• The left pane shows the menus and submenus for the PDU. Click a menu to display the menu
choices, expand the menu items, and modify the menu choices as required.
• The information in the right pane shows the status of the voltage, real power, amperes, apparent
power, power factor, and energy.
Each menu page provides online help to assist you with conguring the PDU. Click the question mark
(?) icon at the top of each page to view the help.
Power management relay setting
You can use the power management relay setting to turn each power outlet on or off by using the
software.
On the Setting of Relay page, you can change the relay setting. For the load segment and relay of the
power outlet for which you want to turn on or off, click Set to turn off the outlet or click Set again to turn
on the outlet.
Environment status and conguration
If a PDU environment sensor is connected to the PDU, you can view the temperature and humidity
information.
Viewing the status
On the Status of Environment Sensor page, you can view the temperature and humidity status from
the PDU environment sensor.
Changing the environment conguration settings
On the Conguration of Environment Sensor page, you can congure the temperature and humidity
threshold values for the PDU environment sensor that is connected to the PDU.
Modifying the basic settings
Use the System menu to congure the PDU system parameters such as the system name, password, IP
address, date, and time. Some of these settings are described in the following sections.
Changing the system information
On the Conguration of IBM PDU page, you can change the system name and location, SNMP
community, and history log interval, and you can restart the PDU.
Displaying SNMPv3 information
On the IBM SNMPv3 USM Setup page, you can set up the conguration for user proles of SNMPv3
USM related parameters. You can set up the user, authentication method, and privacy method.
Identifying the PDU
On the Identication of Power Management page, you can view the PDU information such as the part
number, serial number, and MAC address.
Note: You cannot modify the information on the Identication of Power Management page.
Changing the date and time
On the Date and Time page, you can change the date and time of the PDU. You can set the date and
time manually or synchronize it with the computer time.
Note: Changing the PDU date and time affects other PDU settings such as e-mail, traps, and logs.
Changing event alerts
If an event occurs within the PDU that triggers a trap, the trap information can be sent to a monitoring
application through SNMP. On the SNMP Trap Receivers page, you can specify the IP address of a
server on which a monitoring application is running.
Upgrading rmware
You can upgrade the PDU rmware on the Upgrade Firmware page. To update the rmware, type the
TFTP server IP address and the rmware image le name and click Upgrade.
Import conguration
You can import the conguration settings for the PDU on the Import Conguration page. The import
function updates the EEPROM of the PDU.
