shown:

2.3 Connecting Digital Outputs
The IP Power Manager provides two digital outputs (NO by default) to which you can
connect indicators
or other output devices that are normally open (NO) or normally closed
(NC). The digital output connectors are work as a switch to let you switch the connected
device On or Off. The connectors will not provide power to the connected device. So the
connected device should connect with its power adapter. You can
control the digital outputs
remotely through the console or over the LAN.
2.4 Connecting EMD
