This upgradeable, outlet-level EC Monitored rPDU delivers not only dependable power delivery to critical IT equipment but also a comprehensive, real-time view of power usage at the outlet level through secure remote network access. The integrated environmental monitoring capabilities provide a temperature, humidity, and airflow picture that helps you optimize cooling, prevent hotspots, and extend the life of your hardware. Designed to adapt with evolving IT environments, the DUR5MGW1-24CF17-1S02A9K00-S-A grows with your workloads while maintaining tight control over energy costs and uptime goals.
- Outlet-level monitoring with remote access: Each of the 24 outlets can be individually monitored for voltage, current, wattage, and power factor, giving facility and IT teams precise visibility into how power is consumed by every server, switch, or storage device. Remote access means administrators can view live outlet data, set thresholds, collect historical trends, and respond quickly to anomalies from anywhere on the network, reducing mean time to repair and improving overall resilience.
- Environmental sensing for proactive cooling: The rPDU integrates environmental sensors that track ambient temperature, humidity, and airflow at the rack level. This data helps operators identify cooling inefficiencies, prevent thermal throttling, and support smarter placement of equipment. Real-time metrics enable dynamic workload placement and informed decisions about row cooling and airflow management to maintain optimal operating conditions.
- Upgradeable architecture for future-proofing: The DUR5MGW1 platform is designed to adapt as your data center evolves. Firmware upgrade paths, modular sensor options, and flexible power configurations ensure you can add capabilities or adjust monitoring features without replacing the entire unit. This upgradeability translates into a lower total cost of ownership and a longer usable life for your PDU in fast-changing environments.
- Reliability, safety, and ease of management: With robust protection features, including overload protection, fault isolation, and secure remote management, this PDU supports high-availability deployments. Centralized management options and compatibility with standard DCIM tools streamline administration, while alerting and auto-response features help prevent outages and protect critical workloads during power disturbances.
- Massive scalability with 24 outlets in a compact footprint: The 24-outlet configuration delivers ample distribution capacity within a compact form factor, making it ideal for dense rack deployments. The unit supports organized outlet grouping, outlet-level policies, and easy reconfiguration as equipment footprints change, ensuring efficient space utilization without sacrificing visibility or control.

How to install Geist rPDU DUR5MGW1-24CF17-1S02A9K00-S-A 24-Outlets PDU
Installing the Geist rPDU is a straightforward process designed to minimize downtime and maximize visibility from day one. Begin by verifying rack compatibility and ensuring you have sufficient clearance and ventilation for the unit and its outlets. Prepare the rack by aligning mounting rails and securing the rPDU at the desired mounting height, typically in the top or middle section of the cabinet to optimize cable management and airflow. Connect the primary power feed to a properly rated circuit, following all local electrical codes and safety protocols. Attach the rPDU to the network (Ethernet or other supported management interfaces) to enable remote monitoring and control. Once powered, initialize the device through the web-based management interface or the designated DCIM integration, configure outlet groups, and enable environmental sensors. Establish alert thresholds for voltage, current, temperature, humidity, and any other monitored metrics, and test notifications to confirm that alarm routes are correctly configured. Finally, perform a functional test by powering a representative load through several outlets, validate real-time measurements, verify that data is being logged, and confirm that you can access the outlet-level data remotely from multiple workstations or devices. Routine post-install checks should include verifying sensor calibration, confirming firmware version against the latest release, and validating that all targeted outlets are reporting correctly. For ongoing maintenance, schedule firmware updates during maintenance windows and document any configuration changes to ensure consistent monitoring and alerting across the environment.
Frequently asked questions
- What is an rPDU? An rPDU (remote Power Distribution Unit) is a power distribution device designed for data centers and IT environments that not only delivers power to multiple outlets but also provides remote monitoring and control capabilities. In the Geist rPDU, this includes outlet-level power metrics, environmental sensing, and the ability to configure alerts and automate responses from a centralized management interface.
- What does outlet-level monitoring provide? Outlet-level monitoring gives visibility into the electrical usage and status of each individual outlet. This means you can track which devices are consuming the most power, identify abnormal loads, optimize energy efficiency, and quickly isolate issues that could trigger outages or equipment stress, all without physically inspecting every device.
- How does environmental monitoring help my data center? Environmental sensors monitor critical conditions such as temperature, humidity, and airflow near the equipment in your rack. This data helps prevent thermal hotspots, informs cooling strategies, supports proactive maintenance, and can contribute to longer hardware life and better energy utilization.
- Is the Geist rPDU upgradeable? Yes. The DUR5MGW1 platform is designed with upgradeable firmware and modular options to accommodate evolving IT needs. This means you can add features or adjust capabilities over time without replacing the entire PDU, protecting your initial investment.
- How do I manage this rPDU? Management is typically performed through a secure web UI, SNMP/DCIM integrations, or other Geist-supported management platforms. This enables centralized monitoring, alerting, data collection, and policy enforcement across multiple PDUs and racks, helping operators maintain consistent control over power usage and environmental conditions.
