NOTE: Receptacles on units with an “M” as the fourth character in the model name (MPHMxxxx)
cannot be turned off.

2.8.3 On-board LCD controls and indicators

The rack PDU has an integrated, on-board LCD and touch-key interface that can be used to view
information about the rack PDU. The information available depends on the type of rack PDU. For
additional information about the on-board LCD, see

Operation

on page 25.

2.8.4 Power components

The number of receptacles and circuit breakers depend on the model of the rack PDU. For example, units
with a “B” as the fourth character in the model name do not have LEDs at their receptacles.
