Introduction
The Logical Solution
Thinklogical‟s Power Distribution Unit (PDU 4/4) is an AC Power Switch that provides the ability to
remotely control the power to eight devices. It gives system administrators the capability to restart a
“locked up” network device from anywhere on their network. The PDU 4/4 provides eight individually-
controlled AC power outlets that are switched off and back on as desired. The PDU 4/4 communicates
with its control terminal using a serial interface.
The easy to use, PDU 4/4 provides the means to control all devices with simple commands to turn
Power Off / On to reboot any one port, multiple ports, port groups or all devices. Power restarts can be
sequenced using programmed time delays to minimize surge or allow drive spin-up time. Rear panel
LEDs are also provided to show the status of each port.
Your configuration can be easily expanded by adding PDU 4/4 boxes and a serial cable for each. A
single serial interface integrates the control of all PDU 4/4s in your application. Up to sixteen PDU 4/4s
can be cascaded together to control multiple systems from one common user interface.
Each PDU 4/4 utilizes two banks of four outlets, each outlet individually switches 10 Amperes maximum
with each bank rated at 15 Amperes total. The PDU 4/4 is designed for rack mounting (1U) or desktop.
