Introduction
A rack PDU can be monitored locally through its on-board LCD, through a Web interface or through an
optional display module, either the RPC BDM (Part# RPCBDM-1000). The display module connects
directly to the RPC2 communications module and may be moved between operating MPH2 units. It can be
hand-held, mounted in or on the rack or mounted on a wall near the rack PDU it is monitoring.
Multiple MPH2 Rack PDUs can be managed with these software applications:
• Avocent

Rack Power Manager software
• Avocent DSView
• Emerson's Trellis
• Liebert
