Introduction

Overview

ATEN PE6216 / PE6324 eco PDUs are intelligent PDUs that contain 16 or 24

AC outlets for convenient and efficient data center power usage management,

and are available in various IEC or NEMA socket configurations.

They provide secure, centralized, intelligent, power management (power on,

off, cycle) for data center IT equipment (servers, storage systems, KVM

switches, network devices, serial data devices, etc.), as well as the ability to

monitor the center's health environment via sensors*. The basic characteristics

of each model are shown in the table on page 3.

ATEN eco PDUs offer remote power control combined with real-time power

measurement - allowing you to control and monitor the power status of devices

attached to the PDUs, either at the PDU device or outlet level, from practically

any location via a TCP/IP connection.

The power status of each outlet can be set individually, allowing users to switch

each device On/Off. The eco PDU also offers comprehensive power analysis

reports which can separate departments and locations, providing precise

measurements of current, voltage, power and watt-hour in a real-time display.

Installation and operation is fast and easy: plugging cables into their

appropriate ports and user-friendly browser-based configuration and

management is all that is entailed. Since the eco PDU firmware is upgradeable

over the Net, you can stay current with the latest functionality improvements

simply by downloading updates from our website as they become available.

ATEN eco PDU supports any 3rd party V1, V2, V3 SNMP Manager Software

and ATEN eco DC (eco PDU manager web GUI). eco DC provides you with

an easy method for managing multiple devices, offering an intuitive and user-

friendly graphical user interface that allows you to configure a PDU device and

monitor power status of the equipment connected to it.

With its advanced security features and ease of operation, the eco PDU is the

most convenient, most reliable, and most cost effective way to remotely

manage power access for multiple computer installations and allocate power

resources in the most efficient way possible.
