RENO, Nev.--(Business Wire)--
Server Technology, the industry leader for Cabinet Power Distribution Unit (CDU)
and Power Management and Monitoring Solutions, announces the release of a series
of application notes created to help design engineers, application engineers and
data center managers power Cisco`s® Unified Computing System (UCS).
These application notes illustrate how to power and provide redundancy for
Cisco® UCS 5108 Blade Server Chassis and 6120XP 20-Port Fabric Interconnects in
multiple configurations using Smart Cabinet Power Distribution Units (PDUs) from
Server Technology, Inc. Models CS-18VY, CS-24V2, CS-12HD2, and CS-24V5.
The application notes are posted on the Server Technology Web site at
www.servertech.com/cisco. Application Notes APN-100-012 through APN-100-021
include detailed wiring diagrams, power requirements for Cisco Unified Computing
System and recommendations on power in-feeds from 208 V 30A, Three Phase 208 V
60A and Three Phase 415V 30A power solutions.
Key Benefits Include:
* Sentry Smart 3-Phase PDUs reduce the number of PDUs needed to deliver the
power required by this cabinet configuration. This in turn reduces the number of
power drops required for each cabinet.
* Fewer power cords means lower infrastructure costs, less poles taken up at the
breaker panel and improved airflow in a raised floor environment, resulting in
improved cooling in the cabinet.
* Sentry Smart PDUs allow administrators to view the current load and
environmental conditions remotely.
* SNMP traps and email alerts ensure notification if a problem has occurred
along with logging of all actions performed by the user.
* Local LEDs Per Branch Circuit or Phase- Large, easy-to-read displays let you
determine if the load is balanced and provide visual indication that power is
supplied to the PDU.
* Environmental measurements- Quantity (2) temperature and (2) humidity
measurements are provided per pair of PDUs.
* Local and remote notification if a branch circuit is lost.
* Master and Link configuration (CS/CL) allows two power in-feeds and all
environmental information to be monitored via a single IP address per cabinet.
The Cisco Unified Computing System is a next-generation data center platform
that unites compute, network, storage access, and virtualization into a cohesive
system designed to reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) and increase business
agility.
