Avocent Cyclades PM2000 User manual

PM2000 & PM3000 intelligent Power Distribution units (IPDUs) support outlet level metering and
switching capability to provide datacenter professionals the tools they need to monitor, measure, reduce,
and manage their growing power consumption costs of IT equipment. Thresholds can be created to
allow datacenter teams to know before problems occur and minimize downtime caused by overloaded
circuits. With the ability to support up to 22 kW and support for C19 outlets, the PM2000 and PM3000
IPDUs are well positioned to support the high rack density found in organizations today.
Measure power at the Outlet level
Outlet level metering and switching capability provides datacenter professionals the tools they need to
monitor, measure, reduce and chargeback their growing power consumption costs of IT equipment while
minimizing any downtime that could potentially be caused by overloaded circuits or hung up IT equipment.
Metering/Switching capabilities
Capture valuable information and control power to individual devices
• Metering per outlet with the PM2000 IPDUs
• Metering and switching per outlet with PM3000 IPDUs
Alarms and monitoring
The Avocent PM2000 and PM3000 IPDUs deliver accurate, real-time current monitoring of all
connected devices via the web manager, DSView® 3 software or locally through an LED digital display.
Users can set a current alarm threshold that, once exceeded, will cause the PM PDU to sound an alarm
or send a notification message, or both.
Flexible management options
Avocent IPDUs can be combined with an ACS 6000 console server or DSR® KVM over IP switch to
provide faster problem solving by integrating system access and power control in a single interface. Now
you can see the remote devices and control their power using an integrated approach that allows you
to actually see the remote device as it powers up or reboots. This integration provides instant feedback
when critical issues are being resolved remotely.
DSView 3 management software integration
The DSView 3 software provides access and control to nearly all equipment found in today’s data
centers. The DSView 3 Power Manager extends the capability of the DSView 3 software by also giving
companies the ability to monitor and measure IT energy consumption, costs, and trends across all levels
within their data centers and remote locations. With the PM2000 & PM3000 IPDUs this information
can allow you to look at individual devices, a rack of equipment, a row of equipment and group items
together to view overall consumptions, capacity and cost across many locations or just a single device.

Avocent can help you answer
questions like-
Do you know how much power each
piece of equipment is consuming?
Do you have the capability to cycle
the power to your local and remote
servers?
How do you limit who has permission
to power cycle equipment and how
is that activity logged?
When you install new equipment,
how do you ensure that you have
power available?

Intelligent Power Distribution Unit
Features and Benefits
Outlet level, phase level, and strip level current/voltage/power metering with threshold/alert capabilities*.
Provides preemptive notification of any impending overload issues before they occur, and simplifies the
task of installing new equipment. *(Note- measurement resolution +/- %5)
Capability to remotely switch outlets through onboard web interface, DSView 3 management software (Not
available on PM2000). Allows power to hung up IT equipment to be recycled, turned on or turned off
remotely for faster resolution time.
On board web interface. Can be installed for direct access right out of the box or it can be configured
as part of a larger integrated solution using the DSView 3 software.
IP and Serial interface options. Options to install by connecting directly to the network or save IP
connections by using the serial interface to connect directly to Avocent appliances already connected
to the network.
Daisy chaining. Saves the number of IP addresses or console / KVM ports that are required to
manage all power distribution needs.
Integration with DSView 3 software. Single interface for management of IT equipment and IPDUs
simplifies mapping of outlets to servers and other equipment to reduce and minimize power cycling the
wrong equipment.
Integration with DSView 3 Power Manager. Track historical trends to measure and monitor IT power
consumption, capacity, and cost to understand what issues exist and to make more informed
decisions in the future.
Electronic Overcurrent Protection. Electronic Overcurrent Protection is an added layer of protection
that is activated in the event of minor overloads. During such events, outlets are turned off first
instead of the primary overcurrent protection (OCP) tripping.
Sequential Startup. Protects integrity of all upstream electrical infrastructure by staggering the inrush
current draw of all plugged in devices.
Internal temperature sensor and two optional external sensors. These sensors can measure
environmental factors at several different points within the rack.
