E.2. Mounting Buttons

The Mounting Buttons allow MPC-20V series (vertical) units to be mounted in any equipment rack that includes mounting button holes, as shown in Figure E.4. Depending on the location of the mounting button holes in your equipment rack, this can allow the MPC-20V to be mounted on the posts at the rear of the equipment rack, or in some cases, even mounted on the outside of the rack corner posts.

1.Attaching the Mounting Buttons to the MPC-20V: Attach four Mounting Buttons to the back panel of the MPC-20V unit as described below:

a)Insert a retaining screw into each Mounting Button with the top of the screw aligned with the large end of the Mounting Button, as shown in Figure E.3.

b)Locate the screw holes for the Mounting Buttons on the MPC-20V back panel. There are two screw holes at the top of the back panel and two holes at the bottom. Note that the screw holes for the Mounting Buttons are not the same holes shown in Figure E.1; the Mounting Button screw holes are located at the top of the unit, directly above the screw holes shown in Figure E.1, and at the bottom, about three inches below the holes shown in Figure E.1.

c)Firmly attach two Mounting Buttons to the screw holes at the top of the MPC and two Mounting Buttons to the screw holes at the bottom of the unit.

2.Attach the MPC to the Equipment Rack: Align the Mounting Buttons with the top end of each mounting button hole (see Figure E.4.) Press the mounting buttons into the mounting button holes, and then slide the unit downwards, so each Mounting Button seats firmly in the lower end of each corresponding mounting button hole.

The Western Telematic MPC series is renowned for its robust and versatile remote power management solutions. Among its offerings, the MPC-20VS16-3, MPC-20VD16-3, MPC-20VD20-2, MPC-20VS20-1, and MPC-20VS20-2 stand out as exceptional products tailored to meet the demands of modern telecommunications and data center environments.

One of the key features across this series is the ability to monitor and control up to 20 power outlets, which allows for efficient resource management and reduces downtime. Each model in the series accommodates various configurations, including both switched and non-switched outlets. This flexibility makes it easier for operators to manage power distribution according to their specific needs.

The integration of real-time monitoring capabilities is another highlight of the MPC series. Users can track power consumption, voltage, and current for each outlet, enabling better decision-making to optimize energy usage. This feature contributes significantly to the overall efficiency of operations, ensuring that resources are utilized effectively.

Communication is seamless with the Western Telematic MPC series, as these models are equipped with multiple network connectivity options. They support both SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) and Telnet, facilitating easy integration with existing network management systems. Additionally, the devices can send alerts and notifications via email or SMS, keeping operators informed about any changes in power status or potential issues.

The MPC models are designed with redundancy and reliability in mind. They come equipped with advanced surge protection, ensuring sensitive equipment remains safe from power spikes. The rugged construction of the units ensures they can withstand the rigors of data center environments, with an emphasis on heat dissipation and airflow management.

Security features are also a priority. The MPC series includes user authentication and access control to prevent unauthorized users from manipulating power settings. The ability to set user permissions ensures that only designated personnel can operate sensitive components, enhancing operational security.

Energy efficiency is a guiding principle in the design of the MPC series. By providing tools for monitoring and controlling power usage, these devices contribute to a reduction in energy costs, aligning with sustainability goals sought by modern enterprises.

In conclusion, the Western Telematic MPC-20VS16-3, MPC-20VD16-3, MPC-20VD20-2, MPC-20VS20-1, and MPC-20VS20-2 are exemplary models in the field of remote power management. With features such as comprehensive outlet control, real-time monitoring, robust communication options, security protocols, and a focus on energy efficiency, these units are engineered to meet the rigorous demands of the telecommunications and data center sectors. By implementing these advanced technologies, operators can enhance their operational capabilities while also contributing to long-term sustainability.
