Product Description

Features of the Switched Rack PDU

The APC® Switched Rack Power Distribution Unit (PDU) is a stand-alone,
network-manageable device that provides current monitoring and allows
programmable control of eight, sixteen, or twenty-four power outlets
(depending on the model).
You can manage a Switched Rack PDU through its Web interface, its
control console, the InfraStruXure® Manager, or SNMP:
• The Web interface supports using HTTPS access with Secure Sockets
Layer (SSL) and using HTTP access.
• You can access the control console through a serial connection, Telnet,
or Secure SHell (SSH).
• Your Rack PDU is compatible with the APC InfraStruXure system and
can be monitored and managed through the InfraStruXure Manager.
• You can use an SNMP browser and the APC PowerNet® Management
Information Base (MIB) to manage your Rack PDU.
Switched Rack PDUs have these additional features:
• Current monitoring per phase or bank
• Configurable alarm thresholds that provide network and visual alarms
to help avoid overloaded circuits
• Independent outlet control
• Configurable power delays
• 24 independent outlet user accounts
