Submenu

Power

Active Power

Provides the calculated value of the overall input,
displayed in watts (W)

Apparent Power

Provides the calculated value of the overall input,
displayed in Volt-amperes (VA)

Instantaneous Headroom Watts

Provides the watts capacity remaining

NOTE:

When the rPDU is in an overload state, this value

is always 0.

Peak Headroom Watts

Provides the remaining watts available to support the
load at peak demand

Peak Consumption Watts

Provides the peak power demand on the rPDU with

time

and date stamp of the most recent data update

Cumulative kWh Consumption

Provides the total kWh usage with

time and date stamp

of the most recent data update

NOTE:

This value accumulates. If this value reaches the

maximum value for a 32-bit number, do not reset.

Environment

No sensors connected

Displays dashes on both Temperature and Humidity
screens.

Only Temperature sensor connected

Displays the temperature in °C on the Temperature
screen. Displays dashes on the Humidity screen.

Temperature and Humidity sensors
connected

Displays the temperature in °C on the Temperature
screen. Displays the humidity percentage on the
Humidity screen.

Measured and Calculated Meters

The rPDU operating status information provided by the Performance menu selections is derived from a series of
measured and calculated meters. See Table 9 for descriptions of measured and calculated meters.

Table 9. Measured and Calculated Meters

Meter

Unit

Description

Input Voltage

Volts (V)

Present voltage measured at the 3

f input of the rPDU

Input Frequency

Hertz (Hz)

Present frequency measured at the input of the rPDU

Input Current

Amps (A)

Present current measured at 3

f input of the rPDU

Input Watts

Watts (W)

Calculated value of the overall input W of the rPDU (active power)

Input Volt-amperes

Volt-amperes (VA)

Calculated value of the overall input VA of the rPDU (apparent power)

Instantaneous Headroom
Watts

Watts (W)

Present W capacity remaining for the rPDU

NOTE:

This value is an absolute value calculated from the W rating of

rPDU deducted from the W being consumed.

Peak Headroom Watts
(with time stamp)

Watts (W)

Remaining W available to support the load at peak demand

NOTE:

This value is based on the lowest value set for that Instantaneous

Headroom Watts. The value can be reset from the LCD or the internal
Dell Network Management Card (NMC).
