10: Remote Power Managers
The SLC supports managing remote power managers (RPMs) for devices from over 140 vendors.
The RPMs can be either PDUs or UPSes, and can be managed via SNMP, serial port, network
and USB connections. The RPMs web page displays a list of all currently managed RPMs with an
overview of their current status, with options to control and view detailed status for each RPM,
depending on its supported capabilities.
Network and SNMP managed RPMs are disabled in FIPS mode. The only action that can be
performed on a network or SNMP managed RPM in FIPS mode is that it can be deleted via the
CLI.
For notes on optimizing the management of specific devices, see
