Chapter 1.Introduction
The switched and monitored 1U PDU products enable you to connect up to nine C19 devices or up to 12
C13 devices (depending on the PDU model) and an additional three C13 peripheral devices to a single
dedicated power source. The PDUs have power monitoring capabilities.
The following PDU models are available:
• 46M4002 - 1U 9 C19 / 3 C13 Switched and Monitored DPI PDU (with removable power cord)
• 46M4003 - 1U 9 C19 / 3 C13 Switched and Monitored 60 A 3 Phase PDU (with attached power cord)
• 46M4004 - 1U 12 C13 Switched and Monitored DPI PDU (with removable power cord)
• 46M4005 - 1U 12 C13 Switched and Monitored 60 A 3 Phase PDU (with attached power cord)
The IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager product can monitor and control the PDUs. Active Energy
Manager is an IBM Systems Director plug-in that measures and reports server power consumption as it
occurs. Active Energy Manager includes a feature to associate IBM Systems Director managed resources
with the power outlets on the PDUs. This enables you to know how much power each server is consuming
and which servers will be affected by any PDU outages. You can use the graphing capability of Active Energy
Manager to show a trending line for power that is being drawn by the outlets of the PDU models, showing
which systems are connected to them.
Active Energy Manager also enables you to show a trending line for the temperature of the PDU and the
temperature that is measured by the environment sensor. In addition to monitoring, Active Energy Manager
can control power of the individual outlets. From a central location, Active Energy Manager can power off or
power on the outlets. This enables an administrator to prevent someone from connecting additional
equipment into unused outlets, thereby making it easier to control power consumption within a rack. Active
Energy Manager can also shut down outlets in an emergency situation.
If firmware and documentation updates are available, you can download them from the Lenovo website. The
PDU might have features that are not described in the documentation that comes with the PDU, and the
documentation might be updated occasionally to include information about those features, or technical
updates might be available to provide additional information that is not included in the PDU documentation.

Load balancing
The internal circuits of some PDUs might be overloaded if you are not aware of the circuit breaker
specifications and how the PDU outlets are connected. If loads are greater than the specification of the
circuit breaker, it will trip and turn off the load.
There are either six or nine circuit breakers on the front of the PDU, depending on the model. Each circuit
breaker is rated for 20 amps. When you connect loads, make sure that the rating for each circuit breaker is
not exceeded.
Some PDUs can be connected to three-phase power. The loads should be distributed across all three
phases. If single-phase power is used, it also is important to distribute the load between the outlet groups.
The PDU models with 12 C13 outlets on the front have phase one connected to the first 4 outlets, outlet
group one. Phase two is connected to the next 4 outlets, outlet group two and phase three are connected to
the last 4 outlets, outlet group three (see the following illustration).

group one. Phase 2 is connected to the next three (3) outlets, outlet group two. Phase 3 is connected to the
last 3 outlets, outlet group three (see the following illustration).
Some models have 3 outlets on the rear of the PDU. These outlets are not monitored or switched. Each
outlet is connected to a different phase.
To balance loads on the PDU, do not connect loads so that there is more load on one group of outlets than
others. For example, if there are three loads on a 9-outlet PDU, do not use outlets 1, 2, or 3; use outlets 1, 4,
and 7.
If there are three loads on a 12-outlet PDU, use outlets 1, 5, and 9. If there are more then 3 loads, distribute
them across the three output groups.
