Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the benefits of metered by outlet power monitoring?
A: Metered by outlet monitoring provides individual power consumption data for each connected device, enabling precise energy management, capacity planning, and billing accuracy. This intelligent PDU helps identify power-hungry equipment, optimize load distribution, and implement effective power budgeting strategies in data center environments.
Q: How does the ZeroU form factor benefit data center installations?
A: The ZeroU form factor allows vertical mounting alongside rack equipment without consuming valuable rack units. This space-saving design maximizes server density while providing comprehensive power distribution and monitoring. The vertical installation also improves cable management and provides easy access to outlets.
Q: Can I remotely control individual outlets on this PDU?
A: Yes, this switched PDU provides remote power management capabilities for each outlet. Through the network management interface, you can remotely power on/off individual outlets, schedule power operations, and perform emergency shutdowns. This functionality is essential for remote troubleshooting and automated power management in data centers.
Q: What network management capabilities does this PDU offer?
A: With an optional network management card, this PDU supports SNMP monitoring, web-based management, SSH, and Telnet access. Features include real-time power monitoring, configurable alarms, event logging, user access control, and integration with data center infrastructure management (DCIM) systems for comprehensive facility monitoring.
