PM20i-32A IPDU and PM20i-32Au IPDU

The PM20i-32A IPDU and the PM20i-32Au IPDU have two 16-amp circuit breakers. The first circuit breaker controls outlets 11 through 20; the second controls outlets 1 through 10. In the event that the total current flow to outlets 11 through 20 exceeds 16 amps due to equipment connected to these outlets, the first circuit breaker will trip causing outlets 11 through 20 to shutdown. This does not affect outlets 1 through 10 which are controlled by the second circuit breaker.

As the PM20i-32A IPDU and the PM20i-32Au IPDU have the controller powered from the line side of one of the circuit breakers, the whole unit will become inoperative only when both circuit breakers trip; however, the controller will remain functioning.

When either circuit breaker trips, only the power outlets of that segment will be affected, and half of the outlets remain operative.

PM IPDU specifications

Avocent PM IPDU (Intelligent Power Distribution Unit) is a cutting-edge solution designed for efficient power management and monitoring in data centers and IT environments. These devices are essential for businesses aiming to optimize power consumption, enhance uptime, and improve overall operational efficiency.

One of the primary features of the Avocent PM IPDU is its ability to provide real-time monitoring of power usage at the outlet level. This granularity allows IT professionals to track the power consumption of individual devices and make informed decisions regarding resource allocation and load balancing. The device supports multiple power distribution configurations, making it versatile enough to suit a variety of setups.

Incorporating advanced technologies, the Avocent PM IPDU supports intelligent alerts and notifications, enabling proactive management of potential power-related issues. Users can configure customizable thresholds for power consumption, and the system will automatically send alerts if these thresholds are breached. This proactive approach helps in minimizing downtime and averting potential outages.

Another notable characteristic is the comprehensive remote management capabilities of the Avocent PM IPDU. Users can access the unit's management interface via a web-based portal, which provides intuitive dashboards displaying real-time data on power usage, temperature, and environmental conditions. This remote access feature is essential for IT teams managing distributed environments or multi-site operations, as it facilitates quick and effective responses to power concerns.

The Avocent PM IPDU also integrates seamlessly with existing management systems, offering compatibility with various standards and protocols. This interoperability ensures that organizations can leverage their current infrastructure while enhancing their power management capabilities. Additionally, the unit supports power metering and reporting features, enabling detailed analysis of energy consumption trends over time.

Furthermore, Avocent PM IPDU models come equipped with features such as outlet-level control, allowing IT administrators to perform remote power cycling, thus increasing operational efficiency and reducing the need for on-site visits. The units are designed with robust security features, including customizable user permissions and encryption protocols, ensuring that power management operations are protected from unauthorized access.

Overall, the Avocent PM IPDU is an essential tool for organizations striving to improve their power management practices. With its advanced monitoring, remote management capabilities, and robust security features, it is well-suited for modern data center environments where efficiency, reliability, and operational effectiveness are paramount.
