Optional Accessories

Sensors

Sensors are optional accessories. You can use the EC1000 / EC2004 Energy Box without sensors. However, if you want to have complete energy management of your data center with the full use of the EC1000 / EC2004 Energy Box, you would need to use eco Sensors software and install 4 sensors for each of the racks to generate more complete energy-efficient data and charts. Sensors help you maintain a safe and highly efficient data center by monitoring environmental conditions. Higher sensor density installations help to generate more accurate and precise data. Available sensors are show in the table, below:
