Power Strips
Power strips represent the last infrastructure component in delivering power to a device. Power strips are managed from the Power Distribution box in a Cabinet. To add a power strip press the Add CDU button in the Power Distribution box and fill out the displayed form. To update an existing Power Strip click its name in the Power Distribution box.
Database Information
The data for Power Strips is stored in the fac_PowerDistribution table, and references a foreign key of fac_PowerPanel.PanelID to determine the upstream panel or alternate panel.
Field Information
- PDUID - This is a unique key assigned by MySQL. It is referenced as a foreign key in the fac_PDUStats and fac_PowerConnection tables.
- Label - The name you assign to the power strip. It is highly recommended that you have a unique naming scheme across your enterprise for power strips.
- CabinetID - A foreign key reference to the Cabinet containing the Power Strip as defined in fac_Cabinet. The user will see the name given the Cabinet rather then the ID.
- TemplateID - A foreign key reference to the template for this model Power Strip as defined in fac_CDUTemplate. My guess is the user will see a template name based on the Manufacturer and Model, but I won't be able to determine that until I see v2.
- IPAddress - The IP address of the Power Strip to be used to query power strip information.
- SNMPCommunity - The SNMP Community name to be used to query power strip information.
- FirmwareVersion - The firmware version determined for the power strip via an SNMP query.
- PanelID - A foreign key reference to a Power Panel as defined in fac_PowerPanel. The user will see the name given to the Power Panel, rather than the ID, when choosing from the pick list.
- BreakerSize - The number of poles on the Power Panel breaker used to connect this Power Strip.
- PanelPole - The breaker pole number in the Power Panel used to connect this Power Strip.
- FailSafe - An indicator that the Power Strip is connected to a second Power Panel via an Automatic Transfer Switch.
- PanelID2 - A foreign key reference to a Power Panel as defined in fac_PowerPanel. The user will see the name given to the Power Panel, rather than the ID, when choosing from the pick list.
- PanelPole2 - The breaker pole number in the Power Panel used to connect this Power Strip.
