Interchangeable Monitoring Device
The Interchangeable Monitoring Device (IMD) is the core behind the Geist Upgradable line of power
products. The IMD can be replaced and upgraded to allow data-centers to future-proof their locations.
Basic
The Basic Geist Upgradable PDU is the baseline for the GU line of products. It is built with the IMD-
01
X module, and provides low cost power distribution with the option to upgrade to add local metering
and/or remote monitoring and other features in the future.
Metered
The Metered Geist Upgradable PDU is a locally metered option for the GU line of products. It is built
with the IMD-
01
D module, and provides a local display for viewing current draw (Amps) and power
(Kilowatts), with the option to upgrade to add monitoring and other features in the future.
