Introduction

This installation, administration and user’s guide provides background information and procedures

for installing, configuring and maintaining the Cyclades

®

Power Management (PM) Intelligent

Power Distribution Unit (IPDU) family.

The Cyclades PM IPDU enables remote power control of servers and network gear. When used in

conjunction with DSR

®

switches or console servers, the PM IPDU delivers easier management

capabilities and faster problem solving by integrating console/KVM access and power control into

one single interface.

The following sections describe general features common to all PM IPDU models and point out

specific features of certain units.

Features and Benefits

Alarms and monitoring

The PM IPDU delivers accurate, real-time global current monitoring of all connected devices via

the user interface screen or locally through an LED digital display. Users have the ability to set a

current alarm threshold that, once exceeded, will cause the PM IPDU to sound an alarm or send a

notification message, or both.

Sequential power application

The PM IPDU incorporates a sequential power application feature that prevents all power outlet

receptacles from turning on at once, eliminating the potential of current surges that could render the

equipment inoperable. Together with the global current monitoring, the sequential power

application feature lets users safely install more equipment on existing power circuits without the

worry of current overloads.

Support for daisy chaining

The IPDU has a fixed number of power outlet receptacles, but with daisy chaining capabilities,

users may increase capacity by connecting the control interfaces of several PM IPDUs in a series.

Integration with Avocent management products

The PM IPDU can be combined with an ACS console server or DSR KVM switch to provide

enhanced functionality. Please refer to the appropriate product documentation for more information

on how to use the PM IPDU with your specific implementation.

Hardware Configuration Options

The PM IPDU may be used in one of three hardware configurations:

• Standalone – Managed independently of any other hardware device.

• Daisy chained - Multiple PM IPDUs connected to one another and managed by one main

PM IPDU.

• Integrated – Managed by a console server or a KVM switch.

Standalone configuration

In a standalone configuration, the PM IPDU operates independently of any other hardware. The

following graphic displays a PM IPDU with the console port connected to a computer running

terminal emulation.

Chapter 1: Introduction 3

NOTE: The installation example displays the PM IPDU being connected with the RJ-45 to DB-9F adaptor that is

shipped with the product. If the unit you are connected to does not have a DB-9M COM port, you may use a USB

serial adaptor and connect to a USB port when possible.

Daisy chained configuration

In a daisy chained configuration, multiple PM IPDUs are connected to one another and managed by

a single main PM IPDU. The PMs are linked together with RJ-45 cables connected through the PM

IPDU’s IN and OUT ports. The following example shows three PM IPDUs operating in a daisy

chained environment. PM IPDU #1 is connected to the local workstation and is the “main”

PM IPDU.

Figure 1.2: Daisy Chained PM IPDUs with an Avocent Management Device

Integrated configuration

In an integrated configuration, the PM IPDU is configured to work in conjunction with an Avocent

management product.

A user connects to the PM IPDU by accessing the appropriate console port of the Avocent

management product. In this scenario, software configuration on and monitoring of the PM IPDU

is done through the Avocent management product and not on the PM IPDU itself. Visit

www.avocent.com for more information.

Installation

Getting Started

Collect the following equipment prior to installing and configuring the PM IPDU in

standalone configuration:

• One or more RJ-45 to RJ-45 straight-through cables

• An RJ-45 to DB-9F straight-through adaptor

• A PC running a terminal emulation program

Supplied with the PM IPDU

Modular input power cables for the PM IPDU

If your PM IPDU model does not have a fixed power input cable, it may ship with a modular cable.

Depending on your site’s location, the modular input power cables included in the box vary.

CAT5 cable

Used for the following:

Along with an adaptor, to connect a terminal or PC to the IN port.

To connect to a Cyclades console or KVM management device.

To connect to another PM IPDU in a daisy chain.

RJ-45 to DB-9F straight-through adaptor Along with an RJ-45 cable, used to connect a terminal or PC to a

PC’s COM port.

RJ-45 loopback connector Used to gain temporary access to the PM IPDU.

6 Cyclades PM IPDU Installer/Administrator/User Guide

NOTE: The Cyclades PM 10i-32Au IPDU ships with an unterminated power cord. If necessary, contact Avocent

Technical Support for guidelines on approved power plug installation.

Optional outlet cable package

The following cable packages may be ordered separately for the IEC PM IPDU models:

• 8-outlet cables (C13 female to C14 male)

• 10-outlet cables (C13 female to C14 male)

Rack Mounting the PM IPDU

You may mount the PM IPDU on a rack or wall or place it on a desktop or other flat surface. Two

brackets are supplied with six Phillips screws for attaching the brackets to the PM8i IPDU, the

PM10 IPDU and the PM10i IPDU for mounting.

If you are mounting the PM IPDU, obtain a Phillips screwdriver and appropriate nuts and bolts

before mounting the PM IPDU.

NOTE: When mounting a PM IPDU zero U model to a wall stud, securely mount it by using a #10 (4.8 mm or

0.19 in or 3/16 in) or larger screw or use a drywall fastener rated min. 25 lb. (11.34 kg).

The following graphic depicts the orientation of the brackets for front rack mounting a PM IPDU.

Chapter 2: Installation 7

Installation environment

When installing the PM IPDU, ensure that the following environment specifications are met.

NOTE: Install a PM IPDU 0U model in a location where there is an adjacent and accessible socket outlet.

CAUTION: The plug on the power cord of the PM IPDU is used as the disconnect device.

To mount the PM10 IPDU or PM10i IPDU:

1. Using a Phillips screwdriver, attach the supplied brackets to the sides of the PM IPDU.

2. Use the mounting hardware recommended for your rack to mount the PM IPDU.

Table 2.2: PM IPDU Optimum Installation Environment

Environment Factor Recommendation

Temperature The manufacturer's maximum recommended ambient temperature for the

PM IPDU is 122 ºF (50 ºC).

Elevated Operating Ambient

Temperature

If the PM IPDU is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the

operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater

than room ambient temperature. Therefore, consideration should be given

to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the

manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient temperature. See above.

Reduced Air Flow Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air

flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

Mechanical Loading Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous

condition is not created due to uneven mechanical loading.

Circuit Overloading Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the

supply circuit and the effect that overloading of circuits might have on

overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of

equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing

this concern.

Reliable Grounding Reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.

Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct

connections to the branch circuit, such as power strips or extension cords.
