Overview for the IBM Ultra Density Enterprise Power Distribution Units

Content

The new IBM Ultra Density Enterprise Power Distribution Units make it quick and simple to deploy, protect, and manage your high-availability IBM System x and BladeCenter rack environment.

IBM Ultra Density Enterprise PDUs share a common space-efficient, power-dense design across the line. Available solutions include nine IEC-320-C19 (16 A) and three IEC-320-C13 (10 A) receptacles with single-phase 30 A, 32 A, 60 A, and 63 A offerings, as well as three-phase 32 A and 60 A offerings. IBM Ultra Density PDU+ models combine receptacle density with advanced intelligent power management capabilities to seamlessly integrate with IBM Active Energy Manager. IBM Ultra Density Enterprise PDU+ models move beyond monitoring solely the incoming power of the PDU; now they can reach down to each individual load segment to monitor the status of your mission critical equipment.

IBM Ultra Density Enterprise PDUs can be used separately or in combination with other IBM System x and BladeCenter PDUs to provide from a few outlets up to a full rack, scaling as required or as business needs change to support even greater power densities.

Ultra Density Enterprise PDU models 7176-2NX and 7176-3NU

IBM Ultra Density Enterprise PDU models are engineered to stringent specifications in order to efficiently and cost effectively deliver power to the most power-dense IBM System x and BladeCenter environments. Designed with nine IEC-320-C19 (16 A) receptacles on the front, three IEC-320-C13 (10 A) on the rear panel, and individual breakers per load group, these units are well equipped to meet the requirements of your most power-demanding and highest availability systems.

Ultra Density Enterprise PDU models 7176-2MX and 7176-3MU

Ultra Density PDU+ Models 7176-2MX and 7176-3MU are also designed with nine IEC-320-C19 (16 A) receptacles on the front and three IEC-320-C13 (10 A) on the rear panel. These Intelligent Power Distribution Units (PDU+) are engineered to help measure and monitor energy in your IBM System x and BladeCenter Rack environment by collecting energy usage information on attached rack-mount products, and reporting the information to IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager V3.1.
