Power Management (PM) Intelligent Power Distribution Units (IPDUs) can be
connected to the AUX port on a MergePoint 5224/5240 SP manager. Any combination of models
of Cyclades PM IPDUs can be daisy
-chained to support management of up to 128 outlets.
After an IPDU is connected to the AUX port, AC
-powered devices of any type can be plugged into
the IPDU. Authorized users can remotely manage power for the target devices after the
administrator performs the following tasks:
• Configures the AUX port for power management
• Configures the outlets on connected IPDUs by specifying names to identify devices that are
plugged into the outlets
• Authorizes users to power up and down devices connected to IPDU outlets
The administrator may also configure notifications of over

specified users.
