PM 1000/2000/3000
Power Distribution Units (PM PDUs)
Avocent Power Management
The Avocent PM PDUs include single-phase and three-phase models that support strip-level metering, outlet-level metering or outlet-level metering and switching. This advanced family of rack PDUs includes horizontal and vertical models for a variety of rack configurations in branch and remote offices.
The PM PDUs include an LED display and a built-in browser interface for local and remote access to real-time data. The metering features, along with the capability to set custom thresholds, allow companies to optimize their electrical infrastructure, without the risk of downtime due to overloaded circuits.
The PM 1000 PDUs enable companies of all sizes to accurately measure the current, voltage and power for the entire strip and the circuits within. The PM 2000 and PM 3000 PDUs take this a step further to support outlet-level metering and switching capability (PM 3000 PDUs only) to provide data center professionals the tools they need to monitor, measure, reduce and manage the growing power consumption costs of IT equipment.
All of these PDUs include advanced features that consist of a built-in network port for access to the browser interface, daisy chain ports for easy installation and expansion and support for external environmental sensors.

Quick Facts
• Measure and monitor voltage, current, power (kW) and energy
(kWh) consumption
• Create thresholds to generate alerts/notifications
• Remote switching capability to power on/off outlets (PM 3000
PDU models)
• Flexible installation - IP and serial interface options
• Chaining option allows multiple
PDUs to share an IP or serial connection
• Supports external, environmental sensors for measuring temperature and humidity
• Onboard data log for individual
PDU activity logs and historical data
• Can be managed directly or integrated with other Avocent solutions using the DSView® 3 management software
• Optional DSView 3 software Power
Manager plug-in for historical reporting across multiple PDUs

Avocent can help you answer questions like:
• Do you have sufficient tools in place in order to understand the details about your current, voltage and power?
• Do you know how much power each piece of equipment is consuming?
• Do you know your energy consumption costs?
• Do you have the capability to cycle the power to your local and remote servers?
• How do you limit who has permission to power cycle equipment, and how is that activity logged?
• Do you need to provide power to high amp equipment like blade servers and larger network switches?
• When you install new equipment, how do you ensure that you have power available?
• How can you prevent overdrawing your power circuits to prevent unnecessary downtime?
• Do you need to supply a network connection for each metered PDU?
• Are you looking for tools to help justify the purchase of new energyefficient hardware?
Alarms and monitoring
Thresholds can be created to allow data center teams to know before problems occur, minimizing downtime caused by overloaded circuits. The Avocent PM PDUs deliver accurate, real-time, 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, send a notification message or both.
Flexible management options
Avocent PDUs can be combined with an ACS 6000 advanced console server or MergePoint Unity®
KVM over IP and serial console switch appliances to provide faster problem solving by integrating system access and power control in a single interface. Now you can see the remote devices and control their power using an integrated approach that allows you to actually see the remote device as it powers up or reboots. This integration provides instant feedback when critical issues are being resolved remotely.
DSView 3 management software integration
The DSView 3 software provides access and control to nearly all equipment found in today’s data centers. The DSView 3 software Power
Manager plug-in extends the capability of the DSView 3 software by giving companies the ability to monitor and measure IT energy consumption, costs and trends across all levels within their data centers and remote locations. With the PM PDUs, this information allows a professional to look at individual devices, a rack of equipment or a row of equipment and group items together to view overall consumptions, capacity and costs across many locations or just a single device.
Measure both power and energy consumption
Many PDUs measure the available current at the strip level to ensure the integrity of power to the attached equipment. The PM PDUs also provide additional measurements in order to measure the energy consumption at the strip level (PM 1000 PDU models) or down to individual outlets (PM 2000 and PM 3000 PDU models). This energy measurement allows companies to implement chargeback policies, more accurately budget for expansion and measure the financial impacts of any changes.
Environmental sensor support
To get even more capabilities out of the PM PDUs, environmental sensors can be added to measure conditions at several locations within a rack. These sensors include chaining capabilities to enable a single PDU to support up to six sensors in order to measure temperature and humidity. Thresholds and alerts allow early detection to avoid downtime and equipment damage.
Features and benefits
• Outlet-Level, Phase-Level and Strip-Level Metering with Threshold/Alert
Capabilities – Provides preemptive notification of any impending overload issues before they occur and simplifies the task of installing new equipment
Note - measurement resolution +/- 5%
• Capability to Remotely Switch Outlets Through Onboard Web Interface,
DSView 3 Management Software – Allows power to hung up IT equipment to be recycled, turned on or turned off remotely for faster resolution time (not available on
PM 1000 or PM 2000 PDUs)
• Onboard Web Interface – Can be installed for direct access right out of the box or it can be configured as part of a larger integrated solution using the DSView 3 management software
• IP and Serial Interface Options – Options to install by connecting directly to the network or save IP connections by using the serial interface to connect directly to
Avocent appliances already connected to the network
• Daisy Chaining – Saves the number of IP addresses or console/KVM ports that are required to manage all power distribution needs
• Integration with DSView 3 Management Software – Single interface for management of IT equipment and PDUs simplifies mapping of outlets to servers and other equipment in order to reduce and minimize power cycling the wrong equipment
• Integration with DSView 3 Software Power Manager Plug-In – Track historical trends to measure and monitor IT power consumption, capacity and cost in order to understand what issues exist and to make more informed decisions in the future
• Electronic Overcurrent Protection (OCP) – An added layer of protection that is activated in the event of minor overloads; during such events, outlets are turned off first instead of the primary OCP tripping
• Sequential Startup – Protects integrity of all upstream electrical infrastructure by staggering the inrush current draw of all plugged-in devices
• Supports Environmental Sensors – Chain up to six environmental sensors per PDU to measure and monitor temperature and humidity at several different points within the rack for notification of any impending environmental issues
