Power device settings
Depending on the power device type, the configurable parameters may differ. The following tables describe the parameters viewable when an Avocent PM PDU, Cyclades PM IPDU, an Avocent SPC power control device or a Server Technology Sentry CDU or PTXL model is used.
SW Overcurrent Protection
Enable or disable Software Overcurrent protection. If the current on the power device exceeds the user-defined current high critical threshold, this function prevents outlets from being turned on.
The ratio of the real power to the apparent power; a number between 0 and 1 that is frequently expressed as a percentage. Real power is the capacity of the circuit for performing work in a particular time. Apparent power is the product of the current and voltage of the circuit.
LED Display Refresh Period (seconds)
Triggers an enabled trap when a drop in the current below the defined minimum current threshold is reached. This value should be set between 0 and 30.
Triggers an enabled trap when a reading above the defined maximum current threshold is reached. This value should be set between 0 and 30.
(Server Technology Sentry CDU and PTXL models only)
When turning on multiple sockets at the same time, this is the delay time (in seconds) between operations on each socket (valid only on master Server Technology Sentry CDU and PTXL models).
Number of seconds that a socket’s power stays off before it is turned back on (valid only on master Server Technology Sentry CDU and PTXL models).
The ratio of the real power to the apparent power; a number between 0 and 1 that is frequently expressed as a percentage. Real power is the capacity of the circuit for performing work in a particular time. Apparent power is the product of the current and voltage of the circuit.
To change power device settings:
Click Appliance Settings - Ports - Power Devices in the side navigation bar.
Modify the power device parameters. For more information, see the Avocent PM PDU and Cyclades PM IPDU Configuration Parameters table, or the Avocent SPC Power Control Device and Server Technology Sentry CDU and PTXL Models Configuration Parameters table.
