Optional Accessories
Sensors
Sensors are optional accessories. You can use the eco PDU unit without
sensors. However, if you want to have complete energy management of an
instrumented data center with the use of the eco PDU, you would need to use
eco DC, a management web GUI, and install 4 sensors for each of the racks to
generate a complete energy-efficient data and chart. 8-port models have 2
sensor ports. In this case, sensor 1 needs to be installed at the intake of the rack
and sensor 2 needs to be placed at the exhaust of IT equipment of the rack. A
sensor-enabled installation is required to generate a more complete energy-
efficient data and chart. Higher sensor installation density is helpful to generate
more accurate data. Available sensors are shown in the table, below:
Sensor Management
Sensors can be managed via the eco PDU’s built-in graphical user interface
(GUI) or with NRGence eco DC that can be downloaded from the ATEN
website. The download link can be found on the software CD provided with the
eco PDU package.
Cable Holders
Cable holders are optional accessories. For added safety, use ATEN Lok-U-
Plug cable holders to secure the connecting cables of your attached devices in
place on the eco PDU. Use only the ATEN Lok-U-Plug cable holders that have
been specifically designed to work with eco PDU. Using any other types of
cable securing device could be highly dangerous.
