Hello,
HPE isn't very much help here. AC isn't really my thing. We only have 1 phase electricity here. All my equipment has C14 inlets. I do have the ability to run 240VAC to the rack / PDU.
I need to find an intelligent PDU, that supports those add-on's, the ones that tell you when the rack is open, when water is around the floor, the temperature / humidity, and you can log in remotely to turn outlets on / off, monitor the amount of electricity they're using, etc.
I believe all the HPE Intelligent series horizontal PDUs support these features.
Where I have trouble is finding the correct outlet to plug the PDU in, and finding the correct cords to go from the PDUs to my rack mount devices (all of which can support 240VAC).
Can anyone help me with this? Someone who knows what stuff like C13/C14, C18/C19 mean? I keep looking them up, but it gets confusing really quick like.
For requirements, just a quick run down, two 650 watt PSUs for a switch, two 1400 watt PSUs for a server, plus a few odds and ends, like maybe a monitor, and something that's upgradable (ie, we can add a second one or something if we expand). I'd rather have more outlets than I need right now.
But it's been like a week now that I've been dealing with them and I honestly think the people I'm talking to don't actually know a damn thing more about these then I do and are just looking at quick spec sheets.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
