Power Management Through the OSD
See “Power Management” on page 50 for an overview of how power is
managed on the OnSite, if needed.
The following two types of power management can be done through the OSD.
• IPDU power management
• Power management of servers while connected to KVM ports
IPDU Power Management (OSD)
Only administrative users can use the OSD to perform power management of
outlets on connected and configured AlterPath PMs. See “Power Management
Menu [OSD]” on page 384 and other sections referenced there for the Power
Management screens available to administrative users and for how to use
them.
