
All internal sensors become "unavailable", including sensors of
inlets, outlets, and OCPs.
Exception: Only active energy data remains available.

Communications with relay/meter boards are lost. Therefore,
firmware upgrade may fail due to this reason.
Available data or operations on the PDU that enters the
power-sharing mode:

Change software settings, such as customizing names, modifying
network settings, configuring thresholds, and so on.
Note: Outlet switching is not available because all outlets lose
power.

Monitor the status of connected Raritan environmental sensor
packages, or configure/control their settings.

Operate the front panel display.
Events that occur when entering the power-sharing mode:

The 12V power supply sensor enters the fault state. See
Transfer
Switch and Inlet Status
(on page 169).
Tip: You can set an event rule for sending a notification when this
sensor enters the fault state. See
Event Rules and Actions (on page
329).

The above event is logged in the internal event log. See
Default Log
Messages
(on page 336).
To find whether an iX7
™
has entered the power-sharing mode:

Check the state of its +12V power supply sensor.
Making a Power-Sharing Connection
Make sure BOTH iX7
™
devices comply with the configuration limitations
when establishing a power-sharing connection. See
Power-Sharing
Configurations and Restrictions
(on page 40).
The supported maximum power-sharing distance is 2 meters.
Make a power-sharing connection:
1. Get a standard network patch cable (Cat5e/6), which can be up to 2
meters long.

Do NOT use a crossover cable.
2. Connect one end to an iX7
™
device's EXPANSION port, and the other
