Chapter 2

Introduction

Overview

As part of its NRGence line, ATEN has developed a new generation of green energy power distribution units (eco PDUs) to effectively increase the efficiency of data center power usage. The NRGence PE7216r / PE7234r / PE8216r / PE8324r / PE9216r / PE9324r eco PDUs are intelligent PDUs that contain 16 or 24 AC outlets and are available in various IEC or NEMA socket configurations. Models in the advanced PE9 range feature a dedicated 8-outlet bank for critical load devices, as well as NRGence’s proactive overload protection, which automatically powers off the last outlet that caused the current overload.

NRGence eco PDUs 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, bank, or outlet level, depending on the model, 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 V1, V2, V3 SNMP Manager Software and NRGence eco Sensors (eco PDU Manager Software). eco Sensors provides you with an easy method for managing multiple devices, offering an intuitive and user-friendly Graphical User Interface that allows you

eco PDU PE Series User Manual

to configure a PDU device and monitor power status of the equipment connected to it.

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: 1. 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 8, for further information.

2. eco PDUs are primarily designed for access via Intranet; extra network security protection is suggested for Internet access usage.

3. Not all models support all features. See PE7216r / PE7234r / PE8216r / PE8324r / PE9216r / PE9324r Comparison Chart, page 3, and Specifications, page 96, for full details.

Hardware Setup

Before You Begin

Rack Mounting

The eco PDU can be mounted in a 0U configuration on the side of a rack. To rack mount the device, use the rack mounting brackets that came with your device. The brackets can be mounted either near the top and bottom of the back panel, or the top and bottom ends of the device, as shown in the diagram below:

eco PDU PE Series User Manual

Floor

PDU Placement

For safety reasons the eco PDU should not be installed with the power sockets facing directly up or down, and thus should only be installed with the power sockets facing out from a vertical position as shown below:

Right.

Wrong

Note: The eco PDU models shown in the diagrams are for rack mount

reference purposes only.

Chapter 3. Hardware Setup

Single Stage Installation

In a single stage installation, there are no additional eco PDU stations daisy chained down from the first unit. To set up your single stage 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. Ensure that the eco PDU unit is properly grounded.

Note: Do not omit this step. Proper grounding helps to prevent damage to

the unit from surges of static or 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. Use ATEN Lok-U-Plug cable holders to secure them.

Note: See Securing the Cables, page 20, for details.

3. Plug the cable that connects the eco PDU to the LAN into the eco PDU's LAN port.

4. (Optional) If you are using sensors in your eco PDU installation, connect them to the sensor ports on the unit’s front panel.

Note: Sensors are optional. Please see Optional Accessories, page 8, and

the installation diagrams later in this chapter for further information.

5. (Optional) To connect a modem, use Cat 5e cable to connect the unit’s Modem port to the SA0142 (DCE) adapter supplied with the package. Connect the adapter’s serial connector to the modem’s DB-9 port.

6. (Optional) To connect a digital output device, wire it to this two-pin terminal.

7. Depending on your model, connect the eco PDU's built-in power cord to an AC power source, or use the power cord provided to connect the eco PDU’s power socket to an AC power source.

Once you have finished these installation steps, you can turn on the eco PDU and the connected devices.

Daisy Chaining

To manage even more outlets from the same single session as a standalone eco PDU, additional units can be daisy chained, as described in the following configuration.

Note: The maximum distance between any two units must not exceed 15 m;

the total distance from the first station to the last must not exceed 100 m.

eco PDU to eco PDU

Up to 5 additional eco PDU stations can be daisy chained down from the top level (master) device – allowing up to 120 outlets to be managed on a complete installation. To daisy chain an eco PDU, do the following:

1. Set the RS-232/RS-485 switch (see page 14), of the child device to the RS232 setting.

2. Use Cat 5e cable to connect the PON OUT port of the parent device to the PON IN port of the child device.

3. Repeat the procedure for any additional devices you wish to connect.
