Power Management
Connected power devices can be used for remote power management. The ACS 6000 console
server enables users who are authorized for power management to turn power on, turn power off
and reset devices that are plugged into a connected PDU.
The following types of power devices can be connected to any serial port or to the AUX/Modem
port (if an internal modem is not installed):
• Avocent Power Management Power Distribution Unit (PM PDU).
• Cyclades PM Intelligent Power Distribution Units (IPDUs) - With Cyclades PM IPDUs, up to
128 outlets can be daisy-chained and managed from a single serial port.
• Avocent SPC power control devices.
• Server Technology Sentry™ family of Switched Cabinet Power Distribution Units (CDUs)
and switched CDU Expansion Module (CW/CX) power devices. One additional level of power
devices can be daisy-chained with ServerTech Expansion modules.
• Server Technology Sentry Power Tower XL™ (PTXL) and Power Tower Expansion Module
(PTXM) power devices.
NOTE: The term PDU refers to any of these types of power devices.
The ACS 6000 console server automatically recognizes and supports Avocent PM PDUs, Cyclades
PM IPDUs or Avocent SPC devices when the corresponding serial port is configured for power
management.
For supported Server Technology PDUs, the ACS 6000 console server must be managed by a
DSView 3 server (version 3.6.0.152 or greater), the needed power device license must be present
and the power device must be added to the DSView 3 software.
The license is automatically downloaded from the DSView 3 server onto the ACS 6000 console
server, and then configuration and management can be performed either through the DSView
software or through the Web Manager.
PDUs
To manage a PDU:
1. Select Power Management - PDUs.
2. Select the checkbox next to the PDU for which you want to manage power.
3. Click On, Off, Cycle, Reboot PDU, Reset HW Overcurrent Protection or Factory Defaults if
desired. A confirmation appears. Click OK.
NOTE: The power controls (On, Off and Cycle) will be applied to all outlets of the PDU.
4. To change the PDU ID, click Rename and enter the name in the New PDU ID field.
