Introduction
Overview
ATEN has developed a new generation of green energy power distribution
units (PDUs) to effectively increase the efficiency of data center power usage
The NRGence PE6108AV / PE6208AV / PE8208AV eco PDUs are intelligent
PDUs that contain 8 AC outlets with a detachable front panel for convenient
rack mounting and are available in various IEC or NEMA socket
configurations.
They provide secure, centralized, intelligent, power management (power on,
off, cycle) of data center IT equipment (servers, storage systems, KVM
switches, network devices, serial data devices, etc.), as well as the ability to
monitor the center's health environment via sensors*. The basic characteristics
of each model are shown in the table on page 3.
NRGence eco PDUs offer remote power control combined with real-time
power measurement - allowing you to control and monitor the power status of
devices attached to the PDUs, either at the PDU and outlet level (PE8208AV)
or Bank level (PE6208AV), from practically any location via a TCP/IP
connection.
The power status of each outlet can be set individually, allowing users to switch
each device On/Off. The eco PDU also offers comprehensive power analysis
reports when used with the eco Sensors software which can separate
departments and locations, providing precise measurements of current,
voltage, power and watt-hour in a real-time display.
Installation and operation is fast and easy: plugging cables into their
appropriate ports and user-friendly browser-based configuration and
management is all that is entailed. Since the eco PDU firmware is upgradeable
over the Net, you can stay current with the latest functionality improvements
simply by downloading updates from our website as they become available.
NRGence eco PDU supports any 3rd party v3 SNMP Manager Software and
NRGence eco Sensors (eco PDU Manager Software). NRGence eco Sensors
provides you with an easy method for managing multiple devices, offering an
intuitive and user-friendly Graphical User Interface that allows you to
configure a PDU device and monitor power status of the equipment connected
to it.
