1.2 Overview
Meeting All Your Power Needs via IP-based Power Outlets
PLANET IPM-4220/8220 is a 4-/8-port IP Power Management (IPM) device that provides the useful
function of managing power for any combination to connect with itself. With the innovative IP-based
technology, PLANET has made the traditional power management equipment into true networking
devices.
Intelligent Power Management
The IPM-4220/8220 offers 4/8 power outlets, each of which can be controlled or monitored individually
by the console or SNMP manager software or web interfaces. They allow users to access, configure,
and manage man y networking de vices at the same time from remote locations to save valuable time.
Electric Current Monitored on Display
The aggregate current draw per rack PDU is displayed on the unit via a digital display. The local digital
display helps installers avoid overloaded circuits by providing a visible warning when the current draw is
close to the maximum amperage draw of the strip.

Scheduled Power On/Off
The IP-based Switched Power Manager allows you to pre-define a power schedule for IT equipment. It
alerts users to an upcoming shutdown, and then waits a predefined amount of time to allow users to
finish their work and sign off.
Overload Protection
Securing you against the risk of getting the entire circuit cut off, commonly happened with ordinary
power distribution units (PDUs), when there is overloaded power, PLANET PDU, with a built-in circuit
breaker and reset switch, ensures the stability of power distribution among its equipment. Its 16-amp
circuit breaker prevents dangerous circuit overloads that could damage the equipment.

Energy and Cost Saving
You can also check the current energy consumption in your office within the configuration interface of
the IPM-4220/8220. It helps you reduce energy consumption, thus saving expenses on utilities.

2.2 Product Concatenation
If the controlled device and server have the function of redundant power, then shut-down of the device
requires power-off of both two power supplies. Therefore, product concatenation is provided to reach
the goal of power-on/off at the same time as two power supplies.
1. For concatenation of the two Switched IPM, please pay attention to the following notices:
- 20 -
Page 21
IP-based 4/8-port Switched Power Manager Power
IPM-4220 / IPM-8220
2. For the main power supply control of the Switched IPM, set the UART type as daisy chain.
3. For the secondary power supply control of the Switched IPM, set the UART type as API. The power
outlet of the main and secondary remote power control devices can be set to determine the power
outlet requiring concatenation.
2.3 Installation Precautions
Please set the maximum power-off protection allowed by power circuit as per the rated current
information indicated on the device with ref erence to the loca l state rules, safety proc edures and
disconnection or deviation.
The unit can only be connected to a grounded power outlet or system.
Make sure the total current output of all the connected systems is within the rated current indicated
on the device.
The test results of this device may be inaccurate giving unstable power supply.
Avoid using this device in places near water or moisture environments.
In order to avoid a fire hazard or risk of electric shock, do not expose the product to
rain or moisture.
- 21 -
Page 22
IP-based 4/8-port Switched Power Manager Power
IPM-4220 / IPM-8220
Use the attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer only.
Please avoid any items or liquids entering the device because their contact with dangerous voltage
points or short-circuit parts may cause a fire or electric shock.
2.4 Hardware Installation
The IPM-8220 provides a standard 19-inch rack for the installation of devices. Please use the rack
installation accessories attached with the product package (standard accessory for the IPM-8220). First
install the accessories to the device and then the device to the rack.
Please make sure all the units connected are powered off before the installation of
the device and take other necessary precautions during the installation.
