Setting The Outlet-Specific Power-On Delay; Setting Non-Critical Outlets And Load Shedding Mode - Raritan PX2-1000 User Manual

Setting the Outlet-Specific Power-On Delay

This section applies to outlet-switching capable models only.
You can make a power-on delay occur between two outlets that are
turned on consecutively when the PX turns on all outlets.
For example, if the power-up sequence is Outlet 1 through Outlet 12, and
you want the PX to wait for 5 seconds after turning on Outlet 3 before
turning on Outlet 4, assign a delay of 5 seconds on Outlet 3.
To set the outlet-specific power-on delay:
1. Trigger the Outlet Sequence Setup dialog by doing either of the
following:
 Click the Outlets folder, and the Outlets page opens in the right
pane. Click Sequence Setup.
 Click the PDU folder, and then the Setup button in the Outlet
Sequence section.
Note: The folder is named "my PX" by default. The name can be
customized. See Naming the PDU
2. Click the Delay column of the outlet where a delay is intended after
this outlet is turned on, delete the existing value and type a new
number in seconds. The number can be a decimal number.
 To disable the delay, simply type the number 0 (zero).
3. Repeat the above step to change the delay settings of additional
outlets.
4. Click OK.

Setting Non-Critical Outlets and Load Shedding Mode

This section applies to outlet-switching capable models only.
When a UPS supplying power to the PX switches into battery backup
operation, it may be desirable to switch off non-critical outlets to
conserve UPS battery life. This feature is known as load shedding.
Activation of load shedding can be accomplished using the web interface,
SNMP or CLI, or triggered by the contact closure sensors.
Outlets that are turned off when load shedding is activated are called
non-critical. Outlets that are not affected by load shedding are called
critical outlets. When load shedding is deactivated, the PX will turn back
on all non-critical outlets. By default, all outlets are configured as critical
until you configure them otherwise.
