Middle Atlantic Premium PDU with RackLink Temperature and Humidity Sensor

Discover the pinnacle of data-center readiness with the Middle Atlantic Premium PDU featuring RackLink temperature and humidity sensing. This IP-controlled power distribution unit is engineered to do more than supply reliable power; it delivers intelligent environmental monitoring, secure remote management, and integrative control for critical rack ecosystems. Built on a platform trusted for its security and performance in some of the most demanding networks worldwide, the Premium+ PDU simplifies remote system management while elevating the protection and efficiency of your IT infrastructure. Whether you’re leveling up a server room, a broadcast facility, or a high-density data closet, this PDU pairs robust electrical distribution with precise environmental awareness to help you prevent outages, optimize energy use, and extend equipment life.

• Real-time environmental visibility: Integrated RackLink temperature and humidity sensors provide continuous, real-time readings directly from the rack environment. Monitor trends, set thresholds, and receive instant alerts to protect sensitive hardware from overheating, humidity fluctuations, or condensation, all without leaving your monitoring dashboard.
• Secure IP control and remote management: The Premium PDU is designed for IP-based control, enabling remote power cycling, outlet-level control, and centralized management across multiple racks. This capability supports scheduled maintenance, rapid fault isolation, and scalable administration for growing data centers or media facilities.
• Advanced power distribution and protection: Distribute power reliably with sophisticated load management, surge protection, and fault-tolerant design. With clearly labeled outlets and intelligent sequencing, you can protect critical loads during power events and ensure an orderly startup/shutdown sequence for connected equipment.
• Effortless installation and maintenance: Engineered for standard 19-inch racks with a modular, easy-to-install form factor. Clear labeling, durable construction, and low-profile cabling simplify ongoing maintenance, while remote monitoring reduces the need for on-site visits and manual inspections.
• Energy efficiency and ecosystem compatibility: The PDU’s reporting and sensing capabilities enable smarter energy use and lifecycle planning. It integrates with Middle Atlantic’s RackLink ecosystem and compatible rack-management software, supporting consistent assets management across your facility and helping you meet sustainability goals.

How to install Middle Atlantic Premium PDU with RackLink Temperature and Humidity Sensor

• 1. Plan and prepare: Confirm rack space, verify mounting rails, and identify the corresponding power source and network location. Ensure the rack has adequate clearance for ventilation around the PDU and sensors.
• 2. Mount the PDU: Secure the Premium PDU into the 19-inch rack using the supplied screws and mounting brackets. Align the unit so that outlets and cable management paths are accessible for connected devices and maintenance personnel.
• 3. Connect power and network: Attach the incoming power connection to the appropriate power source, ensuring the voltage matches the PDU’s specification. Connect the PDU’s management port to your network using an Ethernet cable for IP access and remote monitoring.
• 4. Configure IP and sensors: Access the PDU’s management interface to set IP addressing (DHCP or static), define administrative credentials, and calibrate the RackLink temperature and humidity sensors. Configure alert thresholds and notification channels to receive timely warnings on environmental changes.
• 5. Register and verify: If your facility uses centralized rack-management software or a monitoring system, register the PDU in that platform. Verify that temperature and humidity readings populate correctly, and perform a controlled power-cycle test to confirm smooth operation of outlets and sequencing.
