Introduction
Overview
ATEN PG98 metered-switched-by-outlet 3-Phase PDU series ships with 6 x
IEC 60320 C19 and 24 x IEC 60320 C13 outlets along with a 0U rack
enclosure. Containing an ARM Cortex-A8 processor, the PG98 series delivers
flexible control methods through its LAN / COM / USB / environmental sensor
ports, while being able to power up all connected equipment in less than 10
seconds once plugged in. For cost-saving and space-efficient setup purposes,
PG98 series can be cascaded to connect up to 64 PDU units. As a result, these
PDUs accommodate the increasing demand for power to high-density IT
devices in server rooms and data centers.
In terms of hardware design, these PDUs have built-in energy-saving relays, a
subtype of electromagnetic switch, to help operators control large amounts of
current flow, which results in lower energy consumption compared to relay
models incapable of energy saving.
Other highlights include the circuit breaker preinstalled onto the PG98330
models that support 30A / 32A current flow, which automatically switches off
electricity supply to protect devices from overload or damage. With five colors
(yellow, red, purple, blue, and green) of LCD console panel stickers available
for users to choose from, differentiating between power feed settings and
speeding up troubleshooting are made easier. Plus, the LCD console panel is
hot-swappable and can be removed, replaced, or repaired without powering
down a mission-critical connected load.
Ideal for enterprise servers, network closets, and data centers, the PG98 series
is an intelligent power distribution and management solution that supports
high-density IT applications while minimizing the overall cost.

Proactive Overload Protection (POP)
The PG Series models feature NRGence’s exclusive Proactive Overload
Protection (POP) technology. Effective on all non-critical outlets, this added
safety feature automatically powers off outlets when a current overload occurs.
POP mode is engaged, powering off the outlets, when the current exceeds the
maximum threshold value set. The LED display shows POP and a beeper
sounds. Press any button for two seconds to clear POP mode and power the
outlets back on.

Requirements
Browsers accessing the eco PDU must support TLS 1.0.
For cold booting of attached computers, the computer's BIOS must
support Wake on LAN or System after AC Back.
For Safe Shutdown:
The computer must be running Windows (2000 or above) or Linux.
The Safe Shutdown program — PMonitor — must be installed and
running on the computer (available by download from our website or
on the software CD included).
Note:Safe shutdown program PMonitor can be downloaded from the
Support and Download section of the product web page, as shown
below
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. Only the ATEN Lok-U-Plug cable holders that have been
specifically designed to work with the eco PDU can be used. Using any other
kinds of cable securing device could potentially result in irreversible damage
or harm to the device or users. For a list of compatible cable holders, please
refer to the Compatible Products section on the product web page.
