The SLB has four outlets that can provide power to other units in an IT environment. Each outlet can be configured and controlled through the SLB. The SLB can issue an SNMP trap if the total current for all four outlets exceeds a specified threshold.
To configure a power outlet:
Note: The four red buttons (P1-P4) at the top of any page display the Device Ports – Power Outlets page.
Enter the following:
Switching Delay |
Number of milliseconds the SLB waits to switch on the next outlet in turn during a reboot. The default is 2000 msec (2 seconds). The range is 1000-2500 msec. |
Over Current Alarm |
If SNMP traps are enabled, a trap (alarm) is sent if the total current for all outlets exceeds a threshold. Enter the number of amps (measured in tenths of an amp) above which the SLB sends a trap. The maximum is 180. Note: If the alarm goes off, a warning message displays on the CLI. |
Current Level for all Outlets |
Displays the total load carried by the outlets. |
