pp Lite's PDUMV30NET Switched, Metered Rack Power Distribution Unit provide a variety of advanced network control and monitoring functions. They give IT managers the ability to remotely monitor PDU power consumption and in-rack environmental conditions, and to turn on, turn off, recycle or lock out power to each individual receptacle. Switched PDU systems can be accessed, configured and controlled through secure Web, SNMP or Telnet interfaces. Individually switched outlets can be controlled via a built-in Web/network interface, enabling remote reboots of unresponsive network hardware. User-defined power-up and power-down outlet sequences ensure proper operation of interdependent IT systems and prevent inrush-related overloads as devices are powered on. Programmable load shedding of less critical devices at user-defined intervals extends UPS uptime in response to power failures. Unused PDU outlets can be electronically locked off to prevent powering of unauthorized hardware. PDU power consumption is displayed locally and can be monitored via the Web/network interface, with user-defined alarms to warn of potential overloads before critical IT mains or branch breakers trip. An optional ENVIROSENSE temperature/humidity probe enables remote monitoring of in-rack environmental conditions and alarms for up to three user-supplied contact-closure sensors. Supports real-time monitoring, notification and logging of all on-board reporting functions with user-specified alarm thresholds and actions for each reported condition.
