When maintaining operating uptime in a data center or server room, sustainable energy efficiency can make all the difference. The implementation of effective power management often involves improvements at both the hardware and software level.

ATEN is introducing its latest PG series of PDUs that are designed with 1U rack housing to accommodate the increasing demand for power to high-density IT equipment in server rooms and data centers.

Each PG8308B PDU, utilizing an ARM-Cortex A8 processor, is equipped with 8 port outlets that can power up all connected equipment in less than 10 seconds once plugged in, and delivers the most accurate kWh energy usage data (+/-1%) for better power consumption habits, baselines, and initiative tracking.

With energy saving in mind, PG8308B is purposed to enable lower energy consumption for best practice in a network infrastructure, while promoting up to 35.04 kw equivalent of power consumption of reduced CO2 emission, reduced electricity expenses, and lower carbon taxes to pay each year.

ATEN's PG8308B outlet-metered and switched series intelligent PDU features 8 outlets housed in a compact 1U rack enclosure.

With an ARM Cortex-A8 processor, these PDUs provide advanced control options through USB, COM, environmental sensors, and dual Gigabit LAN ports.

Designed for rapid deployment, PG series PDUs can power all connected equipment within just 10 seconds of being plugged in. For enhanced cost efficiency and space optimization, these intelligent PDUs can be cascaded, allowing interconnection of up to 64 units.

PG series PDUs are equipped with RJ-45 sensor ports to connect with EA1640 that monitor the health of the data center environment, ensuring optimal operating conditions. They offer secure, centralized, and intelligent power management capabilities, allowing users to power on, off, or cycle data center IT equipment such as servers, storage systems, KVM switches, network devices, and serial data devices.

With the integration of remote power control and real-time power measurement, users can manage and monitor the power status of devices connected to PG series PDUs from virtually anywhere with an IP connection. This functionality is accessible at the PDU outlet level.

These intelligent PDUs are capable of handling high voltage ranges of 100V to 120V. Additionally, they provide precise kWh energy usage data with an accuracy of ±1%. This level of precision enhances the monitoring of power consumption, aids in the establishment of baseline energy usage, and supports the tracking of energy efficiency initiatives.

In terms of hardware design, PG series PDUs incorporate built-in energy-saving relays – subtypes of electromagnetic switches – to manage large current flows more efficiently, resulting in lower energy consumption compared to non-relay models. The built-in circuit breaker on PG series models support current flows of 30A, automatically disconnecting the power supply to prevent overloads and protect connected devices from damage.

The firmware of the PG series is upgradeable via web GUI or USB, allowing users to conveniently download updates from ATEN's website, ensuring access to the latest functionalities and improvements for practical use.

Green LCD console panel sticker is included for users, with additional options in blue, yellow, red, and purple available for purchase. This color-coding system enhances the ability to differentiate between power feed settings and facilitates more efficient troubleshooting.

PG series intelligent PDUs are ideally suited for enterprise server rooms, network closets, and data centers, providing an intelligent power distribution and management solution that meets the demands of high-density IT applications while optimizing overall costs.

Real-time Alerts via LCD Display
Once connected to an AC power source, the Home screen displays basic PDU readings, including A (Aggregate Current), V (Voltage), W (Power), and kWh (Power Consumption).

The LCD screen lights up red when a Critical, Alert (triggered when a PDU value exceeds a predefined threshold), or Warning (when a value approaches the alert threshold) event is logged.

Environment Sensors
The Sensor port enables RJ-45 connectivity to connect or daisy-chain up to 8 environment sensors (i.e. EA1640, sold separately) for monitoring and management of temperature, humidity, airflow, differential air pressure, and leaks, featuring alerts for potential threats.

Communicate through RS-232 Protocol
For quick and flexible operation, connecting a serial device to the PDU with its COM port provides another means to undertake communication via CLI commands.

Networkable via WiFi
PG8308B can be networked via connection to a USB WiFi dongle to perform DCIM, firmware upgrade, log export, quick configuration, and more.

Dual LAN Ports for Scalable Network Setup
PG8308B is equipped with dual LAN ports (Internet and Intranet) supporting up to 1G Ethernet connection, and can be cascaded to connect up to 64 PDUs, saving expense on installing extra network switches to incorporate network connections while sparing more rack space to accommodate more IT equipment in an expandable network.
