The PowerHawk2 is a compact device used to monitor up to 2 power strips within a rack enclosure, along with two input sensors (2x Temp, 2x Humidity, 2x Digital). The unit comprises both an SNMP interface and a secure web based interface for monitoring and management. |
Power Strip monitoring
The unit will read the Voltage, Current and kVA reading from each connected
strip and store the data in SNMP MIB objects, to be available to the Network
Management System using the SNMP protocol. Thresholds for the monitored Voltage,
Current and kVA may be set, and then if these thresholds are exceeded SNMP
alarm traps will be transmitted to the NMS. Additionally, the power strip
data may be viewed via HTML pages.
Environmental monitoring
Two auto-sensing analogue input ports are supported, allowing a temperature,
humidity and digital probe to be used. Any combination of the two sensor types
may be used – two temperature, two humidity, or one of each type. Thresholds
may be set by the user, and alarms will be generated as SNMP traps if the
thresholds are exceeded. Again, the environmental data may be viewed via HTML
pages.
The unit also includes a D9 port to link to an optional LCD display module
which allows the Sensor and PDU information to be displayed at the local rack.
