The iPDU provides detailed SNMP and email alerts showing alert origination by iPDU , load
segment, and outlet as well as alert description, value, and trigger.The iPDU allows SNMP queries for data collection
This answer is a bit misleading since the iPDU’s talk to each other via PLC. One or more of the
iPDU’s can be connected to an Ethernet Port for remote access, view and control. Each iPDU has
an embedded web interface for control and management Each IEC C19 on the HP Intelligent PDU
incorporates out of band power line communications (PLC) technology to communicate with either
the Standard Extension Bars or the Intelligent Extension bars Power line communications (
Intelligent Power Discovery [IPD] enabled) power cables [PLC with IDP]
Each IDP enabled power cable incorporates RS232 serial connections to enable Intelligent Power
Discovery.
Power Discovery Services with Intelligent Power Discovery uses out of band power line
communications to transfer server identity information between the HP Common Slot Platinum
Power Supplies and the HP Intelligent PDU’s Intelligent Extension Bars and automatically maps
the server to outlets on the iPDU.
IDP enabled cables and connectors conform to standard IEC specifications and sizes.
When combined with HP ProLiant rack mount servers all outlets can be used with either IDP
enabled power cables or standard IEC jumper cables. Intelligent Power Discovery requires IDP
enabled power cables and Common Slot Platinum Power Supplies with PLC connectors on
ProLiant DL servers or BLc Single Phase Intelligent Power Module equipped HP BladeSystem
