Power Management

Power Management

The KVM/net enables users who have power management permissions to power off, power on, and reboot remote devices connected to an AlterPath PM intelligent power distribution unit (IPDU). By connecting one PM to the AUX port and by daisy-chaining any combination of PM models, you can connect up to 128 outlets to one KVM/net.

See “Setting Up and Configuring Power Management” on page 42 for information about the procedures the KVM/net administrator must perform before anyone can use the tools to manage power.

KVM/net users most commonly perform power management through the Web Manager. See “Options for Managing Power” on page 40 for more information.
