The PDU provides current, voltage, power, and cumulative energy usage, helping data teams track capacity, optimize workloads, and identify anomalous draws before issues escalate. Comprehensive event logs, trend data, and alerts give you the data you need for proactive maintenance and SLA adherence, while simplifying audits and reporting for facilities teams.
• IPv6-enabled network management: Designed for modern networks, this PDU offers secure, scalable remote management over IPv6. Access a robust, web-based interface from anywhere in your enterprise, with role-based access controls and secure authentication to protect critical power infrastructure. IPv6 support ensures future-proof networking compatibility as your data center expands, while keeping latency, security, and management efficiency tightly controlled.
• Rugged, space-efficient rack integration: Built for dense data centers and network closets, this 16-outlet PDU is designed for seamless rack mounting in standard deployments. The compact form factor enables optimal cable organization and airflow, helping you maximize rack efficiency without compromising reliability. Its durable construction and standardized mounting make it a versatile choice for new installations or upgrades to existing infrastructure.
• Flexible integration and proactive alerting: The Minuteman IP-based Switched PDU integrates easily with existing monitoring ecosystems and IT service management workflows. Expect straightforward configuration via the web UI, support for alert notifications, and the ability to tailor outlet naming and reporting to your organization’s conventions. Whether you’re scaling a data center or tightening control in a remote site, this PDU delivers the insights and automation needed to reduce outages and lower energy costs.

How to install Minuteman UPS IP-based Switched PDU

• Plan the installation in a clean, well-ventilated rack area with adequate clearance for cabling and cooling. Verify that the rack space can accommodate 16 outlets and the cabinet’s depth requirements.
• Mount the PDU securely in the rack using the provided hardware. Ensure the unit is level and stable to prevent cable strain and to maintain airflow around equipment.
• Connect the PDU to the 208V main power feed according to your facility’s electrical standards. Use proper safety practices to avoid overloading circuits and to meet local electrical codes.
• Connect the PDU to your network via the Ethernet port. Configure the IPv6 addressing (dynamic or static) in accordance with your network policy, and verify network connectivity to ensure reliable remote access.
• Access the web-based management interface to complete initial setup. Name each outlet, define power-on default states, configure schedules, set alert thresholds, and enable energy monitoring. Perform a test power cycle on a non-critical device to validate outlet control and reporting, and confirm that alerts are delivered to your monitoring system or admin team as configured.
