Specifying the Device Altitude
This command specifies your PX3 device's altitude above sea level (in
meters). You must specify the PX3 device's altitude above sea level if a
Raritan's DPX differential air pressure sensor is attached. This is
because the device's altitude is associated with the altitude correction
factor. See
Altitude Correction Factors (on page 803).
config:# pdu deviceAltitude <altitude>
Variables:

<altitude> is an integer between -425 and 3000 meters.

Note that the lower limit "-425" is a negative value because some
locations are below the seal level.
Setting the Z Coordinate Format for Environmental Sensors
This command enables or disables the use of rack units for specifying
the height (Z coordinate) of environmental sensors.
config:# pdu externalSensorsZCoordinateFormat <option>
Variables:

<option> is one of the options:
rackUnits or freeForm.
Option Description
rackUnits The height of the Z coordinate is measured in
standard rack units.
When this is selected, you can type a numeric
value in the rack unit to describe the Z coordinate
of any environmental sensors or actuators.
freeForm Any alphanumeric string can be used for
specifying the Z coordinate.
Note: After determining the format for the Z coordinate, you can set a
value for it. See
Setting the Z Coordinate (on page 585).
