of the problems are unauthorized use of power outlets, locked-up equipment, in-rush current, overloaded circuits, and the need of remote access to power outlets in the rack. The Switched Rack PDUs address these problems through individual outlet control, power on and off delays, current monitoring, alarm thresholds, and network management.
Individual outlet control allows users to turn outlets on, turn outlets off, or recycle power to equipment, which can reboot locked-up equipment and avoid unauthorized use of outlets. Power delays allow users to determine the order in which equipment is powered up or down. Utilizing the power delay feature will avoid in-rush current, which can cause overloads.
Monitoring the current draw at the rack level is key to avoiding downtime due to overloaded circuits. The Switched Rack PDUs provide an aggregate current draw, which can be viewed remotely or locally, via digital display. In addition, alarms will be generated based on user-defined thresholds to alert users of potential circuit overloads.
Users can access, configure, and control the Switched Rack PDUs through Web, SNMP, or Telnet Interfaces.
Key Features & Benefits:
" Individual Outlet Control: Remotely manage outlets so users can turn outlets off that are not in use (prevent overloads) or recycle power to locked-up equipment (minimize costly downtime and avoid travel time to equipment).
" Current Monitoring: Monitors the aggregate current draw of the power distribution unit. This helps avoid overloaded circuits by warning installers and users that they are close to the maximum amperage draw of the unit.
" Current Alarm Thresholds: Users can define alarm thresholds in order to avoid overloaded circuits. Network and visual alarms inform the user of possible problems.
" Power on and off Delays: Allows users to configure the sequence in which power is turned on or off for each outlet. This helps avoid in-rushes at start-up, which can cause overloaded circuits and dropped loads. Sequencing also allows users to predetermine which piece of equipment is turned on first so other equipment dependant on that unit will function properly.
" Remote Management Capabilities: Full-featured network management interfaces that provide standards-based management via Browser, SNMP, and Telnet. Allows users to access, configure, and manage units from remote locations to save valuable time.
