The APC® Switched Rack Power Distribution Unit (PDU) is a stand-alone, network-manageable device that allows programmable control of eight, sixteen, or twenty-four power outlets (depending on the model).
You can control a PDU remotely through its Web, control console (serial or telnet), or SNMP interfaces.
PDUs have these additional features:
•Independent outlet control
•Power sequencing
•24 independent Outlet User accounts
•Three levels of user access accounts:
–Administrator
–Device Manager
–Outlet User
•Event Log accessible by Telnet, FTP, serial connection, or a Web browser
•E-mail notifications for PDU events and system events
•SNMP traps and e-mail notifications based on the severity level of PDU and system events
•Basic and MD5 authentication for password security
1
USER’S GUIDE switched rack pdu
®
The PDU does not provide power protection. Therefore, APC does not recommend plugging a unit directly into any unprotected power source, such as a wall outlet.
Initial setup
You must define three TCP/IP settings for the Switched Rack PDU before it can operate on the network.
•IP address of the PDU
•Subnet mask
•IP address of the default gateway
To configure the TCP/IP settings, see the Switched Rack PDU Installation and Quick Start Manual, provided in PDF on the APC Switched Rack Power Distribution Unit Utility CD and in printed form.
2
USER’S GUIDE switched rack pdu
®
The PDU has two internal interfaces (control console and Web interface) which provide menus with options that allow you to manage the PDU. The SNMP interface also allows you to use an SNMP browser with the PowerNet® Management Information Base (MIB) to manage the PDU.
For more information about the internal user interfaces, see Control Console and Web Interface. To use the PowerNet MIB with an SNMP browser, see the PowerNet® SNMP Management Information Base (MIB) Reference Guide
(\doc\mibgde.pdf),which is provided on the APC Switched Rack Power Distribution Unit Utility CD.
Only one user at a time can log on to the PDU to use its internal user interface features. The priority for access is as follows:
•Local access to the control console from a computer with a direct serial connection to the PDU always has the highest priority.
•Telnet access to the control console from a remote computer has priority over Web access.
•Web access has the lowest priority.
3
USER’S GUIDE switched rack pdu
®
The PDU has three levels of access (Administrator, Device Manager, and Outlet user), all of which are protected by password and user name requirements.
•An Administrator can use all of the management menus available in the control console and the Web interface. The Administrator’s default user name and password are both apc.
•A Device Manager can use only the following menus (the default user name is device and the password is apc):
–the Device Manager menu and its sub-menus in the control console, and all menus in the top section of the navigation panel of the Web Interface (Switched Rack PDU and Outlets)
–the Log option in the Events menu in the Web interface (A Device Manager can also access the event log in the control console by pressing CTRL-L.)
•An Outlet User can access only the following menus:
–the Control option of the Outlets menu on the web interface
–the Device Manager menu and the Phase Monitor, Outlet Control, and Power Supply Status sub-menus in the control console
To set the Administrator, Device Manager, or Outlet user
User Name and Password settings, see User Manager or
Outlet Manager.

You can use a local computer that connects to the PDU through the serial port on the front panel of the unit.
1.Select a serial port at the local computer, and disable any service which uses that port.
2.Use the supplied serial cable (940-0144) to connect the selected port to the RJ-12 serial port on the front panel of the PDU.
3.Run a terminal program (such as HyperTerminal) and configure the selected port for 9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control. Save the changes.
4.Press ENTER twice to display the User Name prompt.
5.Press the Reset button on the Switched Rack PDU, which causes the Switched Rack PDU to restart, a process that typically takes approximately 15 seconds.
6.Press ENTER as many times as necessary to redisplay the User Name prompt, then use apc for the user name and password. (If you take longer than 30 seconds to log on after the User Name prompt is redisplayed, you must start the login procedure again at step 4.)
7.From the Control Console menu, select System, then User Manager.
8.Select Administrator, and change the User Name and Password settings, both of which are now defined as apc.
9.Press CTRL-C and log off.
Reconnect any cable that you disconnected in step 2 and restart any service that you disabled in step 1.

USER’S GUIDE switched rack pdu

To detect internal problems and recover from unanticipated inputs, the PDU uses internal, system-wide watchdog mechanisms. When it restarts itself to recover from an internal problem, a System: Warmstart event is recorded in the Event Log.
The PDU implements internal watchdog mechanisms to protect itself from becoming inaccessible over the network. For example, if the PDU does not receive any network traffic for 9.5 minutes (either direct traffic, such as SNMP, or broadcast traffic, such as an Address Resolution Protocol [ARP] request), it assumes that there is a problem with its network interface and restarts itself.
To ensure that the PDU does not restart if the network is quiet for 9.5 minutes, the PDU attempts to contact the Default Gateway every 4.5 minutes. If the gateway is present, it responds to the PDU, and that response restarts the 9.5-minute timer. If your application does not require or have a gateway, specify the IP address of a computer that is running on the network most of the time and is on the same subnet. The network traffic of that computer will restart the 9.5-minute timer frequently enough to prevent the PDU from restarting.

If the error “You are not authorized to view this page” occurs (Internet Explorer only), someone is logged on to the Web interface or control console. If the error “No Response” (Netscape) or “This page cannot be displayed” (Internet Explorer) occurs, Web access may be disabled, or the PDU may use a non-default Web-server port that you did not specify correctly in the address.
For more information, see FTP Server, and Telnet & Web options.
•For a DNS name of Web1, the entry would be: http://Web1
•For a System IP address of 158.205.12.114, when the PDU uses the default port (80) at the Web server, the entry would be:
http://158.205.12.114
•For a System IP address of 158.205.12.114, when the PDU uses a non-default port (5000, in this example) at the Web server, the entry would be:
http://158.205.12.114:5000
For Internet Explorer, you must type http:// as part of the address when any port other than 80 is used. Omitting http://causes the error “This page cannot be displayed.” For more information, see FTP Server, and Telnet & Web options.
