2. General Overview
Independently controllable outlets
The iBoot-PDU series is designed to provide power distribution and
remote power control. Each iBoot-PDU allows four or eight outlets to
be independently switched on and off for reboot, energy management
and security. The iBoot-PDU has many features to make the
management of power distribution simple and cost effective.
Dual power inputs for redundant
power feeds (some models)
Models with dual inputs (-2N15, -2N20, -2C10, -2C20) have two A/C
Lines (mains). Each line powers four outlets Line A supports outlets
1-4 and Line B feeds 5-8. Dual power inlet models can be used to
support higher current devices, as each inlet can carry its rated load,
doubling the amperage of a single inlet device. Dual Inlet models can
also be used to source power from two redundant sources, with each
source feeding a power supply of a single device. Either Line can
support the electronics of the iBoot-PDU, adding additional reliability
in case of a single line failure.
Support for dual redundant powered
devices
In addition to two power sources, pairs of outlets can be grouped
together to allow simultaneous control. This allows a single command
to power down devices with dual redundant power supplies.
Simple web browser interface is easy to use and provides complete
status information and control of the outlets, and setup.
Free Cloud Service Included
All your PDUs and other iBoot power systems can be monitored and
controlled from a single web interface. Find, select and control one or
hundreds of locations with a single sign on.
Built-in 1G Ethernet Switch
Put iBoot-PDU on existing router ports and eliminate the need for
additional cabling and installation costs.
Telnet/Serial CLI control
Telnet and serial access use the same Command Line Interface (CLI)
structure and syntax to completely control and configure the iBoot-
PDU.
The PDU supports Dataprobe’s proprietary DxP protocol, making it
easy to integrate with other power and GPIO devices. A RESTful API
also allows easy integration into existing management systems.
Multiple users with assigned rights
and simultaneous control
Multiple users can be assigned administrator or user only rights, plus
access to specific outlets and groups. Users only see the outlets and
groups they are assigned to.
Grouping of outlets for simultaneous
management
Multiple outlets, across multiple iBoot-PDUs can be linked together in
named groups and managed together. This allows for example,
power cycling all devices of a certain type together.
Multiple iBoot-PDU
Cluster Configuration
Additional iBoot-PDUs can be managed from a single unit. One
master iBoot-PDU provides the communication to the users and
continuously receives status information from the rest of the iBoot-
PDUs in the cluster. Groups can be created across multiple PDUs
and controlled simultaneously.
