Chapter 1
Introduction
Overview
As part of its NRGence line, ATEN has developed a new generation of green
energy power distribution units (eco PDUs) to effectively increase the
efficiency of data center power usage. The NRGence PE7216r / PE7234r /
PE8216r / PE8324r / PE9216r / PE9324r eco PDUs are intelligent PDUs that
contain 16 or 24 AC outlets and are available in various IEC or NEMA socket
configurations. Models in the advanced PE9 range feature a dedicated 8-outlet
bank for critical load devices, as well as NRGence’s proactive overload
protection, which automatically powers off the last outlet that caused the
current overload.
NRGence eco PDUs provide secure, centralized, intelligent, power
management (power on, off, cycle) of data center IT equipment (servers,
storage systems, KVM switches, network devices, serial data devices, etc.), as
well as the ability to monitor the center's health environment via sensors*. The
basic characteristics of each model are shown in the table on page 3.
NRGence eco PDUs offer remote power control combined with real-time
power measurement – allowing you to control and monitor the power status of
devices attached to the PDUs, either at the PDU device, bank, or outlet level,
depending on the model, from practically any location via a TCP/IP
connection*.
The power status of each outlet can be set individually, allowing users to switch
each device On/Off. The eco PDU also offers comprehensive power analysis
reports which can separate departments and locations, providing precise
measurements of current, voltage, power and watt-hour in a real-time display.
Installation and operation is fast and easy: plugging cables into their
appropriate ports and user-friendly browser-based configuration and
management is all that is entailed. Since the eco PDU firmware is upgradeable
over the Net, you can stay current with the latest functionality improvements
simply by downloading updates from our website as they become available.
NRGence eco PDU supports any 3rd party V1, V2, V3 SNMP Manager
Software and NRGence eco Sensors (eco PDU Manager Software). eco
Sensors provides you with an easy method for managing multiple devices,
offering an intuitive and user-friendly Graphical User Interface that allows you

eco PDU PE Series User Manual

to configure a PDU device and monitor power status of the equipment
connected to it.
With its advanced security features and ease of operation, the eco PDU is the
most convenient, most reliable, and most cost effective way to remotely
manage power access for multiple computer installations and allocate power
resources in the most efficient way possible.
Note: 1. Sensors are optional accessories. A sensor-enabled installation is
required to generate a more complete energy-efficient data and chart.
Higher sensor installation density is helpful to generate more accurate
data. See Optional Accessories, page 8, for further information.
2. eco PDUs are primarily designed for access via Intranet; extra
network security protection is suggested for Internet access usage.
3. Not all models support all features. See PE7216r / PE7234r /
PE8216r / PE8324r / PE9216r / PE9324r Comparison Chart, page 3,
and Specifications, page 101, for full details.

Proactive Overload Protection (POP) (PE9 series)
The PE9216r and PE9324r models feature NRGence’s exclusive Proactive
Overload Protection (POP) technology. Effective on outlets 9–16, this added
safety feature automatically powers off the last outlet that caused the current
overload.
POP mode is engaged when the Bank 1 current exceeds the set threshold
maximum value, powering off the outlet. The LED display shows POP and a
beeper sounds. Press any button for two seconds to clear POP modem and
power the outlet back on.

Optional Accessories
Sensors
For complete energy management of an instrumented data center with the use
of the eco PDU and eco Sensors software, you should install 4 sensors for each
of the racks in your data center in order to generate a complete energy-efficient
data chart. Higher sensor installation density is helpful to generate more
accurate data. 8/16-port models have 4 sensor ports. Higher sensor installation
density is helpful to generate more accurate data.
To get the most complete eco Sensors Dashboard data, the recommended 4-
sensor setup is show in the table, below:
Sensor Management
Sensors can be managed via the eco PDU’s built-in graphical user interface
(GUI) or with the NRGence eco Sensors software that can be downloaded from
the ATEN website. The download link can be found on the software CD
provided with the eco PDU package.
Cable Holders
Cable holders are optional accessories. For added safety, use ATEN Lok-U-
Plug cable holders to secure the cables from your attached devices in place on
the eco PDU unit. Use only the ATEN Lok-U-Plug cable holders that have
been specifically designed to work with the eco PDU. Using any other kind of
cable securing device could be highly dangerous.
