Introduction
Overview
The EC1000 Energy Box solution is the latest evolution of ATEN’s energy
intelligence product line NRGence™. The EC1000 monitors the electrical
current of 4 Energy PDU's, along with room temperature, humidity, and
differential pressure using environmental sensors. The Energy Box provides
instant real-time power management and energy-saving control for data
centers– allowing you to upgrade and maintain your current IT power
resources quickly and cost-effectively.
The EC1000 Energy Box has four RJ-45 ports to connect to four Energy PDUs
and four RJ-11 ports to connect external sensors to monitor environmental
conditions. Each environmental sensor can provide measured readings of
temperature, humidity, and differential pressure from separate areas of a room,
giving you a wide range of monitoring and protection.
The EC1000 features real-time status, system logs, threshold alerts, and event
notification. The Energy Box logs power and environmental conditions
according to customizable minimum/maximum thresholds set for; current,
temperature, humidity, and differential pressure.
The Energy Box allows the power and environmental data to be monitored by
display at the rack or remotely for easy viewing and maintenance. The Energy
Box is a standalone unit with over IP monitoring that is controlled by a builtin web GUI or ATEN's eco Sensors software.
Remote monitoring offers secure access with 128bits SSL encryption, and
customizable account policies for user management. Remote authentication
supports RADIUS and additional management interfaces including HTTP,
HTTPS, and SNMPv1&v2&v3 (Read, Write, Trap). Event notifications can be
monitored via Syslog/SMTP/SNMP trap and by audible alarm for real-time
local and remote alerting.
The NRGence™ EC1000 Energy Box is the intelligent cost effective solution
to monitor ATEN's Energy PDUs – to ensure safe and effective energy-saving
power management.

Chapter 1. Introduction
Optional Accessories
Sensors
Sensors are optional accessories. You can use the EC1000 Energy Box without
sensors. However, if you want to have complete energy management of your
data center with the full use of the EC1000 Energy Box, you would need to use
eco Sensors software and install 4 sensors for each of the racks to generate
more complete energy-efficient data and charts. Sensors help you maintain a
safe and highly efficient data center by monitoring environmental conditions.
Higher sensor density installations help to generate more accurate and precise
data. Available sensors are show in the table, below:
Sensor Part Number
Temperature EA1140
Temperature / Humidity EA1240
Differential Pressure / Temperature EA1340
Sensor Management
Sensors can be managed via the EC1000’s browser based graphical user
interface (GUI) or with NRGence™ eco Sensors software that can be
downloaded from the ATEN website. The download link can be found on the
software CD provided with the EC1000 package.

Installation
To set up your EC1000 Energy Box installation, refer to the installation
diagram on the next page (the numbers in the diagram correspond to the
numbered steps), and do the following:
1. Use a grounding wire to ground the Energy Box by connecting one end of
the wire to its grounding terminal, and the other end of the wire to a
suitable grounded object.
Note: Do not omit this step. Proper grounding helps to prevent damage to
the unit from surges or static electricity.
2. For each Energy PDU you want to connect, use an RJ-45 cable included
with the package to connect the Energy Box to the Energy PDU.
3. Plug the cable that connects the Energy Box to the LAN, into the LAN
port.
4. (Optional) If you are using environmental sensors with your Energy Box
installation, connect them to the rear environmental sensor ports, and see
Securing the Sensors, page 15 for sensor installation.
Note: Sensors are optional. Please see Optional Accessories, page 5.
5. Connect the power adapter to an AC power source.
