(Optional) Connect PDU Management Cables

Language:

You can optionally connect serial and network cables to the PDU metering units so that you can monitor the PDU and the connected equipment over the network. For instructions on configuring the PDU metering unit's network connections and using its web interface, refer to the enhanced PDU sections of the Sun Rack II Power Distribution Unit User's Guide.

Note - Connecting cables to the PDU metering units is optional. You can monitor the PDUs and equipment using the PDU metering unit's LCD screen.
