Warning.
• On Warning: Users cannot apply power to an outlet on the selected phase or bank if the current
for that phase or bank has exceeded the Near Overload Warning threshold.
• On Overload: Users cannot apply power to an outlet on the selected phase or bank if the current
for that phase or bank has exceeded the Overload Alarm threshold.
To set Overload Outlet Restrictions:
1. Click the Device Manager tab, then phase load or bank load from the Load Management
menu.
2. Make selections for Overload Outlet Restriction.
3. Click Apply.
Configure and Control Outlet Groups
Outlet group terminology
An outlet group consists of outlets that are logically linked together on the same Rack PDU. Outlets that
are in an outlet group turn on, turn off, and reboot in a synchronized manner:
• A local outlet group consists of two or more outlets on a Rack PDU. Only the outlets in that group
are synchronized.
• A global outlet group consists of one or more outlets on a Rack PDU. One outlet is configured as
a global outlet, which logically links the outlet group to outlet groups on up to three other Rack
PDUs. All outlets in the linked global outlet groups are synchronized.
– For global outlet groups, the initiator outlet group is the group that issued the action.
– For global outlet groups, a follower outlet group is any other outlet group that is synchronized
with the initiator outlet group.
When you apply an outlet control action to outlets that are members of an outlet group, the outlets are
synchronized as follows:
• For a global outlet group, use the delay periods and reboot duration configured for the global
outlet of the initiator outlet group.
• For a local outlet group, the outlets use the delay periods and reboot duration of the lowest-
numbered outlet in the group.
