Installation and Operations Manual
Enabling or disabling strong password requirements:
The Switched PDU supports enforcement of strong passwords for enhanced security. When enabled, all new
passwords must be a minimum of 8 characters in length with at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, one
number and one special character.
Acceptable strong passwords:
n0tOnmyw@tch
john2STI?
H3reUgo!
NOTE: Strong password requirements also enforce a minimum change of four character positions when defining new strong passwords.
Select Enabled or Disabled from the Strong Passwords drop-down menu and click Apply.
NOTE: The strong password requirement is applied against all new passwords.
Enabling or disabling the configuration reset button:
Select Enabled or Disabled from the Configuration Reset Button drop-down menu and click Apply.
Setting the temperature scale:
Select Celsius or Fahrenheit from the Temperature Scale drop-down menu and click Apply.
Setting the system area (footprint):
Enter a system area value in the Area (Footprint) field and click Apply.
Setting the system area unit of measure:
Select Square Feet or Square Meters from the Area (Footprint) drop-down menu and click Apply.
Setting the power factor:
The Power Factor value calculates the power usage displayed in the Power Monitoring pages.
Type a numeric value in the Power Factor field (from 0.50 to 1.00) and click Apply.
Setting the 3-phase load out-of-balance threshold:
The threshold (percentage) specified determines when the current on the lines of a 3-phase system are out-of-balance
between the three phases of power. If the alerting feature is enabled, an alert will be sent when an out-of-balance condition
occurs.
In the 3-Phase Load Out-of-Balance Threshold field, type a value from 0 to 100%, and click Apply.
Setting the 3-phase load out-of-balance alerting:
This setting enables/disables the sending of an alert when the current on the lines of a 3-phase system are past a pre-set
threshold (percentage) and are out-of-balance between the three phases of power.
From the 3-Phase Load Out-of-Balance Alerting drop-down menu, select Enabled or Disabled, and click Apply.
NOTES:
When a device with 3-phase input voltage is out-of-balance, efficiency is reduced and the unit is prevented from reaching maximum
capacity. When an alert for the out-of-balance condition is received (if the alerting feature is enabled), it may be necessary to adjust
distribution of the loads.
For 3-phase systems, if the Out-of-Balance Alerting feature is enabled, and the system goes into a load out-of-balance condition, the
Tower Status field on the “Power Monitoring – System” web page will display the alert “3ph Out-of-Balance”, unless there is a higher
priority tower error state to report.
Configuring the Command Line Interface (CLI) session timeout:
Enter a timeout period (in minutes) in the CLI Session Timeout field, and click Apply.
The valid timeout range is 1 to 1440 minutes (24 hours); the default is 5 minutes.
