In Figure 6-27 on page 340, the bottom chart shows an example of thermal
trending information. The device in this example shows the ambient and exhaust
temperature. Other devices might not available to show an exhaust temperature.
iPDU support
Section 6.8, "Power Distribution Units (PDU)" on page 357 briefly describes on
how iPDUs work with the AEM. An iPDU can record similar information to other
power monitored hardware. The power trending data in Figure 6-28 on page 342
is from an iPDU.
Other detailed information can also be reported for each iPDU:
Time at which the current data was collected
Name assigned to the iPDU
Firmware level of the iPDU
Average input and output watts for the iPDU over the last polling interval
Minimum and maximum output watts for the iPDU over the last polling interval
Current, minimum, maximum ambient temperature of the iPDU at the last
polling interval
You can also display detailed information about each load group in the iPDU:
Name assigned to the load group
Average output watts which is the DC power currently being consumed as
reported by the power meter, or shown as two dashes (--) if power data is not
available
Minimum and maximum output watts for the load group over the last polling
interval
Amps used in relation to capacity
Figure 6-29 on page 344 shows how information for an iPDU and its load groups
is presented.
