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 ALTUSEN PE6108 / PE6208 / 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.
ALTUSEN 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.
ALTUSEN eco PDU supports any 3rd party v3 SNMP Manager Software and
ALTUSEN eco Sensors (eco PDU Manager Software). ALTUSEN 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.

(Continued from previous page.)
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
resources in the most efficient way possible.
Note: Sensors are optional accessories. 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. See Optional Accessories, page 7, for further information.

Chapter 1. Introduction
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:
SensorPart Number
Temperature EA1140
Temperature / HumidityEA1240
Differential Pressure / TemperatureEA1340
Sensor Management
Sensors can be managed via the eco PDU’s built-in graphical user interface
(GUI) or with the ALTUSEN 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 LockYour-Plug cable holders to secure the cables from your attached devices in
place on the eco PDU unit. Use only the ATEN Lock-Your-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.
