LED Displays show power draw (amperage) at the iPDU and can scroll through individual C19 outlet
(load segments), and individual C13 outlets on the Intelligent Extension Bars.
All PDU Extension Bars (overview)
All iPDU Extension bars are sold in pairs.
Each Extension bar has five IEC C13 outlets for connection to external equipment.
Extension Bars can be mounted in the rear of the rack to ease cable management.
Individual extension bars do not extend into the maintenance zone between RETMA rails at the rear
of the rack.
Extension Bars have power indicators and UID LEDs
Extension bars have bright blue PLC IEC C20 input connectors for use with HP Intelligent PDU Core
Units.
Intelligent PDU Extension Bars G2
Each Intelligent Extension Bar is 5U in height and has 5 individually monitored and switchable IEC
C13 outlets.
Each IEC C13 outlet has a status indicator and UID LED that is activated when scrolling through the
local display unit or remotely via the embedded web engine.
Each IEC C13 on the Intelligent Extension Bar incorporates bright blue PLC connections to
communicate with HP Common Slot Platinum Power Supplies with PLC.
Standard IEC C14 jumper cables can be used with the Intelligent Extension bars for powering non-
IPD enabled devices.
Each IEC C13 outlet on the Intelligent Extension Bar is capable of remote power cycling or remote
lock out to prevent unauthorized equipment from being installed in the rack.
Each IEC C13 outlet on the Intelligent Extension Bar has an automatic 100mS per outlet start delay
and can be user programmed for restart delays of up to 999 seconds on a per outlet basis.
The Intelligent Extension Bar G2 has an automatic outlet numbering systems that maintains
consistent outlet identification so that Outlet Number 1 will always be the top of the Extension Bar
independent of which side of the rack the Intelligent Extension Bar G2 is mounted on.
The inlet cable on the Intelligent Extension Bar G2 has been moved to the back of the bar to ease
installation and improve cable routing to the iPDU Core.
Standard PDU Extension Bars (non-intelligent)
Standard Extension Bars can be mounted side by side for high density or redundant applications.
Standard Extension bars are monitored as a single load segment of 5 x C13 outlets at the IEC C19
outlet on the Intelligent PDU Core Unit.
Standard Extension Bars have a power indicator and UID LED that is activated when scrolling
through the local display unit or remotely via the embedded web engine.
Power line communications (Power Discovery Services (PDS) enabled) power cables
Each PDS enabled power cable incorporates RS232 serial connections to enable Power Discovery
Services.
Power Discovery Services uses out of band power line communications to transfer server identity
information between the HP Common Slot Platinum Power Supplies and the HP Intelligent PDU's
Intelligent Extension Bars and automatically maps the server to outlets on the iPDU.
PDS enabled cables and connectors conform to standard IEC specifications and sizes.
When combined with HP ProLiant rack mount servers all outlets can be used with either PDS enabled
power cables or standard IEC jumper cables. Power Discovery Services requires PDS enabled power
