Monitoring Enhanced PDUs

For enhanced PDUs, there are four ways you can monitor how much power, energy, and current the equipment attached to the PDU uses, as well as the voltage level powering the equipment. You also can configure the metering unit to send messages to systems on the network.


Note -  Compact PDUs do not contain metering units, so you cannot monitor the current of equipment connected to them.

The following table lists the tasks necessary to configure and use the PDU metering unit.
