Sentry CDU-24V-3Ph
Three-phase Switched Power Control
via IP, 24 outlets with LED input current displays,
branch circuit protection and IP monitoring ; high-density.
The Sentry CDU combines remote configuration
and management with power distribution, power monitoring
and environmental monitoring. Reboot a single or
dual-power server with one command. Receive SNMP
alerts when power or environmental conditions exceed
thresholds. Assign users specific access rights
to designated outlets or groups.
Only the Sentry CDU products provide
the flexibility needed for all data centers and
remote sites, including power requirements for high-amp,
high voltage; UL 60950-1 branch circuit protection;
SSL & SSH security; and SNMP-based input current
monitoring.
The Sentry CDU also supports Enterprise
View PDU Manager. This gives the engineer the ability
to manage a large installation of Networked CDUs
from one location, view and access up to 1,000 Switched
CDUs from a single web interface.

Sentry CDU-24V-3Ph Product Details:
Sentry CDU-24V-3Ph SSL Web Browser:
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a commonly-used protocol
for managing the security of a message transmission
on the Internet. SSL is an integral part of most
Web browsers (clients) and Web servers. Sentry supports
SSLv3/TLSv1.
Sentry CDU-24V-3Ph HTTP/HTTPs
Web Configuration & Control: Use the Sentry
Web interface to configure each unit, including
network settings, outlet naming & grouping, SNMP
traps for environmental & power thresholds and firmware
updates. Also use the Web interface to control individual
or group outlets and monitor environmental conditions.
SSL security provides a secure HTTPs connection.
Sentry CDU-24V-3Ph Remote Outlet
Grouping & Control: Assign outlets to a group
for control of dual-power supply servers and other
gear with a single command. Create an unlimited
number of groups with any combination of outlets
associated to each group.
Sentry CDU-24V-3Ph SSH Management:
Secure Shell (SSH), sometimes known as Secure Socket
Shell, is a Unix-based command interface and protocol
for securely getting access to a remote device.
Sentry supports SSHv2.
Sentry CDU-24V-3Ph SNMP Management:
The Sentry family of products supports the Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP). This allows
network management systems to use SNMP requests
to retrieve information and control power for the
individual outlets. The Sentry includes an SNMP
v1 agent supporting standard MIB I and MIB II objects.
A private enterprise MIB extension (Sentry3 MIB)
is also supported to provide remote power control.
Sentry CDU-24V-3Ph LDAP: LDAP (Lightweight
Directory Access Protocol) is a software protocol
for enabling anyone to locate organizations, individuals,
and other resources such as files and devices in
a network, whether on the public Internet or on
a corporate intranet.
Sentry firmware code 5.3b and newer includes support
for LDAP v3 and is configurable to operate with
any Directory Service. It has been tested with these
Directory Services:
- Microsoft's Active Directory
- Novell's eDirectory
- OpenLDAP
Sentry CDU-24V-3Ph RS-232 Control:
Serial control via any device with a bi-directional
serial port, including a PC, laptop, KVM switch,
Console Port Access switch, or terminal server.
Sentry CDU-24V-3Ph Telnet Management:
Telnet is a user command and an underlying TCP/IP
protocol for accessing remote computers.
Sentry CDU-24V-3Ph SNMP Traps
for Event Notification: SNMP traps can be generated
for various events, including Input Current Load
Thresholds (min & max), Temperature Thresholds (min
& max), Humidity Thresholds (min & max), water indication,
closed contacts (cabinet doors open/close), as well
as notification of any time an outlet status is
changed (on/off).
Sentry CDU-24V-3Ph Power-Up Sequencing:
Prevent a power in-rush from overloading the power
circuit. In the event of a power loss, this key
feature prevents all power-outlet receptacles from
powering on at once - averting the potential for
a power in-rush to blow a fuse or circuit breaker
in the data center. Instead, the power-outlet receptacles
power-on in two-second intervals, allowing each
device to safely boot-up. Power-up sequencing is
a default hardware setting. User adjustable.
Sentry CDU-24V-3Ph True RMS Input
Current Monitoring: Input Current Monitoring
in Sentry power products is reported as the cumulative
load (in amps) on each power circuit so that data
center managers can obtain the data they need to
plan their power requirements and to monitor power
to their IT equipment. Input Current is reported
in Amps and can be viewed locally on the enclosure
via an LED Digital Display and remotely, when applicable,
via the firmware interface.
Sentry CDU-24V-3Ph High-amp In-rush
Protection: High-Amp In-rush relays accommodate
the extremely high power in-rush spikes from today's
switching power supplies.
Sentry CDU-24V-3Ph Multiple Concurrent
Users: Multiple concurrent users allows several
users to be logged into a Sentry at the same time.
In this way, different users, with access rights
to only their equipment, can reboot their device(s)
when they need to, without waiting for another user
to log out of the Sentry unit.
Sentry CDU-24V-3Ph 24-character
Outlet Receptacles Names: Use the firmware interface
(Web or serial) to edit individual outlet receptacles.
Identify each receptacle with the device's serial
number, IP address, asset allocation #, department
or any other method to individually name outlets.
Sentry CDU-24V-3Ph 20-Amp Power
Input Support: 20-amp Power Input Support. IEC320/C20
power inlet receptacles supports any power cord
with IEC320/C19 power connector (PTCORD-XX).
Sentry CDU-24V-3Ph 30-Amp Power
Input Support: 30-amp Power Input Support. Hard-wired
with 10'cord and appropriate L5-30 or L6-30 plug
type.
Sentry CDU-24V-3Ph Zero U Enclosure:
A vertical enclosure that occupies Zero Vertical
U of rack space in the equipment cabinet. It mounts
on the back rails or in the cavity space of the
cabinet.
Sentry CDU-24V-3Ph LED Digital
Display Input Current Monitor: Easy viewing
display on the face of the enclosure that reports
the True RMS Power Monitoring of the aggregate load
on the power circuit (in amps). The Input Current
Display allows installation engineers to verify
the real-time current draw on the power circuit.
This eliminates the guesswork of estimating the
current draw and prevents the costly mistake of:
1) overestimating and requiring extra power drops
installed or 2) underestimating and overloading
a circuit - putting the enter cabinet at risk if
a circuit breaker at the main PDU trips.
Sentry CDU-24V-3Ph Integrate
Environmental Monitoring: The EMCU integrates
easily with the Power Tower XL, or other Sentry
Remote Power Manager. Locate the EMCU in an equipment
cabinet with a PTXL, link it to the PTXL and view
temperature, humidity, water sensing and dry contact
closures from the same PTXL interface you use to
manage & monitor the power.
Sentry CDU-24V-3Ph Authentication:
16-character Username & Password required for
network administrators & user accounts. Multiple
user accounts can be established with access rights
only to designated outlets.
Sentry CDU-24V-3Ph Branch Circuit
Protection: Sentry PDUs are safety-agency certified
to the new UL 60950-1 standard (CSA/UL/TUV) & the
National Electrical Code (NEC), which require branch
circuit protection for receptacles.
Sentry CDU-24V-3Ph Firmware Flash
Upgradeable: Access new firmware updates via
FTP for new firmware features and code releases.
An update to the firmware does not affect the status
of the power outlets.
Sentry CDU-24V-3Ph Remote Individual
Outlet control: Reduce Mean Time to Repair
(MTTR) of a failing server by controlling individual
power outlet receptacles to reboot any selected
server or other device.
Sentry CDU-24V-3Ph Always-On Outlets:
Outlets are powered-on in their default state.
User action is required to perform a power-off or
reboot to change the status of each power outlet
receptacle's relay.
Sentry CDU-24V-3Ph Integrated
Temp/Humidity Probes: Two (2) RJ-style connectors
located on the face panel of the PDU's enclosure
provide support for two (2) Integrated Temperature
& Humidity Probes with six-foot (6') cables provide
real-time measurements in the data center cabinet.
Sentry CDU-24V-3Ph HTTP/HTTPs
Web Monitoring: Use the Web interface
to access and monitor key values, including amperage
load(s), temperature/humidity and other environmental
factors.
Sentry CDU-24V-3Ph Fuse-protected
outlets: Power Outlet protection provided
by fuses.
Sentry CDU-24V-3Ph EV-200:
Enterprise View 200 auto discovers up to 200
Sentry devices.

Sentry CDU-24V-3Ph Remote Power
Control: Individual or group outlet remote
power control to cycle power and reboot any selected
server(s) or other network device(s). Use TCP/IP
(HTTP, HTTPS, SSH, Telnet, SNMP) or RS-232 to communicate
with each Sentry and rectify locked-up network devices.
