IPDU Power Mgmt.>IPDU Multi-Outlet Ctrl
When an authorized user selects the “IPDU Multi-Outlet Ctrl” menu option, a
screen appears like the one shown in the following figure.
A multi-outlet device is a server or other device that has more than one power
supply. On the “IPDU Multi-Outlet Ctrl.” screen, authorized users can view
and manage the power on a group of outlets that provide power to a server or
another device that has multiple power supplies, when the device is connected
to a serial port and properly configured.
The outlets do not need to be on the same AlterPath PM IPDU.
Outlets on multiple IPDUs can be managed as a group from this screen.
See "Managing Multiple Outlets for how authorized users and administrators
manage outlets for multi-outlet servers.
