Power Management
Connected power devices can be used for remote power management. The console server
enables users who are authorized for power management to turn power on, turn power off and
reset devices that are plugged into a connected PDU.
The following types of power devices can be connected to any serial port or to the
AUX/Modem port (if an internal modem is not installed):
Avocent Power Management Power Distribution Unit (PM PDU).
Cyclades PM Intelligent Power Distribution Units (IPDUs) - With Cyclades PM IPDUs, up
to 128 outlets can be daisy-chained and managed from a single serial port.
Avocent SPC power control devices.
Server Technology Sentry™ family of Switched Cabinet Power Distribution Units (CDUs),
Smart Cabinet Power Distribution Units (Smart CDUs) and switched CDU Expansion
Module (CW/CX) power devices. One additional level of power devices can be daisy-
chained with ServerTech Expansion modules.
Server Technology Sentry Power Tower XL™ (PTXL) and Power Tower Expansion
Module (PTXM) power devices.
NOTE: ThetermPDUreferstoanyofthesetypesofpower devices.
The console server automatically recognizes and supports Avocent PM PDUs, Cyclades PM
IPDUs or Avocent SPC devices when the corresponding serial port is configured for power
management.
For supported Server Technology PDUs, the console server must be managed by a DSView 3
server (version 3.6.0.152 or greater), the needed power device license must be present and the
power device must be added to the DSView 3 software.
The license is automatically downloaded from the DSView 3 server onto the console server,
and then configuration and management can be performed either through the DSView software
or through the web manager.
PDUs
To manage a PDU:
1. Select Power Management - PDUs.
