3-Phase, Wye, Combination of 120V NEMA Outlets and 208V C13 Outlets
RENO, Nev.--(Business Wire)--
Server Technology, the industry leader for Power Distribution Unit and
Management Solutions, announces the availability of the CS-27VY mixed-outlet
Cabinet Power Distribution Unit (CDU) with (6) NEMA 5-20R 120V outlets and (21)
IEC C13 208V outlets. This 3-Phase, 208V, 30A Smart CDU delivers 10.8kW of power
to the rack and provides reliable power distribution combined with local and
network power monitoring and environmental monitoring via IP. Use the network
interface to view power, temperature and humidity levels via Web browser, or
receive SNMP-based alarms and email alerts when conditions exceed defined
thresholds. The three local current monitors, positioned next to the network
ports atop the front panel of the CDU, can easily be inverted via the web GUI or
serial interface to satisfy overhead or floor fed power. These LED monitors
provide True Digital RMS current monitoring for onsite verification of the
current draw (in Amps) on each branch circuit and are critical for preventing
overloads in high-density computing environments. Local and remote current
meters for each phase also make it easy to balance the load and ensure efficient
operation when distributing power from 3-Phase circuits. Utilizing circuit
breakers, this product meets the UL 60950-1 requirement for branch circuit
protection. 

The mixed-outlets on the CS-27VY deliver multiple output voltages, depending on
outlet type, to the IT devices located within the rack. This makes it the
perfect CDU for racks with legacy equipment, satisfying both 120V and 208V
powered devices. This is a high-density solution, perfect for blade servers or
other high-density server applications. Combined with a link unit, there is
enough power to provide for redundancy or room-for-future expansion as new
devices are added to the rack. Providing the proper amount of power during the
initial rack configuration reduces the number of cables under the floor blocking
airflow, saves poles at the breaker panel, saves the cost and time of adding
additional whips later and reduces the number of PDUs required within the rack
itself. 

This 3-Phase Wye CDU delivers both 120V and 208-240V at 30 Amps. Along with the
original 27 outlets on the CDU, an expansion CDU can be linked to the master.
Both master and expansion, along with two optional temperature and humidity
probes, can be controlled via a single IP address. 

The Smart product line allows for network monitoring of the CDU using either the
serial interface, internal web interface or the Sentry Power Manager (SPM)
Software System. Each Smart CDU that Server Technology produces, including this
mixed-outlet model, supports two external ten-foot probes used to monitor both
temperature and humidity. Receive SNMP or email-based alerts when power or
environmental conditions are exceeded.

Expansion part numbers: CL-27VY-L30M
