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.
