1 CHAPTER Introduction 1 This guide enables you to install, configure and maintain your Avocent Power Management Power Distribution Unit (PM PDU). All Avocent PM PDUs (PM 1000, PM 2000 and PM 3000 PDUs) have strip level metering capabilities. All attached units can also be managed through a Web Manager, Command Line Interface (CLI), or serially in conjunction with several Avocent DSR® KVM over IP switches, ACS 6000 advanced console servers or with DSView® 3 management software.
2 Avocent PM PDU Installer/User Guide Power reset button The PM PDU has a power reset button that can be used to reset the PDU without affecting the power supply to equipment plugged into the PDU. In-rush current control The PM PDU incorporates an in-rush current control feature that prevents all power outlet receptacles from turning on at once, eliminating possible current surges that could render the equipment inoperable.
Chapter 1: Introduction 3 Standalone configuration In a standalone configuration, the PM PDU operates independently of any other hardware. The following graphic displays a PM PDU with the console port connected to a computer running terminal emulation. Ethernet Connection 5 6 3 2 5 1 4 Figure 1.1: Standalone Configuration Table 1.
4 Avocent PM PDU Installer/User Guide Daisy chained configuration In a daisy chained configuration, multiple PM PDUs are connected to one another and managed by a single main PM PDU. The PM PDUs are linked together with CAT 5 cables connected through the PM PDU’s IN and OUT ports. Avocent PM PDUs can be daisy chained with Cyclades® PDUs. NOTE: You cannot daisy chain an Avocent PM PDU from a Cyclades PDU.
5 CHAPTER 2 Installation Getting Started Before installing your Avocent PM PDU, refer to the following list to ensure you have all items shipped with the PDU, as well as other items necessary for proper installation.
6 Avocent PM PDU Installer/User Guide can be mounted utilizing the side bars in the rack. When using the sidebars, the PM PDU can be mounted with the outlets on either the top end or the bottom end of the PM PDU. Mounting a horizontal PM PDU Attach the supplied mounting brackets to the PM PDU using the four retaining screws provided for each bracket. Align the mounting holes of the brackets with the notched holes on the vertical rail of the rack and attach with the retaining screws.
Chapter 2: Installation 7 Figure 2.3: Attaching Retention Clips for a 6-port Horizontal PM PDU Figure 2.4: Attaching VELCRO® Retention Strips for a Horizontal PM PDU Mounting a vertical PM PDU Rack mounting using the toolless keyed mounting hardware Locate the two pre-installed round plastic keys on the far ends of the back of the PM PDU. Line up each key with the large end of the keyhole-shaped mounting socket on each end of the rack. Insert the keys and then pull down to lock the PM PDU in place.
8 Avocent PM PDU Installer/User Guide desired orientation. Using two screws (designed for your rack) for each bracket, attach the PM PDU to the rack. Leave enough space at either end for cable connections. Attach the supplied retention clips or VELCRO strips using the notches to the side of the outlets on the PM PDU. NOTE: Ensure the positioning of the bracket does not interfere with equipment in the rack or doors. Toolless Mounting Figure 2.5: Rack Mounting a Vertical PM PDU Figure 2.
Chapter 2: Installation 9 Figure 2.7: Attaching VELCRO Retention Strips for a Vertical PM PDU Rack mount safety considerations • Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature: If the PM PDU is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient temperature.
10 Avocent PM PDU Installer/User Guide WARNING: Do not push any objects through the openings of the PDU. Doing so may cause fire or electric shock by shorting out interior components. WARNING: There is a possibility of severe electrical shock from either the live or neutral side of any of the power outlets or their wiring, even if one of the circuit breakers is disabled. WARNING: The PDU is intended for indoor use only.
Chapter 2: Installation 2. 11 Plug one end of a straight-through CAT 5 cable into the female end of the adaptor and plug the other end of the CAT 5 cable into the PM PDU’s IN port. To connect a PM PDU to an Avocent ACS 6000: 1. Plug one end of a straight-through CAT 5 cable into one of the ACS 6000’s serial ports. 2. Plug the other end of the CAT 5 cable into the PM PDU’s IN port.
