Introduction

Overview

As part of its NRGence line, ATEN has developed a new generation of green

energy power distribution units (eco PDUs) to effectively increase the

efficiency of data center power usage. The NRGence PE7214 / PE7216 /

PE7324 / PE7328 / PE8121kJ / PE8216 / PE8316G / PE8324 / PE8324A /

PE8324JA / PE9216 / PE9222 / PE9324 / PE9330 eco PDUs are intelligent

PDUs that contain 14, 16, 21, 22, 24, 28, or 30 AC outlets and are available in

various IEC socket configurations. Models in the advanced PE9 range feature

a dedicated 8/14-outlet bank for critical load devices, and both the PE8 and PE9

ranges feature NRGence’s proactive overload protection, which automatically

powers off the last outlet that caused the current overload.

NRGence eco PDUs provide secure, centralized, intelligent, power

management (power on, off, cycle) of 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.

NRGence 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, bank, or outlet level,

depending on the model, 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.

NRGence eco PDU supports any 3rd party V3 SNMP Manager Software and

NRGence eco Sensors (eco PDU Manager Software). eco Sensors provides

you with an easy method for managing multiple devices, offering an intuitive

Chapter 1. Introduction

2

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.

Note: 1. Sensors are optional accessories. 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. See Optional Accessories, page 9, for further information.

2. eco PDUs are primarily designed for access via Intranet; extra

network security protection is suggested for Internet access usage.

3. Not all models support all features. See Comparison Chart, page 3,

and Specifications, page 83, for full details.

eco Sensors Energy Management Software*

 Automatic discovery of all PE devices within the same intranet

 Remote real-time power measurement and monitoring

 Real-time environment sensor monitoring

 Plotting/monitoring of all PE devices

 Exceed threshold alert through SMTP and System log

 Power Analysis report

Note: eco Sensors is designed to work with NRGence PDUs, and is bundled

with all PE series packages.

Proactive Overload Protection (POP)

The PE8121kJ, PE8216, PE8316G, PE8324, PE8324A, PE8324JA, PE9216,

PE9222, PE9324, and PE9330 models feature NRGence’s exclusive Proactive

Overload Protection (POP) technology. Effective on all non-critical outlets,

this added safety feature automatically powers off the last outlet that caused the

current overload.

POP mode is engaged when the current exceeds the set threshold maximum

value, powering off the outlet. The LED display shows POP and a beeper

sounds. Press any button for two seconds to clear POP mode and power the

outlet back on.

Optional Accessories

Environment Sensors

For complete energy management of an instrumented data center with the use

of the eco PDU and eco Sensors software, you should install 4 sensors for each

of the racks in your data center in order to generate a complete energy-efficient

data chart. Higher sensor installation density is helpful to generate more

accurate data. 8/16-port models have 4 sensor ports. Higher sensor installation

density is helpful to generate more accurate data.

To get the most complete eco Sensors Dashboard data, the recommended 4-

sensor setup is show in the table, below:

Door Sensor

All models in the PE7xxx/PE8xxx/PE9xxx range feature a 4-pin dry contact

port for door sensors that supports the monitoring of rackmount enclosure door

access to notify users when a door has been opened.

See the table below for information about the two available door sensors.

Please contact your ATEN dealer for purchasing information:

Sensor Management

Sensors can be managed via the eco PDU’s built-in graphical user interface

(GUI) or with the NRGence eco Sensors software 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 cables from your attached devices in place on

the eco PDU unit. Use only the ATEN Lok-U-Plug cable holders that have

been specifically designed to work with the eco PDU. Using any other kind of

cable securing device could be highly dangerous.
