Server Technology Launches Switched, 3-Phase, 415V, 32Amp CDU
Efficiency Gains Achieved by Distributing 415V/240V Power to the Cabinet
(Reno, NV), August 25, 2009 - Server Technology, the industry leader for Power Distribution Unit and Management Solutions, announces the availability of the CW-24V4 mixed-outlet Cabinet Power Distribution Unit. This is a 3-Phase CDU with 32Amps and 415V, making this a high-density power distribution solution. The mixed outlet configuration consists of (18) IEC C13 outlets and (6) IEC C19 outlets. Each outlet can be switched on, off, or rebooted via the CDU's built in firmware. The web GUI can easily be access via IP, network, the SPM (Sentry Power Manager) software system, or serial connection. The local current monitors, positioned on the top front panel of the CDU provide True RMS current monitoring for onsite verification of the current draw (in Amps) on each power circuit. This Switched CDU has top front-panel network, serial, and environmental connections along with a bottom power cord entry.
Along with the original 24 outlets on the CDU, an expansion CDU can be linked to the master. Both the master and expansion can be controlled under one IP address. This product uses circuit breakers for branch circuit protection. This meets the UL 60950-1 requirement for branch circuit protection.
The three local current LED monitors provide True Digital RMS current monitoring for onsite verification of the current draw (in Amps) on each branch circuit and are critical for preventing overloads in high-density computing environments. Local and remote current meters on each branch circuit also make it easy to balance the load and ensure efficient operation when distributing power from 3-Phase circuits.
Distributing power within the Data Center at higher voltages increases efficiency and provides for cost savings. Efficiency is increased as losses are reduced by not having to convert the incoming power all the way down to 120 V as in standard 208 V power distribution systems. Also Servers run more efficiently at higher voltages again providing increased savings.

The Switched product line allows for network monitoring, management, and control of the CDU using either the serial interface, internal web interface or the Sentry Power Manager (SPM) Software System. Each Switched CDU that Server Technology produces, including this mixed-outlet 415V model, supports two external ten-foot probes used to monitor both temperature and humidity. Receive SNMP or email-based alerts when power or environmental conditions exceed thresholds and you can also preset automatic actions to be taken when conditions exceed user defined thresholds (such as having the CDU initiate a graceful shutdown of an attached device). Assign users specific access rights to designated outlets or groups. Reboot a single or dual-power server with one command.
