System Summary
The System Summary is typically displayed as the default page at user login to the firmware Web Interface. If you do
not have environmental monitor access for a PDU, your default page at login will be the Outlet Control page (shown
in Figure 3 above).
Both the System Summary page and the Outlet Control page display automatically at login and do not require
enabling.
The System Summary page contains general system, line, humidity, and temperature status information. The color-
coded sensor graphs shown in the example below provide a quick and efficient real-time view for monitoring
environmental conditions in your PDU network.
Example of System Summary Page
The System Summary page displays precise current and system power consumption in your PDU network. Dynamic
updates (without a full page refresh) allow you to assess critical system statistics with close to instantaneous
feedback. This performance is useful for monitoring new installation or power distribution changes in high-density
computing environments. Power system administrators can also quickly identify thermal and humidity concerns that
might otherwise escalate into costly infrastructure repairs if left unchecked.
As long as the System Summary page is active, the sensor graphs are continually updating system statistics and
threshold values. The data with the most impact on the system is displayed to reduce your analysis and
troubleshooting time. You can quickly analyze and correct a PDU if a sudden operating condition affects your device
network.
NOTE: Because the System Summary page continually requests updated status information from the PDU, the page does not time-out. You
will need to navigate to another page or manually log off.
System Information
Uptime: Displays the cumulative time the PDU has been up and running since the last unit restarted. Uptime shows
continuous, real-time system updates with an approximate 5-second automatic refresh. A manual refresh of the
System Summary page is not required.
Firmware Version: Shows the current firmware version.
Ethernet NIC S/N: Displays the PDU serial number derived from the Ethernet NIC.
