Installing the HP Intelligent Power Distribution Unit 32
Connecting a host computer
Connect a serial cable between the PC serial connector on the Display Unit and the serial connector on a
host computer. This connection is used to configure and access the iPDU through a terminal emulation
program, as well as to upgrade the iPDU.
CAUTION: You cannot bypass the Display Unit and connect a host computer directly to the
iPDU. The host computer must be connected to the Display Unit to ensure proper
communication with the iPDU.
Checking the circuit breakers
If power to a device is interrupted, check the circuit breakers and reset if necessary. If power is still not
restored, contact your HP authorized service representative.
