enhanced functionality. Please refer to the appropriate product documentation for more information

on how to use the PM IPDU with your specific implementation.

Hardware Configuration Options

The PM IPDU may be used in one of three hardware configurations:

• Standalone – Managed independently of any other hardware device.

• Daisy chained - Multiple PM IPDUs connected to one another and managed by one main

PM IPDU.

• Integrated – Managed by a console server or a KVM switch.
