Checking PDU Indicators

The PMC power/status and identification indicators lights to indicate an

error condition.

• Power/status indicator blinks amber (about 1 Hz) to indicate an error

condition.

• Identification indicator blinks blue (about 1 Hz).

Resetting the PDU Network Connection

By default, the PMC is configured to automatically obtain an IP address via

DHCP server.

1 Do three short presses of the reset button within 5 seconds to change the

DHCP IP address on the PMC over to a static IP address.
After the PMC resets, all network and configuration settings restore back

to their default values. The PMC is configured with the following default

network settings:
• IP address: 192.168.0.120
• Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
• Gateway: 192.168.0.1
The power/status indicator on the front of the PMC board displays the

following behaviors:
• Blinking amber (500 ms off/5 s on) — Restarts the PMC firmware and

reset to factory default is completed.

• Blinking amber (250 ms off/5 s on) — Restores the default network

settings to their default values.

2 Do three short presses of the reset button within 5 seconds again to switch

static IP back to reset to default (DHCP).
