4 RPC BDM™ (OPTIONAL)
The RPC BDM is a small monitoring device that displays data from an Vertiv™ MPH2™, MPX™ or MPH™ unit through a
connection to an RPC2 communications module. The BDM device provides another way to browse PDU data using the PDU
Explorer and Device Explorer, as in the web interface. Views shown by the RPC BDM are essentially the same as those
shown by the MPH2's onboard LCD.
NOTE: The RPC BDM is a read-only display that can be used to view data but not to control or configure devices.
To perform control and configuration functions, use the web or SNMP interface. The display unit, which can be carried as a
handheld device or mounted on a wall or in the rack, permits users to:
• View monitoring data
• Identify the load of PDU input lines, branch circuit breakers and receptacles (varies by model)
• Identify the load of PDU devices using the user-assigned label
• View Liebert® SN™ sensor readings for areas monitored by connected sensors
• Identify the IP address and MAC address of the PDU
• Browse user-assigned receptacle labels to view parametric information
• View the active events list
• Balance PDU line loads
