Marketing Information | The Lenovo zero-U (0U) Basic and Switched and Monitored power distribution units (PDUs) are the ideal solutions when you need flexible, reliable, easy-to-deploy power distribution with branch circuit protection to minimize downtime. These rack-dense units distribute power to up to 48 outlets and 42 outlets. 0U PDUs are designed to be installed vertically in the rear channel of a Lenovo rack, thereby not consuming any horizontal rack space that otherwise be used by servers, storage and network switches (hence the term 0U). Did you know? With ever growing power densities in today's rack environments, it is all too easy to add load in the wrong place and trigger an overload event. The 0U Basic and Switched and Monitored PDU offerings can minimize this impact, providing the ability to quickly recover with resettable circuit breakers for each designated bank of receptacles, referred to as load groups. Breakers are color coded to the receptacles in a particular load group to aid in configuration, installation, and maintenance. Furthermore, the Basic PDUs offer a costeffective option to users who do not require intelligence. The Switched and Monitored PDUs also offer individual outlet remote monitoring and switching (on/off), which allow for remote power sequencing and further helping to prevent unintended PDU overloading. |
