Connecting Intelligent Switched PDU to a PDU environment sensor
The PDU environment sensor that comes with the PDU has a built-in temperature and humidity sensor
and enables you to remotely monitor the temperature and humidity of the environment in which the PDU
is operating. Connect the PDU environment sensor to the environment sensor connector on the PDU.
About this task
The following illustration shows how to connect a PDU environment sensor to an Intelligent Switched
PDU.

Connecting output devices
The PDU power outlets are used to connect devices such as workstations, servers, and printers.
About this task
You can monitor the power status of a connected device either manually or remotely through the RS-232
and Ethernet connectors. Connect a device that you want to monitor to a power outlet on the PDU with
the power cord that comes with the device.
Setting up power monitoring using the PDU+
You can monitor the power status for any device that is connected to the power distribution unit plus
(PDU+), either manually or remotely, through the PDU+ web interface.
Note: All of the Conguration Utility conguration options are available through the web interface after
the PDU+ is set up on the local network.
For more information about installing the PDU or PDU+ into a rack, see “Installing the PDU, PDU+,
Intelligent Switched PDU, or Intelligent Switched PDU+ in the side of a rack” on page 53 or “Installing the
PDU, PDU+, Intelligent Switched PDU, or Intelligent Switched PDU+ horizontally in a rack” on page 57.
