Introduction
Product Features
The Dell ® Managed Rack Power Distribution Unit (PDU) is a stand-alone, network-
manageable power distribution device. The Rack PDU provides real-time remote
monitoring of connected loads. User-defined alarms warn of potential circuit overloads.
The Rack PDU provides full control over outlets through remote commands and user
interface settings.
You can manage a Rack PDU through its Web interface, its command line interface
(CLI), or Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP):
• Access the Web interface using Hypertext Transfer Protocol or using secure HTTP
(HTTPS) with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). See Logging On to the Web Interface .
• Access the command line interface through a serial connection, Telnet, or Secure
Shell (SSH). See About the Command Line Interface .
• Use an SNMP browser and the Dell Management Information Base (MIB) to manage
your Rack PDU.
Rack PDUs have these additional features:
• Peak load, and power and energy monitoring for all connected loads.
• Voltage, current, and power monitoring for phases.
• Power monitoring for each outlet.
• Configurable alarm thresholds that provide network and visual alarms to help avoid
overloaded circuits.
• Four levels of user access accounts: Administrator, Device User,
Read-Only User, and Outlet User.
• Independent outlet control.
• Configurable power delays.
