Power-Sharing Restrictions and Connection

36
•
One device is connected to another device via two cascading cables - USB
and Ethernet cables.
Two PX3TS devices can share power supply to their controllers via EXPANSION
ports, so that when either PX3TS controller fails to receive DC 12V power from
its inlet(s), it continues to receive backup power from another PX3TS device
which functions properly and therefore remains to be accessible to users.
For documentation purpose, the term "power-sharing mode" is used to
describe the status when the 12V power supply from the inlet to a PX3TS
controller fails, causing that controller to receive power from another PX3TS
device.
Before making a power-sharing connection, first read
Configurations and Restrictions
equipment from BOTH PX3TS PDUs.
After a PDU enters the power-sharing mode, some of its data/operations
remain to be available while other data/operations are no longer available.
Unavailable data or operations on the PDU that enters the power-sharing
mode:
•
All outlets lose power, and enter the "disabled" state.
▪
No outlet switching can be performed if the PX3TS is an
outlet-switching capable PDU.
