A new series of application notes have been created in conjunction with Cisco in order to help design engineers, application engineers and data center managers power Cisco’s Unified Computing System (UCS).
Server Tech model numbers for the configurations include: CS-18VY, CS-24V2, CS-12HD2, and CS-24V5. These application notes Illustrate power and redundancy for Cisco® UCS 5108 Blade Server Chassis and 6120XP 20-Port Fabric Interconnects in configuration with the Server Tech CS-18VY, CS-24V2, CS-12HD2, and CS-24V5 models.Key Benefits For This Configuration Include:
• Sentry Smart 3-Phase PDU’s reduce the number of PDU’s needed to deliver the power required by this cabinet configuration. This in turn reduces the number of power drops required for each Data Center cabinet.
• Fewer power cords means lower infrastructure costs, less poles taken up at the breaker panel and improved airflow in a raised floor environment resulting in improved cooling in the cabinet.
• Sentry Smart PDU’s allow administrators to view the current load and environmental conditions remotely.
• SNMP traps and email alerts ensure notification if a problem has occurred along with logging of all actions performed by the user.
• Local LED’s Per Branch Circuit or Phase- Large, easy-to-read displays let you determine if the load is balanced and provides visual indication that power is supplied to the PDU.
• Environmental measurements- Qty (2) temperature and (2) humidity measurements are provided per pair of PDU’s.
• Local and remote notification if a branch circuit is lost.
• Master and Link configuration (CS/CL) allows two power in-feeds and all environmental information to be monitored via a single IP address per cabinet.
The Cisco Unified Computing System is a next-generation data center platform that unites compute, network, storage access, and virtualization into a cohesive system designed to reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) and increase business agility.
