Power Strips

Power strips represent the last infrastructure component in delivering power to a device. Power strips are managed from the Power Distribution box in a Cabinet. To add a power strip press the Add CDU button in the Power Distribution box and fill out the displayed form. To update an existing Power Strip click its name in the Power Distribution box.

Database Information

The data for Power Strips is stored in the fac_PowerDistribution table, and references a foreign key of fac_PowerPanel.PanelID to determine the upstream panel or alternate panel.
