Overview

The KX III allows you to control Raritan PX and RPC series rack PDU (power strip) outlets connected to the KX III through a D2CIM-PWR.

Once a PX or RPC series is setup and then attached to the KX III, the rack PDU and its outlets can be controlled from the Powerstrip page in the KX III interface. This page is accessed by clicking on the Power menu at the top of the page.

The Powerstrip page will display rack PDUs attached to the KX III for which the user has been granted appropriate port access permissions. In the case of tiered configurations, the Powerstrip page will display both rack PDUs attached to the base and tiered KX IIIs, for which the user has been granted appropriate port access permissions.

Note: For information on setting up a PX, see the Raritan PX Online Help.

From the Powerstrip page, you are able to turn the outlets on and off, as well as cycle their power. You are also able to view the following power strip and outlet information:

• Powerstrip Device Information:
  • Name
  • Model
  • Temperature
  • Current Amps
  • Maximum Amps
  • Voltage
  • Power in Watts
  • Power in Volts Ampere
• Outlet Display Information:
  • Name - Named assigned to the outlet when it was configured.
  • State - On or Off status of the outlet
  • Control - Turn outlets on or off, or cycle their power
  • Association - The ports associated with the outlet

Initially, when you open the Powerstrip page, the power strips that are currently connected to the KX III are displayed in the Powerstrip drop-down.

Additionally, information relating to the currently selected power strip is displayed.

If no power strips are connected to the KX III, a message stating "No powerstrips found" will be displayed in the Powerstrip Device section of the page.

Provided you have privileges to do so, you can manage power from the Virtual KVM Client (VKC) and Active KVM Client (AKC) as well. See Remote Power Management via Virtual KVM Client (VKC) or Active KVM Client (AKC)
