Chapter 1: Introducing the PRO2
Welcome to the Server Technology
Switched PRO2
The Switched PRO2 is the latest design in
Server Technology’s reliable power distribution units, providing flexibility
for future power management, cost savings, and advanced solutions for data center customers.
Key Product Features
The Switched PRO2 offers many features for the next generation of power management, including:
• PIPS
®
and (optionally) POPS
®
high-accuracy measurements for current, voltage, power, and other key
metrics. PIPS is a standard feature on all PRO2 units.
• Auto-Flip LED display gives the proper display orientation no matter how the PRO2 is mounted in the
cabinet.
• Outlet naming on all PRO2 products (for both Switched and Smart products).
• Hot-swappable network interface card (NIC) allows swapping the card in the field without causing a change
in outlet state. The NIC can easily be replaced even when power is applied.
• Support for IPv6 address names and support for SNMPv3.
• Equipped for the mobile power monitoring solution using a Bluetooth
®
module (for either Google Android or
Apple iOS), along with Serve
r Technology’s ST Eye mobile application.
• Branch current measurements on both Switched and Smart PRO2 products, and notification of fuse or
breaker failure.
• Several new levels of power monitoring for high-low warning-alarm thresholds and threshold hysteresis.
• If the master unit loses power, redundant power is provided to the master via the first linked unit, ensuring
uptime.
• On-board firmware file system to allow direct GUI downloads of system files, firmware version updates, and
MIB/OID tree files without using FTP.
• Intuitive and soft-mapped naming conventions used in both the PRO2 hardware and firmware to reflect the
system hierarchy of units, cords, lines, phases, over-current protectors (OCPs), branches, outlets, outlet
groups, and sensors.
