5.5.1 PDU, Branch and Receptacle Views Overview
The PDU Explorer hierarchy provides three levels for
viewing Rack PDU data: PDU, branch and receptacle.
The PDU level is the default view.
Figure 27 at right shows examples of the three views.
For details on each view, see 5.6 - RPC BDM: PDU
Explorer.
• An icon in the top left corner identifies the
component type—PDU, branch or receptacle.
• The highlighted ID number in the bottom left corner indicates which component is currently
displayed—e.g., PDU #1, Branch #3, Receptacle #5. A selected component will blink while data
about it is displayed.
• The component data includes a graph, amperage and status (V, W; VA for branch/receptacle).
• Navigation buttons appear in the bottom right corner of each screen.
• When any events are detected, the display changes to the PDU view and an Active Events icon
appears at bottom right. See 5.5.3 - Viewing Active Events for details.
