If more than one IPDU is daisy-chained to a port, the outlet numbers would be specified sequentially. For example, if two IPDUs are daisy-chained, and the first IPDU has eight outlets, then you would enter the number 14 to indicate the sixth outlet on the second IPDU.To Configure a KVM Port for Power Management [Expert]Perform this procedure to enable a user who is connected to a server through a KVM port to perform power management while connected.
