Introduction

Apc switched rack power distribution units (pdus) enable advanced, user-customizable power control and active monitoring. remote outlet level controls allow power on/off functionality for power cycling to remotely reboot equipment and restrict unauthorized use of individual outlets. power sequencing time delays allow users to define the order in which to power up or down attached equipment to avoid circuit overload. current metering provides real-time remote monitoring of connected loads with user-defined alarms to warn of potential circuit overloads. users can access, configure, and control switched rack pdus through secure web, snmp, command line interface, or telnet interfaces which are complimented by apc centralized management platforms using struxureware data center expert, operations, capacity, and energy efficiency. new ap8000 series switched rack pdus include real power monitoring, a temperature/humidity sensor port, and locking iec receptacles.
