Did you know?
All Hewlett Packard Enterprise options
are automatically covered when you
purchase HPE ProLiant Foundation Care
for your HPE ProLiant Ser ver, reducing
both total cost of ownership (TCO) and
the risk of system downtime.
Step 1: Choose HPE
Qualified PDU Options
Security threats are getting smarter.
Operating costs are getting higher. The
intelligent datacenter infrastructure of the
future will evolve to be more secure, flexible,
and easily maintained to help you stay a
step ahead. As part of the complete HPE
datacenter solution, HPE Rack & Power
Infrastructure’s next generation of products
was born to meet these needs and exceed
expectation as we lead the industry toward a
smarter, stronger, simpler datacenter.
Secure, intelligent, and flexible power
distribution is foundational to a safer and
more eicient datacenter. Across a variety
of workloads, our Standard, Advanced and
Enterprise PDU solutions get power where it
needs to go, when it needs to get there—and
give you the data you need to make informed
management decisions along the way.
Our next-generation PDUs are designed to
be smarter, to get power where you need it
to go—and keep it there. Innovative features
like optional dual-locking power cords secure
the PDU to both power source and device,
protecting against disconnection—accidental
or intentional.
Our next-generation PDUs are designed to
be simpler, with a wide range of mounting
options to fit every application. Power where
you need it, plus more room for compute, and
the highest-density PDUs on market means
more power and less headache for even the
most demanding compute applications.
Our next-generation PDUs are designed
to be stronger, with a 3-year warranty, and
power continuity and maintained performance
at elevated temperatures like a 60-degree
centigrade operating temperature for more
performance and less cooling costs.
Now let’s see which PDU is right for you…
Step 2: Choose the HPE Power
Distribution Unit that makes the
most sense for your data center
Today’s rack-mounted data center equipment
packs more density—more processing, storage,
and throughput capacity—into smaller chassis
sizes than ever. Rack power distribution units
(PDUs) are an eective way to deliver the
required power without taking up valuable rack
space, and get visibility into power conditions
at any time.
HPE PDUs fall into four categories. Start by
picking the one that makes the most sense
for your needs, then review the technical
specifications on the following pages to refine
your choice.
HPE Basic PDUs: simple, reliable power
distribution for cost-sensitive environments
• 5-year warranty. Quality, guaranteed.
Premium materials and robust construction
guarantee power continuity and maintained
performance at elevated temperatures
ASHRAE-certified 60-degree centigrade
operating temperature
• Provides simple installation, reliability, and
cost-eective power distribution
• Meets the demands of high-temperature
operating environments
• Oers additional mounting options with
outlets facing the front or back of rack,
which keeps the PDU out of the critical
rear maintenance area used to service
IT equipment
All Metered, Switched, and Metered and
Switched PDUs feature:
• Provides power monitoring with +/-.
• 1 percent billing grade accuracy.
• You get a compatible fit and reliable
operation backed by a 3 year warranty.
• HPE G2 PDUs are rated for operating
temperatures up to 60°C.

• Vertical, Horizontal, and True 0U mounting,
give you the flexibility to eiciently utilize
rack space while placing access to power
where you need it most in the rack.
• Serviceability enhancements include
color-coded outlets and low-profile form
factors, allowing for simple and quick
access to IT equipment and power cables
in the rear of the rack.
• 1 Gb Ethernet alleviates the need to
maintain older switch solutions.
• Support for up to eight sensors per PDU
provides a cost-eective and exhaustive
solution for monitoring the environmental
elements (temperature, humidity, and
leakage) in both the front and rear of the rack.
• IEC Locking Power Cords provide secure
cable retention to both the PDU and target
device, protecting against vibration during
shipping and ensuring that cables are not
dislodged during a service event.
HPE Metered PDUs: rack-level power
monitoring over the network
• Provides local and remote load segment
monitoring
HPE Switched PDUs: local and remote
switching at the outlet level
• Provides remote switching functionality at
each individual outlet
HPE Metered and Switched PDUs: local
and remote power management with
billing-grade accuracy
• Provides remote outlet monitoring and
switching functionality at each individual outlet
HPE Intelligent PDUs: state-of-the-art
management and control
• Meets the demands of high-temperature
operating environments
• Features remote management, which
provides power cycle ability of the individual
outlets on the intelligent extension bars
• Provides power monitoring at the core, load
segment, stick, and outlet with ±1 percent
billing grade accuracy
• Enables dense, rack-mountable form factors
to save valuable space in the rack
• Features HPE Power Discovery Services
(PDS), which enables servers, maps
them to the power source, verifies power
redundancy, and ensures everything is
hooked up correctly
