CHAPTER
Introduction
1
This installation, administration and user’s guide provides background information and procedures
for installing, configuring and maintaining the Cyclades
Power Distribution Unit (IPDU) family.
®
Power Management (PM) Intelligent
1
The Cyclades PM IPDU enables remote power control of servers and network gear. When used in
conjunction with DSR
capabilities and faster problem solving by integrating console/KVM access and power control into
one single interface.
The following sections describe general features common to all PM IPDU models and point out
specific features of certain units.
®
switches or console servers, the PM IPDU delivers easier management
Features and Benefits
Alarms and monitoring
The PM IPDU delivers accurate, real-time global current monitoring of all connected devices via
the user interface screen or locally through an LED digital display. Users have the ability to set a
current alarm threshold that, once exceeded, will cause the PM IPDU to sound an alarm or send a
notification message, or both.
Sequential power application
The PM IPDU incorporates a sequential power application feature that prevents all power outlet
receptacles from turning on at once, eliminating the potential of current surges that could render the
equipment inoperable. Together with the global current monitoring, the sequential power
application feature lets users safely install more equipment on existing power circuits without the
worry of current overloads.
Support for daisy chaining
The IPDU has a fixed number of power outlet receptacles, but with daisy chaining capabilities,
users may increase capacity by connecting the control interfaces of several PM IPDUs in a series.

Integration with Avocent management products
The PM IPDU can be combined with an ACS console server or DSR KVM switch to provide
enhanced functionality. Please refer to the appropriate product documentation for more information
on how to use the PM IPDU with your specific implementation.
Hardware Configuration Options
The PM IPDU may be used in one of three hardware configurations:
• Standalone – Managed independently of any other hardware device.
• Daisy chained - Multiple PM IPDUs connected to one another and managed by one main
PM IPDU.
• Integrated – Managed by a console server or a KVM switch.
Standalone configuration
In a standalone configuration, the PM IPDU operates independently of any other hardware. The
following graphic displays a PM IPDU with the console port connected to a computer running
terminal emulation.

2 RJ-45 Cable 5 Switch
3 IN Port 6 Power Source
pm_install_admin_user.book Page 3 Tuesday, March 24, 2009 3:02 PM
NOTE: The installation example displays the PM IPDU being connected with the RJ-45 to DB-9F adaptor that is
shipped with the product. If the unit you are connected to does not have a DB-9M COM port, you may use a USB
serial adaptor and connect to a USB port when possible.
Daisy chained configuration
In a daisy chained configuration, multiple PM IPDUs are connected to one another and managed by
a single main PM IPDU. The PMs are linked together with RJ-45 cables connected through the PM
IPDU’s IN and OUT ports. The following example shows three PM IPDUs operating in a daisy
chained environment. PM IPDU #1 is connected to the local workstation and is the “main”
PM IPDU.
Chapter 1: Introduction 3
Figure 1.2: Daisy Chained PM IPDUs with an Avocent Management Device
Integrated configuration
In an integrated configuration, the PM IPDU is configured to work in conjunction with an Avocent
management product.
A user connects to the PM IPDU by accessing the appropriate console port of the Avocent
management product. In this scenario, software configuration on and monitoring of the PM IPDU
is done through the Avocent management product and not on the PM IPDU itself. Visit
www.avocent.com for more information.

Getting Started
Collect the following equipment prior to installing and config uring the PM IPDU in
standalone configuration:
5
• One or more RJ-45 to RJ-45 straight-through cables
• An RJ-45 to DB-9F straight-through adaptor
• A PC running a terminal emulation program
Supplied with the PM IPDU

RJ-45 to RJ-45 7ft. straight through
CAT5 cable
RJ-45 to DB-9F straight-through adaptor Along with an RJ-45 cable, used to connect a terminal or PC to a
RJ-45 loopback connector Used to gain temporary access to the PM IPDU.
PM IPDU to DSR switch cable adaptor Used to connect a PM IPDU to an Avocent switch’s SPC port.
Used for the following:
Along with an adaptor, to connect a terminal or PC to the IN port.
To connect to a Cyclades console or KVM management device.
To connect to another PM IPDU in a daisy chain.
PC’s COM port.
Mounting brackets and screws (2 spares)
for PM10 IPDU and PM10i IPDU
Modular input power cables for the PM IPDU
If your PM IPDU model does not have a fixed power input cable, it may ship with a modular cable.
Depending on your site’s location, the modular in put power cables included in the box vary.
Use to mount the Cyclades PM10 IPDU and PM10i IPDU to a
rack or wall.

6 Cyclades PM IPDU Installer/Administrator/User Guide
NOTE: The Cyclades PM 10i-32Au IPDU ships with an unterminated power cord. If necessary, contact Avocent
Technical Support for guidelines on approved power plug installation.
Optional outlet cable package
The following cable packages may be ordered separately for the IEC PM IPDU models:
• 8-outlet cables (C13 female to C14 male)
• 10-outlet cables (C13 female to C14 male)
Rack Mounting the PM IPDU
You may mount the PM IPDU on a rack or wall or place it on a desktop or other flat surface. Two
brackets are supplied with six Phillips screws for attaching the brackets to the PM8i IPDU, the
PM10 IPDU and the PM10i IPDU for mounting.
If you are mounting the PM IPDU, obtain a Phillips screwdriver and appropriate nuts and bolts
before mounting the PM IPDU.
NOTE: When mounting a PM IPDU zero U model to a wall stud, securely mount it by using a #10 (4.8 mm or
0.19 in or 3/16 in) or larger screw or use a drywall fastener rated min. 25 lb. (11.34 kg).
The following graphic depicts the orientation of the brackets for front rack mounting a PM IPDU.

NOTE: Install a PM IPDU 0U model in a location where there is an adjacent and accessible socket outlet.
CAUTION: The plug on the power cord of the PM IPDU is used as the disconnect device.
If the PM IPDU is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the
operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater
than room ambient temperature. Therefore, consideration should be given
to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the
manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient temperature. See above.

overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of
equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing
this concern.
Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct
connections to the branch circuit, such as power strips or extension cords.
To mount the PM10 IPDU or PM10i IPDU:
1. Using a Phillips screwdriver, attach the supplied brackets to the sides of the PM IPDU.
2. Use the mounting hardware recommended for your rack to mount the PM IPDU.
