QUICK START GUIDE 3

Introduction

The BLACK BOX® Power View family of products provides easy, practical, and secure solutions for
power distribution and power management for remote internetworking equipment and branch AC circuits.

The Power View Enhanced PDU supports the elimination of unnecessary trips to remote locations by
allowing remote control of the power on/off status for distant critical equipment, minimizing the impact of
locked-up devices on mission-critical networks.

Features and Benefits

The Power View Enhanced PDU is available in an 8 outlet configuration for 100-120V AC for support
up to 20A. See Models in Appendix C: Technical Specifications.

Communication Access Modes

The Enhanced PDU is equipped standard with a Console RS-232 port and a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet
port for Telnet and in-band web browser (HTML) access.

Power Distribution & Remote Management

The Enhanced PDU distributes up to 20A AC power and offer individual remote control over the power
on/off status of up to 8 devices.

Load and Environment Measurement

The Enhanced PDU’s load measurement feature eliminates guesswork by supplying the cumulative
operating load in amperes. This allows administrators to maximize the equipment installed and
operated on a circuit without worry. Use of the circuit is maximized, while effectively allowing a 10%
to 20% safety margin.

Outlet Grouping

For operations across multiple attached devices or devices with multiple or redundant power supplies,
The Enhanced PDU’s outlets may be included in one or more named groups of outlets. Changes may
then be applied to all outlets in the named group with one easy command sequence.

User Interfaces and LEDs

The Enhanced PDU features two user interfaces: the HTML interface and the command line. For easy
recognition, both individual outlets and groups may be assigned descriptive names for use in control
commands. For the on-site technician, LEDs on the Enhanced PDU indicates power status for
individual outlets.

Security

The Enhanced PDU ships with one predefined administrative user account. The administrator may
create up to 128 user accounts, with individualized access to outlets and commands. All accounts
support username and password protection. For configurations requiring multiple fully-privileged
users, the Enhanced PDU allows the administrator to grant administrative privileges to other user
accounts in the system.

Automatic Timeout

For added security, a user session will be automatically terminated after five minutes of inactivity; if a
user is called away unexpectedly, an unprotected channel will not remain open indefinitely.

Safety Precautions

This section contains important safety and regulatory information that should be reviewed before
installing and using the Power View product. For input and output current ratings, see Power Ratings
in Appendix C: Technical Specifications.

Only for installation and use in a
Service Access Location in accordance
with the following installation and use
instructions.

This equipment is designed to be
installed on a dedicated circuit.

Dedicated circuit must have circuit
breaker or fuse protection.
Power Views have been designed
without a master circuit breaker or fuse
to avoid becoming a single point of
failure. It is the customer’s
responsibility to provide adequate
protection for the dedicated power
circuit. Protection of capacity equal to
the current rating of the Power View
must be provided and must meet all
applicable codes and regulations. In
North American, protection must have a
10,000A interrupt capacity.

The plug on the power supply cord
shall be installed near the equipment
and shall be easily accessible.

Always disconnect the power supply
cord before opening to avoid electrical
shock.

WARNING! High leakage current!
Earth connection is essential before
connecting supply!

Destiné à l'installation et l'utilisation
dans le cadre de Service Access
Location selon les instructions
d'installation et d'utilisation.

Cet équipement est conçu à être
installé sur un circuit spécialisé.

Le circuit spécialisé doit avoir un
disjoncteur ou une protection de
fusible. Power Views ont été conçus
sans disjoncteur général ni fusible pour
éviter que cela devient un seul endroit
de panne. C’est la responsabilité du
client de fournir une protection
adéquate pour le circuit-alimentation
spécialisé. Protection de capacité
équivalant à la puissance de
l'équipement, et respectant tous les
codes et normes applicables. Les
disjoncteurs ou fusibles destinés à
l'installation en Amérique du Nord
doivent avoir une capacité
d'interruption de 10.000 A.

La prise sur le cordon d’alimentation
sera installée près de l’équipement et
sera facilement disponible.

Toujours déconnecter le cordon
d’alimentation avant d’ouvrir pour
éviter un choque électrique.

ATTENTION ! Haut fuite très
possible ! Une connection de masse
est essentielle avant de connecter
l’alimentation !

Nur für Installation und Gebrauch an
Anschlusszugriffspunkten gemäß der
folgenden Installations- und
Gebrauchsanweisungen.

Diese Ausrüstung ist zur Installation in
einem festen Stromkreis vorgesehen.

Der feste Stromkreis muss mit einem
Schutzschalter oder einem
Sicherungsschutz versehen sein.
Ein Power Views verfügt über keinen
Hauptschutzschalter bzw. über keine
Sicherung, damit kein einzelner
Fehlerpunkt entstehen kann. Der
Kunde ist dafür verantwortlich, den
Stromkreis sachgemäß zu schützen.
Der Kapazitätsschutz entspricht der
aktuellen Stromstärke der Geräte und
muss alle relevanten Codes und
Bestimmungen erfüllen. Für Installation
in Nordamerika müssen Ausschalter
bzw. Sicherung über 10.000 A
Unterbrechungskapazität verfügen.

Der Stecker des Netzkabels muss in
der Nähe der Ausrüstung installiert
werden und leicht zugänglich sein.

Ziehen Sie vor dem Öffnen immer das
Netzkabel heraus, um die Gefahr eines
elektrischen Schlags zu vermeiden.

ACHTUNG! Hoher Verluststrom! Ein
Erdungsanschluss ist vor dem
Einschalten der Stromzufuhr
erforderlich!
