The ATEN PE6208A is an intelligent and eco - friendly Power Distribution Unit (PDU) designed for data centers. It features 8 AC outlets with various IEC or NEMA socket configurations. This PDU offers secure, centralized, and intelligent power management for IT equipment like servers, storage systems, KVM switches, network devices, and serial data devices. You can turn the power on, off, or cycle it remotely. Moreover, it can monitor the data center's environmental health via sensors. The eco PDUs combine remote power control with real - time power measurement. Through a TCP/IP connection, you can control and monitor the power status of connected devices from anywhere. It supports 3rd - party v3 SNMP Manager Software and the eco DC (Energy Management Web GUI). The eco DC provides an intuitive and user - friendly interface for managing multiple devices, configuring PDU settings, and monitoring power status. It also generates comprehensive power analysis reports by department and location, showing real - time current, voltage, power, and watt - hour measurements. With advanced security features and easy operation, the ATEN PE6208A is the most convenient, reliable, and cost - effective solution for remote power management and efficient power resource allocation. Key features include a space - saving 1U rack - mount design, 3 - digit 7 - segment front - panel LED for current/IP display, remote outlet status monitoring via web browsers, safe shutdown support, and separate power for the unit and its outlets. It also has a wide range of network interfaces, supports SNMP Manager V3, and offers various power management functions such as power - on sequencing and proactive overload protection. Technical specifications cover electrical details like nominal input voltage (100 - 120 VAC), maximum input current (20A Max; 16A UL - de - rated), and physical properties like dimensions (43.24 x 22.04 x 4.40 cm) and weight (2.79 kg).
Using the ATEN PE6208A PDU is quite straightforward. First, make sure to connect the PDU to a proper power source using the provided power cord. The input connection is a NEMA 5 - 20P, and ensure the voltage and frequency match the specifications (100 - 120 VAC, 50 - 60 Hz). Then, plug in your IT equipment into the 8 available outlets. You can manage the power of each outlet individually through the web - based user interface. Just open your browser (it supports IE, Firefox, Chrome, Safari) and access the PDU's IP address. Here, you can turn the power on, off, or cycle it, set power - on sequences and delay times, and monitor the power status in real - time. Regarding the environmental sensors, if you want to monitor the data center's environment, connect them to the two available sensor ports. When it comes to maintenance, keep the PDU in a clean and dry environment. The operating temperature should be between 0 - 50°C, and the humidity should be 0 - 80% RH, non - condensing. Regularly check the LED indicators on the front panel for current and IP address information. Also, make sure to keep the firmware up - to - date to ensure the best performance and security. Be aware of the power ratings. The maximum input current is 20A Max (16A UL - de - rated), and each outlet has its own maximum current limit. If an overload occurs, the Proactive Overload Protection (POP) will automatically power off outlets in the user - defined sequence to protect your devices. Finally, use strong passwords for the user and administrator accounts to enhance security, and follow the two - level password security system.
