Introduction
Overview
ATEN has developed a new generation of green energy power distribution
units (PDUs) to effectively increase the efficiency of data center power usage
The NRGence PE5108 / PE5208/ PE6108 / PE6208 / PE7108 / PE7208 /
PE8108 and PE8208 eco PDUs are intelligent PDUs that contain 8 AC outlets
and are available in various IEC or NEMA socket configurations.
They provide secure, centralized, intelligent, power management (power on,
off, cycle) of data center IT equipment (servers, storage systems, KVM
switches, network devices, serial data devices, etc.), as well as the ability to
monitor the center's health environment via sensors*. The basic characteristics
of each model are shown in the table on page 3.
NRGence eco PDUs offer remote power control combined with real-time
power measurement - allowing you to control and monitor the power status of
devices attached to the PDUs, either at the PDU device or outlet level, from
practically any location via a TCP/IP connection.
The power status of each outlet can be set individually, allowing users to switch
each device On/Off. The eco PDU also offers comprehensive power analysis
reports which can separate departments and locations, providing precise
measurements of current, voltage, power and watt-hour in a real-time display.
Installation and operation is fast and easy: plugging cables into their
appropriate ports and user-friendly browser-based configuration and
management is all that is entailed. Since the eco PDU firmware is upgradeable
over the Net, you can stay current with the latest functionality improvements
simply by downloading updates from our website as they become available.
NRGence eco PDU supports any 3rd party v3 SNMP Manager Software and
NRGence eco Sensors (eco PDU Manager Software). NRGence eco Sensors
provides you with an easy method for managing multiple devices, offering an
intuitive and user-friendly Graphical User Interface that allows you to
configure a PDU device and monitor power status of the equipment connected
to it.

This series of ATEN eco PDUs have a circuit breaker alert that can sound an
alarm and send SNMP trap or e-mail alerts when a trip occurs. This feature
provides a faster response time to recover servers and other devices when a
circuit overload causes a loss of power.
With its advanced security features and ease of operation, the eco PDU is the
most convenient, most reliable, and most cost effective way to remotely
manage power access for multiple computer installations and allocate power

Optional Accessories
Sensors
Sensors are optional accessories. You can use the eco PDU unit without
sensors. However, if you want to have complete energy management of an
instrumented data center with the use of the eco PDU, you would need to use
eco Sensors software and install 4 sensors for each of the racks to generate a
complete energy-efficient data and chart. Higher sensor installation density is
helpful to generate more accurate data. 8-port models have 2 sensor ports. In
this case, Sensor 1 needs to be installed at the intake of the rack and sensor 2
needs to be placed at the exhaust of IT equipment of the rack. A sensor-enabled
installation is required to generate a more complete energy-efficient data and
chart. Higher sensor installation density is helpful to generate more accurate
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 eco PDU’s built-in graphical user interface
(GUI) or with the 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 eco PDU package.
Cable Holders
Cable holders are optional accessories. For added safety, use ATEN Lok-UPlug cable holders to secure the cables from your attached devices in place on
the eco PDU unit. Use only the ATEN Lok-U-Plug cable holders that have
been specifically designed to work with the eco PDU. Using any other kind of
cable securing device could be highly dangerous.

To set up your eco PDU 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 eco PDU 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 device you want to connect, use its power cable to connect from
the device's AC socket to any available outlet on the eco PDU.
3. Plug the cable that connects the eco PDU to the LAN into the eco PDU's
LAN port.
4. If you are using sensors in your eco PDU installation, connect them to the
sensor ports on the unit’s rear side panel.
Note: Sensors are optional. Please see Optional Accessories, page 7, and
the detailed sensor installation diagrams later in this chapter for
further information.
5. Connect the eco PDU's power cord to an AC power source.
Note: We strongly advise that you do not plug the eco PDU into a multi
socket extension cord, since it may not receive enough amperage to
operate correctly.

Method
Use the drop-down menu to select one of the choices, below:
Wake on LAN: This is a Safe Shutdown and Restart option. If this
is selected, when an Outlet is turned Off, the eco PDU first sends
a message to the computer telling it to prepare for a shutdown; it
then waits for the amount time set in the Power Off Delay field to
give the OS time to close down before the computer is powered
down to standby mode.
Likewise, when the Outlet is turned On, the eco PDU waits for
the amount time set in the Power On Delay field, then sends an
Ethernet message to the computer connected to the Outlet
telling the computer to turn itself On.
Note: For Safe Shutdown and Restart, the computer must be running
Windows (98 or higher), or Linux, and the Safe Shutdown program
(available by download from our website), must be installed and running
on the computer.
System after AC Back: This is a Safe Shutdown and Restart
option. If this is selected, when an Outlet is turned Off, the eco
PDU first sends a message to the computer telling it to prepare
for a shutdown; it then waits for the amount time set in the Power
Off Delay field to give the OS time to close down before the
computer is powered down.
When the Outlet is turned On, the eco PDU waits for the amount
time set in the Power On Delay field, then sends power to the
server. When the server receives the power, it turns itself on.
Note: For Safe Shutdown and Reboot, the computer must be running
Windows (98 or higher), or Linux, and the Safe Shutdown program
(available by download from our website), must be installed and running
on the computer.
Kill the Power: If this option is selected, the eco PDU waits for the
amount time set in the Power Off Delay field, and then turns the
Outlet's power Off. Turning the power off performs a cold (nonsafe) shutdown.
MAC Address In order to use either of the Safe Shutdown and Restart methods
the MAC address of the computer connected to the outlet must be
filled in here.
When you have finished making your configuration settings, click Save.

functions.
Private Certificate
When logging in over a secure (SSL) connection, a signed certificate is used to
verify that the user is logging in to the intended site. For enhanced security, the
Private Certificate section allows you to use your own private encryption key
and signed certificate, rather than the default ATEN certificate.
There are two methods for establishing your private certificate: generating a
self-signed certificate; and importing a third-p a rty certificate authority (CA)
signed certificate.
Generating a Self-Signed Certificate
If you wish to create your own self-signed certificate, a free utility –
openssl.exe – is available for download over the web.
Obtaining a CA Signed SSL Server Certificate
For the greatest security, we recommend using a third party certificate
authority (CA) signed certificate. To obtain a third party signed certificate, go
to a CA (Certificate Authority) website to apply for an SSL certificate. After
the CA sends you the certificate and private encryption key, save them to a
convenient location on your computer.

IP Address Determination
If you are an administrator logging in for the first time, you need to access the
eco PDU in order to give it an IP address that users can connect to. There are
two methods to choose from. In each case, your client computer must be on the
same network segment as the eco PDU. After you have connected and logged
in you can give the device its fixed network address. (See Notification Settings,
page 37.)
Method 1:
For computers running Windows, an IP address can be determined and/or
assigned with the IP Installer utility. The utility can be obtained from the
Download area of our web site or from the software CD. Look under Driver/
SW, and the model of your device. After downloading the utility to your
computer, do the following:
1. Unzip the contents of IPInstaller.zip to a directory on your hard drive.
2. Go to the directory that you unzipped the IPInstaller program to and run
IPInstaller.exe. A dialog box similar to the one below appears:
68
(Continues on next page.)
Page 81
Appendix
(Continued from previous page.)
3. Select the device in the Device List.
Note: 1. If the list is empty, or your device doesn't appear, click
Enumerate to refresh the Device List.
2. If there is more than one device in the list, use the MAC address
to pick the one you want. The eco PDU's MAC address is located
on its bottom panel.
4. Select either Obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP), or Specify an
IP address. If you chose the latter , fill the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and
Gateway fields with the information appropriate to your network.
5. Click Set IP.
6. After the IP address shows up in the Device List, click Exit to end the
program.
Method 2:
1. Set your computer's IP address to 192.168.0.XXX
Where XXX represents any number or numbers except 60. (192.168.0.60) is
the default address of the eco PDU.)
2. Specify the device’s default IP address (192.168.0.60) in your browser,
and you will be able to connect.
3. Assign a fixed IP address for the device (see IPv4 Configuration, page 40),
that is suitable for the network segment that it resides on.
4. After you log out, reset your computer's IP address to its original value.
5. Once you have logged in, go to Network Settings to set up the permanent
IP environment (see IPv4 Configuration, page 40).
Method 3:
NRGence eco Sensors allows you to determine/assign an IP address in order to
configure a PDU device and monitor power status of the equipment connected
to it. NRGence eco Sensors can be obtained from the Download area of the
ATEN web site.
