Power Sharing Port On Ix9 Controllers; Power-Sharing Configurations And Restrictions; Smart Sensor Configurations For Power Sharing - LEGRAND Server Technology PRO4X User Manual

Tip: You can set an event rule for sending a notification when this sensor enters the fault state.
• •
The above event is logged in the internal event log.
▶
To check status of power-sharing mode:
• •
Check the state of the power supply sensor. For SNMP, the sensor type is i1smpsStatus (46).

Power Sharing Port on iX9 Controllers

Two PDUs with iX9 controllers can be connected at the "PDU LINK" port using a cat5 network cable for
power sharing.
See PDU Linking at the Rack

Power-Sharing Configurations and Restrictions

When either PDU enters power-sharing mode, BOTH PDUs support "less" external equipment than
usual. It is strongly recommended to remove specific equipment from both PDUs when making a
power-sharing connection.
▶
Configuration limitations on "both" PDUs:
• •
NO USB wireless LAN adapter is connected.
That is, you have to connect both PDUs to a "wired" network if LAN access is wanted.
• •
For models that support asset strips: No asset management strips can be connected while power
sharing.
• •
The maximum number of DX2 environmental sensor packages or door handles that can be
connected decreases. See
• •
After either PDU enters the power-sharing mode, you must NOT physically remove or add any
environmental sensor packages to either PDU.

Smart Sensor Configurations for Power Sharing

All information and restrictions described in this section apply to BOTH PDUs involved in the power-
sharing configuration, unless otherwise specified.
• •
NO changes to usual support for DX2 sensors in power sharing configurations.
▶
Door handle connection restrictions (via DX2-DH2C2):
• •
(Restriction only for DX2-DH2C2 manufactured before 2019) DO NOT connect any "SouthCo H3-EM
series" door handle(s) because of insufficient power supply in the power-sharing mode.
