Аперацыйная

Уключэнне

Once the PDU is connected to a power source and equipment is plugged in, the PDU will automatically power on. The digital display will illuminate, showing the total current draw in Amps.

Ток маніторынгу

The front panel digital display provides a real-time readout of the total current being drawn by all connected equipment. Monitor this value to ensure it remains below the PDU's maximum capacity of 20 Amps.

Remote Monitoring (via Network)

If connected to a network, the PDU's embedded network management card allows for remote monitoring of current, environmental conditions (with optional sensors), and event logging through a web browser interface or network management system. Consult the network management card user guide for detailed instructions on accessing and configuring these features.
