Selecting IPDU Multi-Outlet Control form allows you to view and manage the power on a group of outlets that provide power to a multi power supply server or device connected to a serial port. Whether the outlets that the multi power supply device is connected to are on the same PM or not, the outlets can be grouped together and managed simultaneously from this form.
2. The following form appears if you have permission to view and control the outlets that a multi power supply server or device is connected to.Notice in the above figure that the first line of each group, the light bulb, the lock icon, and the Cycle button operate over the entire group. The light bulb and lock icons next to the individual outlets are used to display the status of each outlet but cannot be used to control the individual outlets.
Clicking the light bulb icon changes the power status of all of the outlets in the group. A grey and open lock icon indicates that the outlets are unlocked and can be powered on or off.A full-color and closed lock icon indicates that the outlet is locked and cannot be turned on or off.Clicking the lock icon changes the lock status of all of the icons in the group. Note: Only one outlet needs to be powered on or unlocked in order for the entire group to be considered on or unlocked respectively. In this case, it takes two clicks to turn the power off or to lock the entire group instead of the one click, when all of the outlets are in the same state. The first click turns the other outlets on or unlocks them so that all the outlets are in the same state; the second click turns all of the outlets off or locks them.Note: The “PU (Power Up) interval" parameter configured for each outlet plays an important role in the power up sequence of multi-outlet devices. The next outlet in the group turns on only after the power up interval specified for the current outlet has elapsed. This parameter can be configured through the IPDU Power Mgmt. form.
