PDUs

Lost Comms

There are two basic reasons why you may see ‘Lost Comms’ messages from PDU ports.

The PDU port is enabled, but does not have a PDU physically connected, in which case the port
can be disabled.

The connection between the Gateway EPA126 PDU port and the PDU has become defective in
some way.

Resolution

PDU Port Enabled but PDU not physically connected

In this situation, the unused PDU ports may be enabled, but not physically connected to a PDU.

Example: a cabinet may contain 2 PDU’s, but all 6 PDU

ports may be enabled in the Gateway

EPA126

, meaning that the 4 unconnected ports will generate ‘Lost Comms’ alerts.
