1.) Welcome
Introduction
The IP Power 9258 DS is a state of the art Power Distribution Unit (PDU) & Remote Power Control (RPC)
system. The 9258 DS can be used for various applications including: Power Management, Server
Management, Internet Controllable Timer, System Integration and much more.
This device allows you to control up to 8 separate devices via the internet. By using a web browser, you
can remotely control the power of the 9258 DS from virtually anywhere.
What makes this device different from other PDU’s is that it has a dual switch design.
Unlike other PDU or RPC units the 9258 DS is completely safe. The dual switch design cuts off the power
and will eliminate any most electrical threats that other systems may have.
