Setting Up and Configuring Power Management
Administrators most commonly assign power management permissions to
users and configure ports for power management using the Web Manager.
However, the OSD also offers menus for configuring power management on
local devices.
Two types of power management can be set up and configured on the KVM:
• Power management of any device plugged into an IPDU connected to the
AUX port.
See “Controlling Power Through the Web Manager IPDU Power
Management Forms” on page 35.
• Power management while accessing a server connected to a KVM port and
plugged into an IPDU connected to the AUX port.
See “Controlling Power While Connected to KVM Ports” on page 36
The following set up and configuration tasks must be performed for both
types of power management:
