Pdu Linking At The Rack - LEGRAND Server Technology PRO4X User Manual

PDU Linking at the Rack

PDUs with the iX9 controller have a PDU Link port that supports directly connecting two same model,
same firmware version PDUs in a primary-link configuration right at the rack. This connection also
allows for power-sharing between the two PDUs. To allow PDU linking of the connected PDUs, complete
the configuration using the PDU front panel display of the Primary unit. You do not have to say Yes to
PDU Linking to use power sharing.
