1 1 Introduction 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), SNMP 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 LED display The PM PDU has an LED that displays aggregate current, phase/bank current, outlet current or temperature. You can use the Function 1 button to switch the type of display and use the Function 2 button to cycle through different targets. Pressing and holding any function button for two seconds will reset the overcurrent protection.
Chapter 1: Introduction 3 sensors. Contact your Avocent representative for more information about external sensors for the PM PDU. Hardware Configuration Options The PM PDU may be used in one of two hardware configurations: • Standalone – Managed independently of any other hardware device. • Daisy chained - Multiple PDUs connected to one another and managed by one main Avocent PM PDU. Standalone configuration In a standalone configuration, the PM PDU operates independently of any other hardware.
4 Avocent PM PDU Installer/User Guide Figure 1.1: Standalone Configuration Table 1.
Chapter 1: Introduction 5 NOTE: The installation shows the PM PDU being connected with the RJ-45 to DB-9F adaptor that is shipped with the product. If your unit does not have a DB-9M COM port, you may use a USB serial adaptor and connect to a USB port when possible. Daisy-chained configuration In a daisy-chained configuration, multiple PM PDUs are connected to one another and managed by a single main PM PDU.
6 Avocent PM PDU Installer/User Guide Figure 1.2: Daisy Chained Avocent PM PDUs To daisy chain a PM PDU: 1. Connect one end of a CAT 5 cable to the OUT port of the main PM PDU, which is connected to a workstation or management appliance. 2. Connect the other end of the CAT 5 cable to the IN port of the secondary PM PDU. Repeat these steps until you have connected the desired number of PM PDUs.
7 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.
8 Avocent PM PDU Installer/User Guide Rack Mounting the PM PDU You may rack mount the PM PDU or place it on a desktop or other flat surface. A horizontal PM PDU can be mounted in a 1U fashion using the included brackets. It can be mounted on either the front or back to display outlets and LEDs on either the front or rear of the rack. A vertical PM PDU can be mounted utilizing the side bars in the rack.
Chapter 2: Installation Figure 2.1: Mounting a Horizontal PM PDU Table 2.
10 Avocent PM PDU Installer/User Guide Figure 2.2: Attaching VELCRO® Retention Strips for a Horizontal PM PDU Mounting a vertical PM PDU Rack mounting using the tool-less 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.

Chapter 2: Installation 13 Rack mount safety considerations • Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature: If the PM PDU is installed in a closed or multiunit 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. • Reduced Air Flow:.
14 Avocent PM PDU Installer/User Guide WARNING: Do not spill food or liquids on the PDU. If it gets wet, disconnect the power immediately and contact Avocent. WARNING: Keep the PDU away from heat sources. WARNING: Disconnect power from the product by unplugging the power cord from either the electrical outlet or the PDU. The AC inlet is the main disconnect for removing power to the PDU. For PDUs that have more than one AC inlet, to remove power completely, all AC line cords must be disconnected.
Chapter 2: Installation • Command Prompt • Browser or text based menu For information about integrated use with an Avocent management device visit, www.avocent.com or refer to the appropriate product documentation. Default configuration parameters The PM PDU’s default configuration is as follows: • User is admin • Admin user’s password is pm8 NOTE: The pm8 password is valid only for the console and is used by the main PM PDU in a chain to log in to chained PM PDUs. • All outlets are named.

73 APPENDICES Appendix A: Accessing a PM PDU via SNMP Using a machine with an SNMP-client application, an administrator can configure PDU power parameters using snmpset and snmpget commands. An administrator can, for example, change the PDU's name, change an outlet's name or change the current thresholds of an outlet. A complete list of configurable parameters can be found in the PDU's MIB file. Configuration via SNMP will take effect upon completion of the command.

All outlets in a bank, that are protected by a common fuse or dual fuses, will turn off together in case the total current in that bank exceeds the fuse limits. The web manager/CLI will show all outlets in that bank as tripped.
108 Avocent PM PDU Installer/User Guide Appendix D: Replacing the Fuses (For Service Personnel Only) This product contains replaceable fuses. To avoid serious injury and/or damage to your Avocent PM PDU, make sure: • The PDU is disconnected from a power source and all connected devices are turned off before replacing a fuse. • Fuses are replaced with an Avocent approved branch circuit fuse class G time delay type with 20A 600 VAC rating.
