Figure 1.3: Example: Daisy-chained Cyclades IPDUs
Administrators can use the Web Manager to authorize users and configure ports for power
management. For information on how to configure power management and authorize users for
outlets, see Expert - Applications - IPDU Power Mgmt on page 36, Ports - Physical Ports - Power
Management on page 81 and Expert - Applications - PMD Configuration on page 42.
Authorized users can use the Web Manager to perform power management. For information on
how users manage power, see IPDU Power Management on page 21.
The ACS 5000 console server automatically recognizes and supports a Cyclades PM IPDU or
Avocent SPC device when the serial port to which the power device is connected has been
configured for power management.
Additional requirements for Server Technology IPDUs
For supported Server Technology IPDUs, the following additional requirements apply:
• The ACS 5000 console server must be managed by a DSView 3 server (DSView 3 software
version 3.4.1 or above).
• The needed power device license must be present, and the power device must be added to the
DSView 3 software.
The license is automatically downloaded from the DSView 3 server onto the ACS 5000 console
server, and then configuration and management can be performed either through the DSView
software or through the Web Manager.
