Question
Answer
What type of power strips does
Dominion KX III support?
Raritan’s Dominion PX
™
and Remote Power
Control (RPC) power strips.
These come in many outlet, connector and
amp variations. Note that you should not
connect the PM series of power strips to the
Dominion KX III as these power strips do not
provide outlet-level switching.
How many PDUs can be
connected to a Dominion KX III?
Up to eight PDUs can be connected to a
Dominion KX III device.
How do I connect the PDU to the
Dominion KX III?
The D2CIM-PWR is used to connect the power
strip to the Dominion KX III. The D2CIM-PWR
must be purchased separately; it does not
come with the PDU.
Does Dominion KX III support
servers with multiple power
supplies?
Yes. Dominion KX III can be easily configured
to support servers with multiple power supplies
connected to multiple power strips. Four power
supplies can be connected per target server.
Does the Dominion KX III display
statistics and measurements from
the PDU?
Yes. PDU-level power statistics, including
power, current and voltage, are retrieved from
the PDU and displayed to the user.
Does remote power control require
any special configuration of
attached servers?
Some servers ship with default BIOS settings
such that the server does not automatically
restart after losing and regaining power. For
these servers, see the server’s documentation
to change this setting.
What happens when I recycle
power to a server?
Note that this is the physical equivalent of
unplugging the server from the AC power line,
and reinserting the plug.
