The Raritan Remote Power Control unit is a full-featured AC power management solution that provides an easy way to control
power of remote equipment. It provides system administrators with the capability to securely monitor and control power to data
center devices from any location via web browser, serial, or out-of-band access. From the office or from anywhere, the Remote
Power Control unit will power on, power off, or reboot remote equipment, as well as monitor current, voltage, power, and
temperature.
The Remote Power Control unit offers the ability to recover systems remotely in the event of system failure and/or system
lockup. It eliminates the need to perform manual intervention or dispatch field personnel, reduces downtime and mean time to
repair, and increases productivity.
There are three Remote Power Control models; model PCR8, a rack-mountable eight outlet model that operates at 115VAC, 15
Amps; model PCS12, a vertical-mount twelve-outlet model that operates at 115VAC, 20 amps; and model PCS20, a vertical-
mount twenty-outlet model that also operates at 115VAC, 20 amps.
