Frequently Asked Questions
What is an outlet metered and switched PDU used for?
An outlet metered and switched PDU provides individual power monitoring and remote on/off control for each connected device. This enables data center operators to track power consumption per outlet, identify power-hungry equipment, and remotely reboot devices without physical access—critical for managing high-density server environments and reducing operational costs.
How many devices can the PX4-5524R-E8 support?
The PX4-5524R-E8 features 24 outlets (mix of IEC C13 and CX) and delivers 8.6kVA at 208V three-phase, supporting multiple servers, switches, and networking equipment simultaneously. Its cascading capability allows up to 32 PDUs to be managed together for large-scale infrastructure.
Can I manage this PDU remotely?
Yes. The Raritan PX4-5524R-E8 includes a hot-swappable network controller with embedded processing power, enabling remote power monitoring, outlet-level metering data, and remote switching of individual outlets through a network interface—ideal for distributed data center management.
What makes the hot-swappable controller beneficial?
The hot-swappable controller design allows you to replace or upgrade the management module without powering down the PDU or connected equipment, minimizing downtime and ensuring continuous power distribution to critical systems during maintenance.
