PM 2000 & PM3000 intelligent Power Distribution units (IPDUs) support outlet level metering and switching capability to provide datacenter professionals the tools they need to monitor, reduce, and manage their growing power consumption costs of IT equipment. Thresholds can be created to allow datacenter teams to know before problems occur and minimize downtime caused by overloaded circuits.
The ability to integrate with the DSView3 management software enables IT managers to have a consolidated interface to access and manage their IT equipment and also the supporting power infrastructure. The optional DSView 3 Power Manager further enhances this by allowing historical reporting to track power consumption, capacity and cost across individual PDUs, racks, rows of racks, or entire data centers.

Features and Benefits
Feature
Benefit
Outlet level, phase level and strip level current metering with threshold/alert capabilities
Provides preemptive notification of any impending overload issues before they occur, and simplifies the task of installing new equipment
Capability to remotely switch outlets through onboard web interface, DSView3 management software (Not available on PM2000)
Allows power to hung up IT equipment to be recycled, turned on or turned off remotely for faster resolution time
On board web interface
Can be installed for direct access right out of the box or it can be configured as part of a larger integrated solution using the DSView 3 software.
IP and Serial interface options
Options to install by connecting directly to the network or save IP connections by using the serial interface to connect directly to Avocent appliances already connected to the network.
Daisy chaining
Saves the number of IP addresses or console / KVM ports that are required to manage all power distribution needs.
Integration with DSView 3
Single interface for management of IT equipment and iPDU’s simplifies mapping of outlets to servers and other equipment to reduce and minimizes power cycling the wrong equipment.
Integration with DSView 3 Power Manager
Track historical trends to measure and monitor IT power consumption, capacity, and cost to understand what issues exist and to make more informed decisions in the future.
Electronic Overcurrent Protection
Electronic Overcurrent protection is an added layer of protection that gets activated in the event of minor overloads. During such events, outlets get turned off first instead of the primary overcurrent protection (OCP) getting tripped.
Sequential Startup
Protects integrity of all upstream electrical infrastructure by staggering the inrush current draw of all plugged in devices.
Sequential Shutdown
Protects integrity of applications by ensuring that multiple equipment running dependant applications shut down in the appropriate order only.

FAQs
Question
Answer
What is the main difference between the PM 2000 and the PM 3000 products?
The PM2000 PDUs have metering capability at the outlet level and the PM3000 PDUs have both metering and switching capability at the outlet level.
What is Electronic overcurrent protection?
This is a feature built in to Avocent PM 3000 units that locks the outlets that are being unused on a phase / strip where currents have exceeded programmed thresholds.
Are PM 3000 and PM 2000 units IPv6 compliant?
Yes, through WebUI, CLI and DSView3.
Can multiple PM 3000 and PM 2000 units be daisy chained?
Yes, up to a total of 5 units or 128 outlets, whichever comes first. They can be daisy chained with either Cyclades PM units or with other PM 3000 or PM 2000 units.
What are the different ways to remotely manage PM 3000 and PM 2000 units?
PM 3000 and PM 2000 units can be managed the following ways:
Stand alone using the Onboard web interface
CLI through a serial connection
Serially connected to ACS 6000 console serves
Serially connected to current KVM over IP switches
Centrally managed using the DSView3 management software and optional DSView3 Power Manager for real-time and historical reports.
Do PM3000 and PM 2000 units have an accessory to hold the output power cords connected to IEC outlets?
