PM 2000 intelligent Power Distribution units (IPDUs) support outlet level metering and switching capability to provide datacenter professionals the tools they need to monitor, reduce, and manage their growing power consumption costs of IT equipment. Thresholds can be created to allow datacenter teams to know before problems occur and minimize downtime caused by overloaded circuits.
Outlet-Level, Phase-Level and Strip-Level Current/Voltage/Power Metering with Threshold/Alert Capabilities – Provides preemptive notification of any impending overload issues before they occur and simplifies the task of installing new equipment (Note- measurement resolution +/- %5)
On-Board Web Interface – Can be installed for direct access right out of the box or it can be configured as part of a larger integrated solution using the DSView 3 management software
IP and Serial Interface Options – Options to install by connecting directly to the network or save IP connections by using the serial interface to connect directly to Avocent appliances already connected to the network
Daisy Chaining – Saves the number of IP addresses or console/KVM ports that are required to manage all power distribution needs
Integration with DSView 3 Management Software – Single interface for management of IT equipment and PDUs simplifies mapping of outlets to servers and other equipment in order to reduce and minimize power cycling the wrong equipment
Integration with DSView 3 Software Power Manager Plug-In – Track historical trends to measure and monitor IT power consumption, capacity and cost in order to understand what issues exist and to make more informed decisions in the future
Electronic Overcurrent Protection – An added layer of protection that is activated in the event of minor overloads; during such events, outlets are turned off first instead of the primary overcurrent protection (OCP) tripping
Sequential Startup – Protects integrity of all upstream electrical infrastructure by staggering the inrush current draw of all plugged-in devices
Internal Temperature Sensor and Two Optional External Sensors – These sensors can measure environmental factors at several different points within the rack
