■ Arrange the equipment’s power cord in such a way that others won’t trip or fall over it.

■ If you are using a power cord that didn’t ship with the equipment, ensure that it is rated for the voltage and current

labelled on the equipment’s electrical ratings label. The voltage rating on the cord should be higher than the one listed
on the equipment’s ratings label.

■ Observe all precautions and warnings attached to the equipment.

■ If you don’t intend on using the equipment for a long time, disconnect it from the power outlet to prevent being dam

aged by transient over-voltage.

■ Keep all liquids away from the equipment to minimize the risk of accidental spillage. Liquid spilled on to the power

supply or on other hardware may cause damage, fi re or electrical shock.

■ Only qualifi ed service personnel should open the chassis. Opening it yourself could damage the equipment and invali

date its warranty.

■ If any part of the equipment becomes damaged or stops functioning, have it checked by qualifi ed service personnel.

What the warranty does not cover

< 1.5 > IP Dongle Installation & Connection

IP Dongle Access to 16 PDU Levels

Patented IP Dongle provides IP remote access to the PDUs by a true network IP address chain.
Only 1 x IP dongle allows access to max. 16 PDUs in daisy chain - which is a highly effi cient ap-
plication for saving not only the IP remote accessories cost, but also the true IP addresses re­quired on the PDU management.

Hot-Pluggable design facilitates the IP dongle installation. Simply integrate the IP Dongle to the
1st PDU, then the entire daisy chain group can be remote over IP. Hence, administrator can re­motely access all PDUs in the daisy chain group by one single IP via the IP Dongle.

IP dongle for vertical PDU

Model :
IPD-02-S ( with SNMP feature )

Vertical IP dongle installation steps :

- slide the IP dongle on the plate above the meter

- plug the RJ-45 connector of IP dongle into the LINK port of the 1st level PDU meter

- use the CAT. 5 / 6 cable to connect IP dongle to network device

The InfraPower Manager IPM-02 is a Windows based system to consolidate management of max.
240 PDUs via 15 IP dongles, using a simple web interface which monitors and controls the WS kWh
switched / W kWh Monitored PDUs in the data center. Authorized users have a secure control over
outlets to power ON / OFF at the managed device level. It also provides the detailed PDU, daily en­ergy consumption and event logged records, and sends alarm email once ampere & Temp. / Humid.
over the predefi ned alarm threshold.
Please fi nd the link below:

http://www.austin-hughes.com/support/software/infrapower/IPM-02.msi

4. Will the reset of IP dongle affect the power to the outlets?

No, the IP dongle operates on a separate circuit, so the power to the outlets will remain unchanged.

5. How can I replace a failed IP dongle?

As the IP dongle is hot swappable, without power disconnection, you can unplug the RJ45 connector
and slide out the failed IP dongle from the WS kWh switched / W kWh Monitored PDU. Then replace
a new one for the PDU and re-confi gure the IP address to fi t your network setting. ( Please refer to

PDU disconnection

1. GUI shows a certain level PDU disconnected
Step 1 - PDU power off ?
Check the PDU is power ON or not.

Step 2 - PDU level setting duplicated in the same PDU group ?

Check and make sure PDU level is unique and not duplicated in the same PDU group.
(Please refer to to user manual < 1.2 > display 9.1 for details)

2. GUI shows from a certain level PDU to the last one disconnected
Step 1 - Cable disconnected, loose or defective ?
Check the Cat. 5/6 cable connection to PDUs and network devices. Make sure the
connectors are fi rmly attached. And check if any defects on your cable or not. If yes,

replace a new one.

Unplug the Cat. 5/6 cable on the fi rst disconnected PDU, then plug it to the second
disconnected PDU to check if the problem caused by the fi rst disconnected PDU.

3. GUI shows the whole group of PDU(s) disconnected
Step 1 - Cable disconnected, loose or defective ?

Check the Cat. 5/6 cable connection to PDUs and network devices. Make sure the
connectors are fi rmly attached. And check if any defects on your cable or not. If yes,

replace a new one.

Step 2 - IP dongle failed ?
i. Check if the network setting of the IP dongle is correct or not. If duplicated IP address is in a

network, it may cause such problem.

ii. Disconnect the IP dongle from the network and try to direct connect the Cat. 5/6 cable from

IP dongle < LAN > port to a computer network port and use IP Setup utilities to check if the
IP dongle can be found or not. If it cannot be found, the IP dongle may be failed.

Step 3 - 1st level PDU failed ?
Move the IP dongle from 1st level PDU to 2nd level PDU to check if the problem caused by
