150kW InfraStruXure PDU—Operation and Configuration 37
Configuring the Network Management
Interface
Connect the InfraStruXure PDU to your network
1. Connect a Cat-5 network cable to the surge-protected ethernet port on the PDU user connection
plate.
You can make connections from
inside the enclosure, or you can
remove the user connection plate
and make your connections.
Remove the plate using a Phillips
or standard screw driver to loosen
the two captive screws. Use the
knockout in the plate to route
cables to and from the user
connections on the plate. If you
remove the plate, make sure that you do not disturb the existing connections.
2. Run the connected Cat-5 network cable through the knockout in the user connection plate to
your network connection.
3. Configure the TCP/IP settings of the InfraStruXure PDU. See “Configuration Overview” on
this page for further instructions.
Configuration Overview
You must configure the following TCP/IP settings before the InfraStruXure PDU can operate on a
network:
• IP address of the InfraStruXure PDU
• Subnet mask
• Default gateway
Note
If a default gateway is unavailable, use the IP address of a computer that is located
on the same subnet as the InfraStruXure PDU and that is usually running. The
InfraStruXure PDU uses the default gateway to test the network when traffic is very
light. See “Watchdog Features” in the “Introduction” of the InfraStruXure Power
Distribution Unit’s online Network Management User’s Guide for more
information about the watchdog role of the default gateway.
