Introduction
Overview
The PN7212 and PN7320 are power distribution units (PDUs) that contain 12
and 20 AC outlets, respectively, and are available in IEC or NEMA socket
configurations. They provide secure, centralized, intelligent, power
management (power on, off, cycle) of remote data center equipment (servers,
KVM switches, network devices, serial data devices, etc.), as well as the ability
to monitor the center's health environment. By daisy chaining up to 15
additional PN7212 or PN7320 units, as many as 320 outlets can be managed
from a single interface.
The characteristics of each model are shown in the following table:
The power status of each outlet can be set individually, allowing users to
establish on/off schedules for each device. Outlets can also be aggregated into
groups, allowing groups of devices to be power managed at the same time,
while On/Off sequencing enables users to set the power on sequence and delay
time for each port to allow equipment to be turned on in the proper order.
Installation and operation is fast and easy: plugging cables into their
appropriate ports and user-friendly browser-based configuration and
management is all that is entailed. Serial access via modem, Telnet and SSH is
also supported to ensure system availability.
Since the PN7212 / PN7320' firmware is upgradeable over the Net, you can
stay current with the latest functionality improvements simply by downloading
updates from our website as they become available.
With its advanced security features and ease of operation, the PN7212 /
PN7320 is the most convenient, most reliable, and most cost effective way to
remotely manage power access for multiple computer installations.
