PM 1000/2000/3000

The Avocent PM PDUs include single-phase and three-phase models that support strip-level metering, outlet-level metering or outlet-level metering and switching. This advanced family of rack PDUs includes horizontal and vertical models for a variety of rack configurations in branch and remote offices. The PM PDUs include an LED display and a built-in browser interface for local and remote access to real-time data. The metering features, along with the capability to set custom thresholds, allow companies to optimize their electrical infrastructure, without the risk of downtime due to overloaded circuits. The PM 1000 PDUs enable companies of all sizes to accurately measure the current, voltage and power for the entire strip and the circuits within. The PM 2000 and PM 3000 PDUs take this a step further to support outlet-level metering and switching capability (PM 3000 PDUs only) to provide data center professionals the tools they need to monitor, measure, reduce and manage the growing power consumption costs of IT equipment. All of these PDUs include advanced features that consist of a built-in network port for access to the browser interface, daisy chain ports for easy installation and expansion and support for external environmental sensors.

Features and benefits

• Outlet-Level, Phase-Level and Strip-Level Metering with Threshold/Alert
Capabilities – Provides preemptive notification of any impending overload issues before they occur and simplifies the task of installing new equipment
* Note - measurement resolution +/- 5%

• Capability to Remotely Switch Outlets Through Onboard Web Interface, DSView 3 Management Software – Allows power to hung up IT equipment to be recycled, turned on or turned off remotely for faster resolution time (not available on PM 1000 or PM 2000 PDUs)
  
• Onboard Web Interface – Can be installed for direct access right out of the box or it can be configured as part of a larger integrated solution using the DSView 3 management software
  
• IP and Serial Interface Options – Options to install by connecting directly to the network or save IP connections by using the serial interface to connect directly to Avocent appliances already connected to the network
  
• Daisy Chaining – Saves the number of IP addresses or console/KVM ports that are required to manage all power distribution needs
  
• Integration with DSView 3 Management Software – Single interface for management of IT equipment and PDUs simplifies mapping of outlets to servers and other equipment in order to reduce and minimize power cycling the wrong equipment
  
• Integration with DSView 3 Software Power Manager Plug-In – Track historical trends to measure and monitor IT power consumption, capacity and cost in order to understand what issues exist and to make more informed decisions in the future
  
• Electronic Overcurrent Protection (OCP) – An added layer of protection that is activated in the event of minor overloads; during such events, outlets are turned off first instead of the primary OCP tripping
  
• Sequential Startup – Protects integrity of all upstream electrical infrastructure by staggering the inrush current draw of all plugged-in devices
  
• Supports Environmental Sensors – Chain up to six environmental sensors per PDU to measure and monitor temperature and humidity at several different points within the rack for notification of any impending environmental issues
