What’s the PRO1?
Like the PRO2, the PRO1 (Switched and Smart) is another new PDU design from Server Technology to provide the
same type of flexibility for power management, cost savings, and advanced data center solutions that the PRO2
delivers.
What’s Unique About the PRO1?
Server Technology’s PRO1 design allows for PRO2 functionality in a CDU1 form factor.
The PRO1 uses the Sentry4-MIB and the PRO2 firmware, version 8.0.x, allowing PRO1 products to offer the latest
features and functions of the PRO2 product family.

(version 8.0.x or later), and new Sentry4-MIB, but the PRO1 does not include the following PRO2 items:
• Branch Current Monitoring feature
• TRMS Current Input Monitoring (in some cases rather than PIPS)
