Resetting the ePower PDU
Resetting the ePower PDU performs a hardware reset of the internal
Network Interface Card (NIC) in the event of a lock-up. The reset
button is located beside the RS-232 serial port, through the access hole
(refer to Figure 7-1).
Figure 7-1 Reset Button Location
To reset the ePower PDU:
1. Using a firm, thin object (such as the end of an unfolded paper clip),
press and hold the reset button for 1 to 2 seconds.
The LCD touch screen goes blank and darkens. This indicates
that the NIC is being held in hardware reset. No outlet states are
affected at this time; however, RS-232 and network communication
are terminated.
2. Release the reset button.
The NIC begins its boot-up procedure. The first screen that opens
is the “booting” screen referenced in the Configuring the Initial
ePower Communication section in Chapter 2, “Installing the ePower
PDU.” The system boots up as described that section.
