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.
The PowerHawk2 is a low cost unit suitable for the smallest Server Room through to the largest data centre, designed specifically to be used in the computer rack environment to monitor and control the power to the equipment within the rack, as well as monitoring the environmental parameters of temperature and humidity and other factors such as Door Open/Close, Water Sensing, Shock Sensing etc.
- SNMP agent specifically aimed and optimized for rack management, where all I/O and control functions may be monitored and controlled through the SNMP protocol.
- Ideal for per cabinet or per two cabinet installations.
- Supports up to 2 CL-Amp channels, 2 input channels,
- Supplied as 1U, 19” rack mountable unit.
- Designed to conform to the relevant CE and UL, FCC certification standards.
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.
