Learn how to install the power distribution unit (PDU) or power distribution unit plus (PDU+) vertically
in the side of a rack.
Using the IBM DPI Configuration Utility:
Learn how to use the IBM Distributed power interconnect (DPI) Configuration Utility to configure the
power distribution unit plus (PDU+) settings, such as the IP address, network parameters, access control
table, and trap receivers table.
Connecting the console:
You can configure the PDU+ by using a workstation or notebook computer that is connected to the
PDU+. Connect the DB9-to-RJ-45 cable that is shipped with the PDU+ to the RJ-45 console connector on
the PDU+, and to a RS-232 serial (COM) connector on a workstation or notebook computer.
Using HyperTerminal:
HyperTerminal is a terminal program in a Microsoft Windows operating system that enables you to
configure or control a device using command line parameters. You can configure the PDU+ parameters
and its outlets using numeric commands from a keyboard. You can also use Telnet or any other terminal
program to configure the PDU+ after the IP address is set.
To start HyperTerminal and communicate with the PDU+, complete the following steps:
