Introduction

Overview

The EC1000 / EC2004 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 EC2004 has 4 ports to monitor the electrical current of two PDUs and the electrical current + voltage of two additional PDUs; and monitors room temperature, humidity and differential pressure using four environmental sensors, plus a 4-pin dry contact Rack Door Sensor port for external sensors to monitor rack door access. Both Energy Boxes provide 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 / EC2004 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 / EC2004 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, voltage*, 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.

Optional Accessories

Sensors

Sensors are optional accessories. You can use the EC1000 / EC2004 Energy Box without sensors. However, if you want to have complete energy management of your data center with the full use of the EC1000 / EC2004 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

Door Sensor

The EC2004 features a 4-pin dry contact port for door sensors that support the monitoring of rack mount enclosure door access to notify users when a door has been opened. See the table below for information about the two available door sensors. Please contact your ATEN dealer for purchasing information:

Port Part Number Sensor

Door Sensor EA1440 Photo Sensor

EA1441 Inductive Proximity Sensor

Sensor Management

Sensors can be managed via the EC1000 / EC2004’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 / EC2004 package.

Hardware Setup

Rack Mounting

The EC1000 / EC2004 can be mounted in a 19” (1U) rack or in an 0U configuration mounted to the side of the rack. To rack mount the device, use the rack mounting brackets that came with your device. The brackets are screwed to the front, rear or middle sides of the device, depending on the installation type and then the unit can slide into the front of the rack, or mount to the side of the rack, as shown in the diagrams below:

Rack Mounting - Front

1. Use 3 M3 x 8 Phillips hex head screws supplied with the rack mounting kit to screw the rack mounting brackets into the sides near the front of the unit.

2. Position the unit in the front of the rack and align the holes in the mounting brackets with the holes in the rack.

EC1000 / EC2004 User Manual

3. Screw the mounting brackets to the rack.

Chapter 2. Hardware Setup

Rack Mounting - Rear

1. Use the M3 x 8 Phillips hex head screws supplied with the rack mounting kit to screw the rack mounting brackets into the sides near the rear of the unit.

2. Position the unit in the front of the rack and align the holes in the mounting brackets with the holes in the rack.

3. Screw the mounting brackets to the rack.

EC1000 / EC2004 User Manual

Rack Mounting - Side

1. Use 2 M3 x 8 Phillips hex head screws supplied with the rack mounting kit to screw the rack mounting brackets onto the sides at the middle of the unit.

2. Position the unit on the outer front of the rack and align the holes in the mounting brackets with the holes in the rack.

3. Screw the mounting brackets to the rack.

Chapter 2. Hardware Setup

Installation

To set up your EC1000 / EC2004 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 17 for sensor installation.

Note: Sensors are optional. Please see Optional Accessories, page 6.

5. (Optional) If you are using a door sensor with your installation, connect it

to the 4-pin dry sensor port on the unit’s rear panel (EC2004 only), and follow the installation instructions provided with the door sensor.

Note: See Door Sensor, page 6, for further information

6. Connect the power adapter to an AC power source.

Securing the Sensors

Connect the sensors to the EC1000 Energy Box’s rear environmental sensor ports and secure them using sensor mounts, tie wraps, and adhesive cable tie holders. If you use a tie wrap to secure the sensor, tighten the tie wrap over the recessed channel on the sensor, as shown in the following diagram:

Note: 1. The sensors shown in the above diagram are for reference purposes

only. The sensors for the EC1000 / EC2004 may look slightly different.

2. Depending on the model and type of sensor, sensor mounts, tie wraps, and adhesive cable tie holders may or may not be provided in the package.

Front Panel Operation

Overview

The EC1000 / EC2004 Energy Box displays real-time energy, environment, and IP information locally via the front panel display, for monitoring at the rack. This chapter discusses the front panel operation and monitoring.

Detailed management is done remotely over a standard TCP/IP connection via graphical user interface (GUI) using a web browser or by ATEN's eco Sensor software. Over-IP operation is discussed in Chapter 4, EC1000 Browser Operation, and Chapter 5, EC2004 Browser Operation.

Front Panel Operation

The EC1000 / EC2004 front panel display is controlled by the Select pushbutton. The Select pushbutton cycles through the energy ports, environmental ports, and IP Address in order, displaying relevant information for each selection in the Port LED, and Data LED displays.

The Port LED displays the port (1-4) you are viewing for each selection type: Energy, Environment, or IP Address.

The Data LED displays relevant information about the port you are viewing. The table on the next page explains the different information displayed for each section.
