Introduction

Overview

ATEN has developed a new generation of green energy power distribution

units (PDUs) to effectively increase the efficiency of data center power usage

The NRGence PE6108AV / PE6208AV / PE8208AV eco PDUs are intelligent

PDUs that contain 8 AC outlets with a detachable front panel for convenient

rack mounting and are available in various IEC or NEMA socket

configurations.

They provide secure, centralized, intelligent, power management (power on,

off, cycle) of data center IT equipment (servers, storage systems, KVM

switches, network devices, serial data devices, etc.), as well as the ability to

monitor the center's health environment via sensors*. The basic characteristics

of each model are shown in the table on page 3.

NRGence eco PDUs offer remote power control combined with real-time

power measurement - allowing you to control and monitor the power status of

devices attached to the PDUs, either at the PDU and outlet level (PE8208AV)

or Bank level (PE6208AV), from practically any location via a TCP/IP

connection.

The power status of each outlet can be set individually, allowing users to switch

each device On/Off. The eco PDU also offers comprehensive power analysis

reports when used with the eco Sensors software which can separate

departments and locations, providing precise measurements of current,

voltage, power and watt-hour in a real-time display.

Installation and operation is fast and easy: plugging cables into their

appropriate ports and user-friendly browser-based configuration and

management is all that is entailed. Since the eco PDU firmware is upgradeable

over the Net, you can stay current with the latest functionality improvements

simply by downloading updates from our website as they become available.

NRGence eco PDU supports any 3rd party v3 SNMP Manager Software and

NRGence eco Sensors (eco PDU Manager Software). NRGence eco Sensors

provides you with an easy method for managing multiple devices, offering an

intuitive and user-friendly Graphical User Interface that allows you to

configure a PDU device and monitor power status of the equipment connected

to it.

This series of ATEN eco PDUs have threshold alerts that can sound an alarm

and send SNMP trap or e-mail alerts when a threshold is exceeded. This feature

provides a faster response time to recover servers and other devices when the

outlets surpass thresholds set by you.

The PE6108AV / PE6208AV / PE8208AV is an excellent fit for any ATEN

VanCryst Pro A/V or VK Control System installation. Using our cross

platform solutions not only provide you with the best performance but also

utilize extra features which bring you more confidence and more power to

control.

With its advanced security features and ease of operation, the eco PDU is the

most convenient, most reliable, and most cost effective way to remotely

manage power access for multiple computer installations and allocate power

resources in the most efficient way possible.

Note: Sensors are optional accessories. A sensor-enabled installation is

required to generate a more complete energy-efficient data and chart.

Higher sensor installation density is helpful to generate more accurate

data. See Optional Accessories, page 5, for further information.

Optional Accessories

Sensors

Sensors are optional accessories. You can use the eco PDU unit without

sensors. However, if you want to have complete energy management of an

instrumented data center with the use of the eco PDU, you would need to use

eco Sensors software and install 4 sensors for each of the racks to generate a

complete energy-efficient data and chart. Higher sensor installation density is

helpful to generate more accurate data. 8-port models have 2 sensor ports. In

this case, Sensor 1 needs to be installed at the intake of the rack and sensor 2

needs to be placed at the exhaust of IT equipment of the rack. A sensor-enabled

installation is required to generate a more complete energy-efficient data and

chart. Higher sensor installation density is helpful to generate more accurate

data. Available sensors are show in the table, below:

Sensor Management

Sensors can be managed via the eco PDU’s built-in graphical user interface

(GUI) or with the NRGence eco Sensors software that can be downloaded from

the ATEN website. The download link can be found on the software CD

provided with the eco PDU package.

Cable Holders

Cable holders are optional accessories. For added safety, use ATEN Lok-U-

Plug cable holders to secure the cables from your attached devices in place on

the eco PDU unit. Use only the ATEN Lok-U-Plug cable holders that have

been specifically designed to work with the eco PDU. Using any other kind of

cable securing device could be highly dangerous.

1 Port LED The Port LEDs provide status information about their

corresponding AC outlet ports. There is one pair of LEDs for each

port. The one on the left is the Local LED; the one on the right is

the Power LED:

 A Local LED lights GREEN to indicate that the device attached

to its corresponding port is capable of being controlled locally

via the Power Control Button. The Local Mode is enabled/

disabled with the Outlet Locked check box in the web GUI.

 A Power LED lights ORANGE to indicate that there is electricity

going to its corresponding outlet. The LED flashes under the

following conditions:

 If Modem Ring Resume is enabled (see Modem Ring

Resume*, page 30), an outlet still receives electricity even

when its corresponding computer has been powered OFF.

The Power LED blinks OFF, then ON for 8 seconds, then

OFF, then ON for 8 seconds, etc., to indicate this situation.

 When a power status change is pending, the LED flashes

until the change has taken place.

 If both LEDs flash it indicates that there is either an

overcurrent situation, or the relay has failed.

2 Current

3 Status LED The current (in amps), IP address or Holiday Mode status displays

here. You can switch between the Current and IP status using the

Current / IP Switch (see item 7, below).

 When the Current status is displayed the Current LED (see

above) lights RED.

 When the IP status is selected, the unit’s IP address (two digits

of an octet at a time) will be shown, twice.

 When Holiday Mode is enabled the Status LED displays hd

(see Holiday Mode, page 41).

Control

Buttons

Each button (1 to 8), controls the power status of its corresponding

AC output port as follows:

 Under Local Mode, pressing and holding the button in for more

than 3 seconds switches the power to its corresponding port On

or Off.

 Pressing and holding button (1) in for more than 8 seconds

sequentially reboots all outlets.

 Pressing and holding button (8) in for more than 8 seconds

enables/disables Holiday Mode (see Holiday Mode, page 41).

7 Current / IP

Switch

Switches displaying the Current (in amps) – to displaying the IP

address on the Status LED.

 When pushed, the Status LED will display the unit’s IP address

(two digits of an octet at a time) twice and then switch back to

displaying the Current.

8 Reset

Switch

Press and release to reboot the PDU. Pressing and holding this

switch in for more than three seconds resets the PDU to its factory

default settings. This switch is recessed and must be pushed with

a thin object, such as the end of a paper clip, or a ballpoint pen.

9 Link LED Lights GREEN to indicate that a connection via the PDU's RJ-45

Ethernet port has been established. Flashes to indicate that data

is being transmitted.
