Introduction
Overview
ATEN has developed a new generation of green energy power distribution
units (PDUs) to effectively increase the efficiency of data center power usage
The NRGence PE6108AV / PE6208AV / PE8208AV eco PDUs are intelligent
PDUs that contain 8 AC outlets with a detachable front panel for convenient
rack mounting and are available in various IEC or NEMA socket
configurations.
They provide secure, centralized, intelligent, power management (power on,
off, cycle) of data center IT equipment (servers, storage systems, KVM
switches, network devices, serial data devices, etc.), as well as the ability to
monitor the center's health environment via sensors*. The basic characteristics
of each model are shown in the table on page 3.
NRGence eco PDUs offer remote power control combined with real-time
power measurement - allowing you to control and monitor the power status of
devices attached to the PDUs, either at the PDU and outlet level (PE8208AV)
or Bank level (PE6208AV), from practically any location via a TCP/IP
connection.
The power status of each outlet can be set individually, allowing users to switch
each device On/Off. The eco PDU also offers comprehensive power analysis
reports when used with the eco Sensors software which can separate
departments and locations, providing precise measurements of current,
voltage, power and watt-hour in a real-time display.
Installation and operation is fast and easy: plugging cables into their
appropriate ports and user-friendly browser-based configuration and
management is all that is entailed. Since the eco PDU firmware is upgradeable
over the Net, you can stay current with the latest functionality improvements
simply by downloading updates from our website as they become available.
NRGence eco PDU supports any 3rd party v3 SNMP Manager Software and
NRGence eco Sensors (eco PDU Manager Software). NRGence eco Sensors
provides you with an easy method for managing multiple devices, offering an
intuitive and user-friendly Graphical User Interface that allows you to
configure a PDU device and monitor power status of the equipment connected
to it.

and send SNMP trap or e-mail alerts when a threshold is exceeded. This feature
provides a faster response time to recover servers and other devices when the
outlets surpass thresholds set by you.
The PE6108AV / PE6208AV / PE8208AV is an excellent fit for any ATEN
VanCryst Pro A/V or VK Control System installation. Using our cross
platform solutions not only provide you with the best performance but also
utilize extra features which bring you more confidence and more power to
control.
With its advanced security features and ease of operation, the eco PDU is the
most convenient, most reliable, and most cost effective way to remotely
manage power access for multiple computer installations and allocate power
resources in the most efficient way possible.
Note: Sensors are optional accessories. A sensor-enabled installation is
required to generate a more complete energy-efficient data and chart.
Higher sensor installation density is helpful to generate more accurate
data. See Optional Accessories, page 5, for further information.

Optional Accessories
Sensors
Sensors are optional accessories. You can use the eco PDU unit without
sensors. However, if you want to have complete energy management of an
instrumented data center with the use of the eco PDU, you would need to use
eco Sensors software and install 4 sensors for each of the racks to generate a
complete energy-efficient data and chart. Higher sensor installation density is
helpful to generate more accurate data. 8-port models have 2 sensor ports. In
this case, Sensor 1 needs to be installed at the intake of the rack and sensor 2
needs to be placed at the exhaust of IT equipment of the rack. A sensor-enabled
installation is required to generate a more complete energy-efficient data and
chart. Higher sensor installation density is helpful to generate more accurate
data. Available sensors are show in the table, below:
Sensor Management
Sensors can be managed via the eco PDU’s built-in graphical user interface
(GUI) or with the NRGence eco Sensors software that can be downloaded from
the ATEN website. The download link can be found on the software CD
provided with the eco PDU package.
Cable Holders
Cable holders are optional accessories. For added safety, use ATEN Lok-U-
Plug cable holders to secure the cables from your attached devices in place on
the eco PDU unit. Use only the ATEN Lok-U-Plug cable holders that have
been specifically designed to work with the eco PDU. Using any other kind of
cable securing device could be highly dangerous.

Remote Turn ON
Method
Use the drop-down menu to select one of the choices, below:
Wake on LAN: This is a Safe Shutdown and Restart option. If this
is selected, when an Outlet is turned Off, the eco PDU first sends
a message to the computer telling it to prepare for a shutdown; it
then waits for the amount time set in the Power Off Delay field to
give the OS time to close down before the computer is powered
down to standby mode.
Likewise, when the Outlet is turned On, the eco PDU waits for
the amount time set in the Power On Delay field, then sends an
Ethernet message to the computer connected to the Outlet
telling the computer to turn itself On.
Note: For Safe Shutdown and Restart, the computer must be
running Windows (98 or higher), or Linux, and the Safe
Shutdown program (available by download from our website),
must be installed and running on the computer.
System after AC Back: This is a Safe Shutdown and Restart
option. If this is selected, when an Outlet is turned Off, the eco
PDU first sends a message to the computer telling it to prepare
for a shutdown; it then waits for the amount time set in the Power
Off Delay field to give the OS time to close down before the
computer is powered down.
When the Outlet is turned On, the eco PDU waits for the amount
time set in the Power On Delay field, then sends power to the
server. When the server receives the power, it turns itself on.
Note: For Safe Shutdown and Reboot, the computer must be
running Windows (98 or higher), or Linux, and the Safe
Shutdown program (available by download from our website),
must be installed and running on the computer.
Kill the Power: If this option is selected, the eco PDU waits for the
amount time set in the Power Off Delay field, and then turns the
Outlet's power Off. Turning the power off performs a cold (non-
safe) shutdown.

Private Certificate
When logging in over a secure (SSL) connection, a signed certificate is used to
verify that the user is logging in to the intended site. For enhanced security, the
Private Certificate section allows you to use your own private encryption key
and signed certificate, rather than the default ATEN certificate.
There are two methods for establishing your private certificate: generating a
self-signed certificate; and importing a third-party certificate authority (CA)
signed certificate.
Generating a Self-Signed Certificate
If you wish to create your own self-signed certificate, a free utility –
openssl.exe – is available for download over the web.
Obtaining a CA Signed SSL Server Certificate
For the greatest security, we recommend using a third party certificate
authority (CA) signed certificate. To obtain a third party signed certificate, go
to a CA (Certificate Authority) website to apply for an SSL certificate. After
the CA sends you the certificate and private encryption key, save them to a
convenient location on your computer.

IP Address Determination
If you are an administrator logging in for the first time, you need to access the
eco PDU in order to give it an IP address that users can connect to. There are
two methods to choose from. In each case, your client computer must be on the
same network segment as the eco PDU. After you have connected and logged
in you can give the device its fixed network address. (See Notification Settings,
page 46.)
Method 1:
For computers running Windows, an IP address can be determined and/or
assigned with the IP Installer utility. The utility can be obtained from the
Download area of our web site or from the software CD. Look under Driver/
SW, and the model of your device. After downloading the utility to your
computer, do the following:
1. Unzip the contents of IPInstaller.zip to a directory on your hard drive.
2. Go to the directory that you unzipped the IPInstaller program to and run
IPInstaller.exe. A dialog box similar to the one below appears:
(Continues on next page.)
PE6108AV / PE6208AV / PE8208AV User Manual
90
(Continued from previous page.)
3. Select the device in the Device List.
Note: 1. If the list is empty, or your device doesn't appear, click
Enumerate to refresh the Device List.
2. If there is more than one device in the list, use the MAC address
to pick the one you want. The eco PDU's MAC address is located
on its bottom panel.
4. Select either Obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP), or Specify an
IP address. If you chose the latter, fill the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and
Gateway fields with the information appropriate to your network.
5. Click Set IP.
6. After the IP address shows up in the Device List, click Exit to end the
program.
Method 2:
1. Set your computer's IP address to 192.168.0.XXX
Where XXX represents any number or numbers except 60. (192.168.0.60) is
the default address of the eco PDU.)
2. Specify the device’s default IP address (192.168.0.60) in your browser,
and you will be able to connect.
3. Assign a fixed IP address for the device (see IPv4 Configuration, page 49),
that is suitable for the network segment that it resides on.
4. After you log out, reset your computer's IP address to its original value.
5. Once you have logged in, go to Network Settings to set up the permanent
IP environment (see IPv4 Configuration, page 49).
Method 3:
NRGence eco Sensors allows you to determine/assign an IP address in order to
configure a PDU device and monitor power status of the equipment connected
to it. NRGence eco Sensors can be obtained from the Download area of the
ATEN web site.
