Manually Changing the Active CDU
Normally the system is in Automatic switch-over mode and the system 
controls which CDU is active. The active CDU is indicated in the Server 
status column with the text "Active" and the automatic switch-over mode 
with the text "Automatic" in the Switchover mode column. For 
information on server statuses, see Table 19 on page 53.
However, you can manually change the active CDU by doing the 
following:
1. In the System Status panel, click the Switch CDU button. 
2. A message informs you of the change that you are about to make. 
Confirm by clicking the OK button. 
Depending on the current switch-over mode, note the following:
CAUTION
If the Switchover mode is "Manual" and the active CDU encounters 
problems, the system does not automatically switch over to the properly 
functioning CDU. It is your responsibility to monitor the situation and 
make sure that a faulty CDU is not the active one. 
CAUTION
If the Switchover mode is "Automatic", the system can override your 
CDU selection and change the active CDU again when switch-over 
conditions occur. If you want to keep your CDU selection regardless of 
the situation, change the switch-over mode to "Manual" first; see section 
Changing the Switch-over Mode to Manual on page 70.
