MGE Flex PDU
Having the right connectors just where you need them
- FlexPDUs (Power Distribution Units) are flexible mounting multiway socket blocks for easy connection of multiple loads or either free-standing or rack-mounted UPSs
- FlexPDUs have a large number of sockets (8 French or Schuko sockets, 6 BS sockets or 12 IEC 10A sockets) which fit into a very compact unit (1U – 19")
- FlexPDUs are easy to implement into any type of installation: they can be rack mounted horizontally (1U) or vertically or directly onto all MGE RT format (rack/tower) UPSs
MGE HotSwap MBP
High availability for all UPSs up to 3 kVA
- HotSwap MBP provides a maintenance bypass for all UPSs up to 3 kVA: UPSs can be hot swapped or upgrade without interrupting the power supply
- HotSwap MBP has an IEC16A input connectorwith retaining clip for compatibility with any UPS now and in the future from MGE UPS SYSTEMS or any other supplier
- There is a range of HotSwap MBP units with different output connectors:
- French, Schuko, British and IEC sockets
- Terminal blocks on the HW (Hard-Wired) version - HotSwap MBP units can be installed as required; at the back, side, top of the UPSs, or rack-mounted(horizontally (1.5U) or vertically
MGE Intelligent PDU Series
Minimise network downtime with an Intelligent PDU
High Availability
Input Current monitoring of the connected equipment in the rack cabinet can significantly enhance- IT & network equipment uptime. Each Intelligent PDU includes a digital display indicator for local, real-time reading of the aggregate current used by the connected devices. NM (Network-Managed) versions add remote in-band or out-of-band supervision.
Setting up the alarm threshold of the PDU input current will provide a safety margin. This will dramatically reduce the risk of upstream protection tripping due to:
- Overload. For example, installation of new servers is routinely needed but they may exceed the rated power draw
- Inrush current generated by simultaneous device start-up when installed in the same cabinet. Switched PDUs allow for sequential start-up to prevent this.
Safety and Reliability
Safety of the PDU remote operation is ensured by:
- Encryption and authentication (SSL/SSH)
- Different administration levels allowing to lock some strategic outlets
- "Out-of-band" administration to manage the PDU remotely even in case of a network failure
- Cable lock system for inlet and outlets
Supervision and Remote Maintenance
70% of locked-up server issues are solved through a power reboot. Switched PDUs can achieve this task remotely to save time and money.
MGE designed the Ampmeter PDU 12 NM 2U for dual power supply devices like blade servers. NM models provide 2 ports for connection of temperature / humidity sensors to simultaneously monitor the environment conditions at the bottom and top of the rack enclosure. Status, conditions and thresholds of NM versions can also be monitored and controlled from a web interface.
These products can also be integrated with MGE Enterprise Power Manager supervision platform or any NMS by means of their SNMP protocol.
IT availability and reliability are critical corporate issues in today’s demanding, mission-critical environments. For this reason, it is important to ensure stable conditions for your complex server and software system architecture.
It all begins with a diverse range of enclosures and accessories for your network closets, computer rooms and data centers.
New Powerware Enclosure Solutions from Eaton represent the first critical step in planning an ideal data center and complement a comprehensive power management portfolio that includes rack mount UPSs, PDUs, RPPs and a host of other power quality equipment.
