Installation and Operations Manual
Uploading the certificate:
NOTE:
You can enable user certificates and provide a passphrase using either the firmware Web interface or the Command Line Interface
(CLI). However, the uploading of a custom user certificate can only be done using the Web interface – there are no equivalent commands for
uploading user certificates.
To upload a user certificate, click the
Upload
link. The Upload window displays. Type the certificate filename (or key
filename) and click the
Upload
button. The upload status is displayed in the Stored Files section as described above.
Removing a certificate:
To remove a user certificate, click the
Remove
link. A message displays to confirm the removal of the certificate.
Setting the Sentry Power Manager (SPM) options:
The Sentry Power Manager (SPM) is Server Technology’s enterprise management software product for the data
center. The configuration options provided allow you to enable/disable SPM and reset the SPM password to its default.
NOTE:
The SPM options apply only if you are currently using Server Technology’s SPM software.
SPM Secure Access:
If your operation does not currently use SPM software, you can disable SPM Secure Access. However, if disabled, the
CDU will not be able to use the SPM suite of secure network capabilities or the advanced remote configuration.
Select
Enabled
or
Disabled
from the SPM Secure Access drop-down menu and click
Apply.
NOTE:
Both HTTP and SSL must be enabled or the SPM Secure Access option will not be permitted. When SPM Secure Access is
permitted, the default is
Enabled
.
SPM Password:
Each CDU has a default unique SPM password that communicates between SPM and the CDU. When SPM discovers
a CDU in the network, SPM changes this password into a different unique password for added security. The SPM then
continues to manage or alter these passwords as required for system security.
If a CDU is relocated or swapped from the system after a password was generated, SPM may not be able to re-
establish a connection to the unit. The Set SPM Reset Password command allows you to reset to the internal default
password of the CDU so SPM can re-discover the device and add it to the system. Once the unit has been acquired by
SPM, no further action is necessary.
To reset the password, check SPM Password and click
Apply.
NOTE:
Do not reset the password if SPM communication has already been established.
