60 Cyclades ACS 6000 Advanced Console Server Installation/Administration/User Guide
• 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)
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: The term PDU refers to any of these types of power devices.
The ACS 6000 console server automatically recognizes and supports a Cyclades PM PDU or
Avocent SPC device when the serial port to which the power device is connected has been
configured for power management.
For supported Server Technology PDUs, the ACS 6000 console server must be managed by a
DSView 3 server (version 3.5.1 or above), 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 ACS 6000 console
server, and then configuration and management can be performed either through the DSView
software or through the Web Manager.
