3 Interchangeable Monitoring Device
The Interchangeable Monitoring Device (IMD) is the core behind the Geist Upgradable
line of power products. The IMD can be replaced and upgraded to allow data-center

3.1 Basic
The Basic Geist Upgradable PDU is the baseline for the GU line of products. It is built
with the IMD-01X module, and provides low cost power distribution with the option of
being able to upgrade to add monitoring and other features in the future.
3.2 Monitored
The Monitored Geist Upgradable PDU is an advanced option for data centers that
need full remote monitoring and alarms. It is built with the IMD-02X module, which
provides dual Ethernet ports and a local display.
1. Dual Ethernet Ports: The Dual Ethernet ports act as a 2-port Ethernet switch,
allowing for multiple devices to be daisy-chained.
2. Hard-Reboot Button: Pressing the hard-reboot button reboots the IMD. This acts
as a power-cycle for the IMD, and does not change or remove any user
information.
3. Network-Reset Button: Holding the network-reset button for 15 seconds during
normal operation will restore the default IP address and reset the user accounts.
Holding the network-reset button during power-up will reset all of the unit's settings
back to factory-default values.
4. Local Display: The local display will display the phase, line, and circuit current
values (in Amperes).
5. Display Buttons: There are 3 buttons near the IMD display; a back button, a
forward button, and a center button. The functions of these buttons are as follows:
