Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the advantages of monitored switched PDUs versus basic PDUs?
A: Monitored switched PDUs like the P16E24M-BL5C provide advanced capabilities including individual outlet control, real-time power monitoring, and remote management. Unlike basic PDUs, this intelligent power distribution unit enables IT administrators to monitor power consumption, control equipment remotely, and receive alerts for power anomalies, significantly improving data center efficiency and uptime.
Q: How do C13 and C19 outlets benefit data center installations?
A: The C13 and C19 outlet configuration provides versatility for connecting different types of equipment. C13 outlets support standard server power cords and networking equipment, while C19 outlets accommodate higher-power devices like blade servers and storage systems. This vertical power distribution unit eliminates the need for multiple PDUs by supporting diverse power requirements in a single unit.
Q: What monitoring capabilities does this PDU provide?
A: This monitored power distribution unit provides comprehensive monitoring including real-time power consumption per outlet, voltage monitoring, current measurement, and power factor tracking. The web-based interface allows administrators to view historical data, set alarms, and generate reports. Remote power management capabilities include individual outlet switching, scheduled power cycling, and sequential startup control.
Q: How does vertical mounting benefit rack installations?
A: Vertical rack mount installation maximizes valuable horizontal rack space by mounting the PDU vertically along the side of the rack. This vertical power distribution approach provides easy cable management, reduces rack congestion, and allows for more efficient airflow while maintaining full access to all outlets and monitoring features.
