-
Power Sequencing: Customise the order in which equipment powers up or down to prevent circuit overloads (inrush current).
-
Precision Monitoring: Define your power thresholds and receive proactive alerts to prevent potential overloads before they occur.
-
Seamless Integration: Fully compatible with APC’s EcoStruxure IT and third-party SNMP management platforms.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is the difference between a Basic and a Switched PDU?
A basic PDU provides reliable power distribution only. A Switched PDU adds the ability to turn individual outlets on/off remotely and monitor power usage at the unit or outlet level.
2. Can I monitor this PDU over my existing network?
Yes, APC Switched PDUs include a built-in Network Management Card (NMC), allowing for full control via a web browser or network management system.
3. Is this PDU compatible with non-APC racks?
Absolutely. While optimized for NetShelter enclosures, these units follow standard EIA-310 dimensions and can be mounted in any standard 19-inch server rack.
