Introduction
This guide enables you to install, configure and maintain your Avocent Power Management
Power Distribution Unit (PM PDU).
All Avocent PM PDUs (PM 1000, PM 2000 and PM 3000 PDUs) have strip level metering capabilities. All attached units can also be managed through a web manager, Command Line
Interface (CLI), SNMP or serially in conjunction with several Avocent DSR™ KVM over IP switches, ACS 6000 advanced console servers or with DSView™ 3 management software.
The 2000 and 3000 models both provide outlet level metering capability, while the 3000 model also provides outlet level switching.
Metering capability on all Avocent PM units includes:
• Current - Present, Maximum, Minimum, Average
• Voltage - Present, Maximum, Minimum, Average
• Power - Present, Maximum, Minimum, Average
• Power Factor
• Cumulative Watt Hour
Features and Benefits
Alarms and monitoring
The Avocent PM PDU delivers accurate, real-time global current monitoring of all connected devices via the web manager, DSView 3 software or locally through an LED digital display.
Users can set a current alarm threshold that, once exceeded, will cause the PM PDU to sound an alarm or send a notification message, or both.
1
2 Avocent PM PDU Installer/User Guide
LED display
The PM PDU has an LED that displays aggregate current, phase/bank current, outlet current or temperature. You can use the Function 1 button to switch the type of display and use the
Function 2 button to cycle through different targets. Pressing and holding any function button for two seconds will reset the overcurrent protection.
Power reset button
The PM PDU has a power reset button that can be used to reset the PDU without affecting the power supply to equipment plugged into the PDU.
In-rush current control
The PM PDU incorporates an in-rush current control feature that prevents all power outlet receptacles from turning on at once, eliminating possible current surges that could render the equipment inoperable. Together with the global current monitoring, the in-rush current control feature lets users safely install more equipment on existing power circuits without the worry of current overloads.
Support for daisy chaining
PM PDUs can be daisy chained to increase capacity by connecting the control interfaces of several PM PDUs in a series.
Integration with Avocent management products
The PM PDU can be combined with an ACS 6000 console server or DSR KVM over IP switch to provide power management capabilities and faster problem solving by integrating system access and power control in a single interface. Please refer to the appropriate product documentation for more information on how to use the PM PDU with your specific
implementation.
DSView 3 software plug-in
The DSView 3 software may be used with the PM PDU to allow IT administrators to remotely access, monitor and control target devices on multiple platforms through a single, web-based user interface. For more information, see the DSView 3 Installer/User Guide or the Avocent PM
PDU Technical Bulletin (DSView 3 Software Plug-in).
External sensors
The PM PDU supports external sensors which can monitor a variety of states depending on the model of the sensor. The PM PDU has two RJ-45 connectors which can be used to connect the
Chapter 1: Introduction 3 sensors. Contact your Avocent representative for more information about external sensors for the PM PDU.
Hardware Configuration Options
The PM PDU may be used in one of two hardware configurations:
• Standalone – Managed independently of any other hardware device.
• Daisy chained - Multiple PDUs connected to one another and managed by one main

Rack mount safety considerations
• Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature: If the PM PDU is installed in a closed or multiunit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient temperature.
• Reduced Air Flow:. Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
• Mechanical Loading: Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not created due to uneven mechanical loading.
• Circuit Overloading: Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
• Reliable Grounding: Reliable grounding of rack mounted equipment should be maintained.
Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit, such as power strips or extension cords.
NOTE: Install a PM PDU model in a location where there is an adjacent and accessible socket outlet.
Safety Precautions

Users
There are three standard local user account types supported on a PM PDU: admin, root and user.
38 Avocent PM PDU Installer/User Guide
Local accounts
The admin and root accounts are equivalent users but named differently to address users familiar with either Avocent or Cyclades equipment. Regular users can be granted permissions by administrators at any time. The PM PDU has three user account types:
• admin: Performs the initial network configuration. The factory default password for admin is avocent. The admin user is a member of the admin group and can configure the PM PDU as well as user and group authorizations.
• root: Has the same permissions as the admin user. The factory default password for root is
linux. In the PM PDU, the root user is a member of the admin group and shell-login-profile groups. When a root user logs in via the CONSOLE port, SSH or telnet, the session is predefined by the login profile to go directly to shell. The login profile can be customized so that it does not go directly to shell.
NOTE: Change the default passwords for root and admin before you put the PM PDU into operation.
• Administrator-added regular users: Have limited access to the web manager features based on the group(s) to which they are assigned. Users can change their own passwords.

Accessing a PM PDU via the
Command Line Interface
Access Options and How to Log Into the CLI
The CLI utility can be accessed in the following ways:
• Through a local terminal or a computer that has a terminal emulation program connected to the console port of the console server with session settings of 9600, 8, N and 1, with no flow control.
• After the PM PDU is connected to the network and has an IP address, it can be accessed by one of the following methods:
• An SSH or Telnet client on a remote computer (if the SSH or Telnet protocol is enabled in the selected Security Profile).
• By selecting Web Manager - Overview - Appliance Session.
• With DSView 3 software.
Administrators have full access to the CLI and to connected devices. An administrator can authorize regular users to manage power, manage data buffer storage and use one or more PM
PDU administration tools. Users can always change their own passwords.
To start the CLI:
1.
Access the CLI through the console port, with Telnet or SSH or through the web manager.
2.
Type the username and password at the prompt. The cli-> prompt appears.
Welcome to Avocent PM PDU <host name>.
Type help for more information
--:- / cli->
NOTE: The default password for admin is avocent and for root is linux. The password for these users may have been changed during installation of the PM PDU. If not, change the default root and admin passwords to avoid potential security breaches.

To disable the shell prompt:
By default, logging in as root will display the shell prompt instead of the CLI prompt. To disable this, perform the following steps:
1.
Log into the CLI as admin .
2.
Type cd/users/local_accounts/user_names/root and press enter .
--:-/cli-> cd/users/local_accounts/user_names/root
3.
Type set user_group=admin and press enter .
--:-root cli-> set user_group=admin
4.
Type commit and press enter .
**:-root cli-> commit
Configuration Tasks Performed With the CLI
The navigation structure of the CLI mirrors that of the web manager. Options and parameters are also the same, except that spaces in web manager options and parameters are replaced with underscores (_), as in: system_tools. Examples that show how to select an option in the web manager use a dash surrounded by two spaces ( - ). In the CLI, two similar options in a path are separated by a forward slash (/).
For example, in the web manager, user configuration is done when an administrator selects
Users - Local Accounts - User Names to get to the User Names screen. To navigate to the equivalent configuration level in the CLI, an administrator would use the cd command followed by the path: cd /users/local_accounts/user_names.
Administrators should log into the CLI in one window and log into the web manager in another window to see how the menu options in the web manager map to the navigation options in the CLI.
CLI Navigation
The CLI navigation options are in a nested tree configuration.
NOTE: When a command line is shown in an example, and the step starts with “Enter,” or when a syntax example is given, the user should type the command as shown and then press Enter. The Enter key is not shown in command line examples unless needed for clarity.
When a user logs in the CLI, the prompt indicates the user is at the / level.
--:- / cli->
No parameters can be set at this level of the navigation tree.
Chapter 4: Accessing a PM PDU via the Command Line Interface 49
At any CLI prompt at any level, if you type cd and press Tab Tab, the navigation options
(path elements) for that level are listed. Different options appear for administrators and for authorized users.
• When an administrator types the cd command and then presses Tab Tab at the / prompt, the following navigation options (path elements) appear.
--:- / cli-> cd<Tab><Tab> access/ change_password/ network/ system_tools/ active_sessions/ events_and_logs/ power_management/ users/ authentication/ monitoring/ system/
• When a regular user types the cd command and then presses Tab Tab at the / prompt, the following navigation options appear.
--:- / cli-> cd<Tab><Tab> access/ power_management/ change_password/
Enter cd <one_or_more_path_elements> to move down one or more levels of the navigation tree.
--:- / cli-> cd system_tools
A prompt like the following appears at each level.
--:- system_tools cli->
NOTE: CLI commands are case sensitive.
At any level, you can press Tab Tab at the prompt to see the commands that can be entered at the current level.
---:- system_tools cli->< Tab><Tab> cd passwd shell commit pwd show exit quit shutdown ftp reboot upgrade_firmware help restore_configuration whoami hostname revert wiz ls save_configuration opiepasswd scp
If you know the path, you can enter multiple path elements in a single command separated with forward slashes (/).
--:- / cli-> cd network/devices/
50 Avocent PM PDU Installer/User Guide
--:- devices cli->
Enter cd.. to move up one level of the navigation tree. Enter cd ../..[/..] to move up multiple levels.
--:- devices cli-> cd ../..
--:- / cli->
Autocompletion
Autocompletion allows you to type the first few letters of a command or navigation option and then press Tab. The rest of the name is filled in automatically if the letters typed are unique to one command or to a navigation option at that level. If the letters match more than one of the commands or navigation options for that level, the matching options are listed.
For example, if you type cd acc and press Tab at the CLI prompt from the / level, the access option will be completed.
--:- / cli-> cd acc<Tab>
--:- / cli-> cd access
If you then press Enter, you are changed to the access level and the access level prompt appears.
--:- access cli->
The following example illustrates a case when more than one command matches the letters typed.
--:- / cli-> sh<Tab> shell show
Parameters
Some CLI commands take parameters. If you press Tab Tab after a command that requires a parameter, you are prompted to enter the parameter.
Command Line Syntax
NOTE: Square brackets ([ ]) denote an optional element. Each element is separated by a space. There are no spaces between sub-elements.

Also allows an authorized user to set the polling rate to retrieve data from daisychained PDUs, set the power cycle interval, syslog, buzzer and SW overcurrent protection and enableor disable data logging.
Lists all configured outlet groups that the current user is authorized to manage (to manage outlet groups, the user must be in a user group that is authorized to manage all the outlets in the outlet group). An administrator can configure outlet groups.
Allows an authorized user to clear or export data logging for PDU, phase, bank, outlet or environment.
To rename a PDU:
1.
Log onto the CLI as an administrator and type cd power_management/pdus to navigate to the pdus level.
--:- / cli-> cd power_management/pdus
2.
Type rename and press Tab Tab to expand the parameters.
--:- settings cli-> rename <PDU_ID> <Tab><Tab>
3.
Type set newpdu_id=<new_PDU_ID>.
--:#- [settings] cli-> set new_pdu_id= mypdu
--:#- [settings] save
To manage power for a selected outlet:
See cycle, on, off, lock and unlock on page 55 for how to manage power at the power_
management level.
Active Sessions Information
The Active Session information fields are described in Active Sessions Information on page 71.
An authorized user can kill an active session with the Kill command.

Appendix A: Accessing a PM PDU via SNMP
Using a machine with an SNMP-client application, an administrator can configure PDU power parameters using snmpset and snmpget commands. An administrator can, for example, change the PDU's name, change an outlet's name or change the current thresholds of an outlet. A complete list of configurable parameters can be found in the PDU's MIB file.
Configuration via SNMP will take effect upon completion of the command. To save the configuration across reboots, you must issue the save command.
To use SNMP, you must enable it and configure it on the PDU. To enable and configure SNMP
with the web manager, see Security on page 25 and SNMP configuration on page 34. To
enable and configure SNMP with the CLI, see System/Security on page 58 and Network/SNMP on page 67.
NOTE: When using snmpset commands, especially in a daisy-chained configuration, it is recommended you extend the time-out with no retries. The time-out should depend on the command and the length of the chain. For example, issuing a save command or power cycling outlets will need a longer time-out.
Example of an SNMP command to rename the PDU:
#snmpset -t 60 -r 0 -v 2c -c <community> <IP address>
pmPowerMgmtPDUTablePDUTablePduId.1.1 s NewPDUname
Example of an SNMP command to rename an outlet:
#snmpset -t 60 -r 0 -v 2c -c <community> <IP address>
pmPowerMgmtOutletsTableName.1.1.1 s NewOut1
Example of an SNMP command to change the high critical threshold on an outlet:
#snmpset -t 60 -r 0 -v 2c -c <community> <IP address>
pmPowerMgmtOutletsTableCurrentHighCritical.1.1.1 i 100
Example of an SNMP command to save:
#snmpset -t 60 -r 0 -v 2c -c <community> <IP address> pmPowerMgmtSerialTableSave.1 i 2
NOTE: Some PDU models don't support the entire set of configurable parameters. In this instance, the snmpset command will fail and the snmpget command will return 0 for integer OIDs and N/A for strings.

Appendix D: Replacing the Fuses (For Service Personnel Only)
This product contains replaceable fuses. To avoid serious injury and/or damage to your
Avocent PM PDU, make sure:
• The PDU is disconnected from a power source and all connected devices are turned off before replacing a fuse.
• Fuses are replaced with an Avocent approved branch circuit fuse class G time delay type with 20A 600 VAC rating.
CAUTION: Avocent recommends using the Avocent fuse replacement kit. Avocent is not responsible for any issues that may occur using any other vendor’s fuse replacement kit.
• Fuses are replaced by qualified personnel.
• Fuses are denoted with the following markings on the board: FC1-FC2, FC3-FC4, FC5-
FC6, FC7-FC8, FC9-FC10, FC11-FC12, FC13-FC14, FC15-FC16, FC17-FC18, FC19-FC20,
FC21-FC22, FC23-FC24, FC1-FC5, FC2-FC6, FC3-FC7, FC4-FC8 . Refer to Appendix B for fuse(s) to outlet(s) correlation.
WARNING: There is a risk of explosion if the lithium battery is replaced with an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
CAUTION: Double pole/neutral fusing.
