About the Device Manager Tab
Path: Device Manager
Use the Device Manager tab to:
• View the load status for the Rack PDU
• Manage and control outlets
• Configure a name and location for the Rack PDU
• View and manage the peak load measurement
• Click user-configurable links to open web pages for specific devices connected to the Rack PDU
Viewing the Load Status and Peak Load
Path: Device Manager > Load Management options
The indicator in the green, yellow, and red meter shows the current load status: normal, near overload, or
overload. If a low load threshold was configured, the meter will include a blue segment to the left of the
green. When viewing the Device Load, the triangle above the meter indicates peak load.
Configuring Load Thresholds
Path: Device Manager > Load Management options
Note: The Rack PDU generates an alarm when any bank exceeds its rated value. However, if a circuit
breaker trips, there is no definitive indication that the circuit breaker is open, other than that the current
for that bank will drop. Set the Low Load Warning Threshold to 1 amp for these reasons:
• The default setting for the Low Load Warning Threshold is 0 amps. This effectively disables the
warning. With a setting of 0 amps for the Low Load Warning Threshold, the Web interface will
not indicate that a circuit breaker may have tripped.
• A 1-amp detection threshold for the Low Load Warning for Bank Load Management will help to
indicate that a circuit breaker may have tripped.
To configure load thresholds:
1. Click the Device Manager tab.
2. To configure load thresholds for the device, phases, or banks, make a selection from the Load
Management menu.
3. Set Overload Alarm, Near Overload Warning, and Low Load Warning thresholds.
4. Click Apply.
