Introduction
This installation, admini s trat ion and user’s guide provides back gro und information and procedures
for installing, configuring and maintaining the Cyclades
Power Distribution Unit (IPDU) family.
This guide offers procedures for a stand-alone configuration. If you are integrating your PM IPDU
with a Cyclades KVM or console management device, please see the related installation
instructions for that product.
The Cyclades PM IPDU enables remote power control of servers and network gear. When used in
conjunction with Cyclades console servers or KVM devices, the Cyclades PM IPDU delivers easier
management 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 in addition to
pointing out specific features of certain units.
Features and Benefits
The following sections describe common features among all Cyclades PM IPDU units.
Alarms and monitoring
The Cyclades 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 Cyclades PM IPDU to
sound an alarm or send a notification message, or both. The LED current display also blinks when
the alarm threshold is exceeded.
®
Power Management (PM) Intelligent
Sequential power up
The Cyclades PM IPDU incorporates a sequential power up feature that prevents all power outlet
receptacles from turning on at once, eliminating the potential of current surges tha t could render the
equipment inoperable. Together with the glob al current monitoring, the sequential power up feature
lets users safely install more equipment on existing power circuits without the worry of
current overloads.
2 Cyclades PM IPDU Installer/Administrator/User Guide
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 Cyclades PM IPDUs in
a series.
Creation of user accounts
The Cyclades PM IPDU allows one administrator and up to eight users (not simultaneously) to
connect to it through its RS-232 serial port. After a successful authentication, it performs the
following functions:
• Reads and displays the total current being used by the entire Cyclades PM IPDU
• Manages power outlets (by powering them up and down, locking and unlocking them and/or
power cycling them)
• Manages users
• Monitors power variables
• Can be used independently of any other hardware an d controlled by any s imple terminal access
program like Minicom on Linux or Hyper Terminal on Microsoft op erating syst ems
Integration with Cyclades management products
When used with the ACS advanced console server, the TS terminal server, the OnSite branch office
appliance or the KVM switch, the Cyclades PM IPDU offers a superior feature set that is not fully
covered in this manual. Please refer to the appropriate product documentation for more information
on how to use the Cyclades PM IPDU with your specific implementation.
Hardware Configuration Options
The Cyclades PM IPDU may be used in one of three hardware configurations:
• Standalone – Managed independently of any other hardware device.
• See Standalone configuration on page 2.
• Daisy chained - Multiple slave PM IPDUs connected to one another and managed by one
master PM IPDU. See Daisy chained configuration on page 3.
• Integrated – Managed by a Cyclades TS terminal server, Cyclades ACS advanced console
server, Cyclades OnSite branch o ff ice appliance, one of the Cyclades KVM switch pro ducts or
by any other console/terminal management devi ce. See Integrated configuration on page 4.
Standalone configuration
In a standalone configuration, the Cyclades PM IPDU operates independently of any other
hardware such as the TS terminal server or ACS console server. The following graphic displays a
PM IPDU with the console port connected to a computer running HyperTerminal, Kermit,
or Minicom.

NOTE: The previous graphic displays the PM IPDU being connected to the local work station with the RJ-45 to
DB-9F adaptor that is shipped with the product. If your work station does not have a DB-9M COM port, you may
need to use a USB serial adaptor in order to connect to the computer’s USB port.
For specific installation instructions, see Rack Mounting the Cyclades PM IPDU on page 16.
Daisy chained configuration
In a daisy chained configuration, multiple slave PM IPDUs are connected to one another and
managed by a single master PM IPDU. The PMs are linked together with RJ-45 cables connected
to one PM IPDU’s OUT port and the other PM IPDU’s IN port. This example shows four Cyclades
PM IPDUs operating in a daisy chained environment. PM IPDU #1 is connected to the local
workstation and is the “master” PM IPDU, while the other three PM IPDUs are “slaves.”

In an integrated configuration, the Cyclades PM IPDU is configured to work in conjunction with
one of the following Cyclades management products:
• Cyclades-TS terminal server
• Cyclades ACS console server
• Cyclades OnSite appliance
• Cyclades KVM switch family
A user connects to the Cyclades PM IPDU by accessing the appropriate console port of the
Cyclades management product. In this scenario, software configuration on and monitoring of the
Cyclades PM IPDU is done through the Cyclades management product and not on the PM IPDU

An integrated environment offers the following advantages:
• IT professionals may power down, power up, and reboot network devices using the same
console management session from any location via telnet, Secure Shell (SSHv2), or through a
secure web session. This may all be done without the need for ph ysical access to the hardware.
• Ethernet connection is available through the Cyclades management products to which the
Cyclades PM IPDU is connected. When used with Cyclades management products, the
Cyclades PM IPDU allows you, via a configurable hotkey, to reboot servers without leaving
your telnet/ssh se ssion.
• The Cyclades PM IPDU inherits the security of the console server to which it is connected.
Daisy chaining PM IPDUs with the Cyclades ACS console server or Cyclades TS terminal server is
similar to the daisy chained configuration as described in Daisy chained configuration on page 3;
6 Cyclades PM IPDU Installer/Administrator/User Guide
however, in the integrated configuration, the first Cyclades PM IPDU is connected to a Cyclades
management device instead of a workstation.
Accessing the System Console
Users and administrators may access the Cyclades PM IPDU either by making a direct console
connection to the PM IPDU’s IN port or by connecting the PM IPDU to a Cyclades console or
KVM switch management device.
Direct console access
While using the PM IPDU device independently of other Cyclades devices, local users may
connect directly to the system console port (the IN port) of the Cyclades PM IPDU using the
console cable with the corresponding adaptor(s).
For more information about connecting directly to the PM IPDU’s console, see Making a Direct
Connection for Console Access on page 20.
Console access through a management device
While integrating the PM IPDU device with a Cyclades console or KVM management device such
as the Cyclades ACS console server or the Cyclades OnSite, remote users may access the Cyclades
PM IPDU's console port through one of the following interfaces:
• Menu-driven interface - After using telnet or SSH to access the console port equivalent to the
managed device on the con so le s erver, type the power manag e ment hotkey (
to bring up a power management menu on the same screen.
• Web interface - Once you are logged into the management device web interface, access the
power management functionality by selecting a Power Management or IPDU Power
Management tab on the Web Manager.
Ctrl+P by default)
See Integration with Cyclades management products on page 2 for more background information
on integrating a PM IPDU with a Cyclades management device, or refer to the appropriate user
documentation for instructions on accessing the PM IPDU console through your specific Cyclades
management device.
