Wireless Power MonitoringGeist and Packet Power partnered to create the PWM intelligent wireless power strip. The unit transmits power data with no

additional cords and offers wireless access to the unit’s amps, volts,

watts, kWh and power factor.Currently available only in North America.

Geist offers the broadest range of power distribution units (PDUs) and custom options available, from robust basic units to sophisticated outlet level switching units. We specialize in build-to-order PDUs that meet the unique needs of each application.

Power MonitoringGeist’s power monitoring PDUs offer unit level and outlet level monitoring options. Unit level strips provide data for the entire PDU,

while outlet level power monitoring tracks each socket’s power

usage. Outlet level units come standard with locking receptacles.

Satellite PowerGeist’s line of satellite PDUs maximizes the remote reporting capacity

of a single IP address. Without a satellite PDU or a data aggregator

solution like Geist’s Racknet-A, data center managers wanting to

broaden the reach of their remote monitoring capabilities would have

to assign a single IP address to each intelligent PDU. Geist’s satellite

PDUs solve this problem by connecting remote capable devices

under the same IP address.

Satellite units are available in current monitoring, power monitoring

and switched versions.

Satellite units are available in current monitoring power monitoring

Switched PowerSwitched PDUs provide hands-on power control, even from

miles away. While monitored PDUs can display information

remotely, only switched PDUs offer the ability to monitor and

control individual power outlets via the Internet and smart phone

devices.

The Switched Ultra Series has outlet level power monitoring for

granular power consumption data of all equipment. A Max Group

Amps feature offers an extra level of protection by preventing

circuit overload via user-selected thresholds.

Local MonitoringCurrent monitored PDUs offer local monitoring to display usage

at a glance. This reduces the chances of overloading a PDU when

adding, removing or adjusting equipment.

The power meter offers detailed information through a scrolling

display of the four critical power measurements: Power Factor,

Amps, Volts and Watts. This information calculates kilowatt hours

to easily evaluate power costs and identify usage issues to prevent

critical failures.

Remote MonitoringGeist makes remote monitoring very simple. Just access a snapshot

reading of the power usage though any Internet connection. No

external software is needed, and it’s compatible with SNMP and XML

for easy tracking of critical data. SNMP data traps allow trending of the

data with DCiM software.

Inline monitoring allows for the retrofi t addition of an ammeter or

power meter to basic PDUs. Simply insert the monitor between the

PDU and the power source to display accurate measurements.

Transfer SwitchGeist’s Auto Transfer Switch provides redundant power for single-

corded data center equipment. If the primary power source fails, the

transfer switch automatically shifts to a secondary source, ensuring

uninterrupted service. Once the power from the primary source is

restored, the unit automatically switches back to the original source

of power.

Basic PDUs come in 19-inch horizontal lengths and vertical lengths

from 17 to 72 inches. Each unit is constructed with heavy-duty,

powder-coated steel housings.

Basic Power StripsReliable power distribution with optional local current and power

displays for on-site performance tracking.

Surge: Random voltage spikes can cause real, irreparable damage

to critical equipment. Surge suppression is ideal for smaller

environments that don’t have protective surge suppression at the

facility level or just when additional protection is needed.

Non-Surge: For facilities already equipped with surge protection,

Geist offers non-surge units with or without local meter displays.

Geist also has a wide variety of electrical options with Amp ratings

ranging from 15A to 120A in both NEMA and IEC confi gurations.

800.432.3219 -5-

Locking ReceptaclesGeist offers IEC C13 and C19 receptacles with an integrated locking

feature. Built within the receptacle housing, the locking mechanism

is protected against vibration and external elements that can easily

dislodge external locking clips or guides. This self-contained locking

mechanism works with any standard IEC plug. Locking receptacles

come standard on some units and are available for custom orders.

Tested to 1% AccuracyGeist’s outlet power monitoring line of PDUs passed a rigorous

battery of independent U.S. and international accuracy testing.

These tests ensure users Geist’s PDUs measure within 1 percent

accuracy of power readings recorded at the outlet level, and within

1 percent of the voltage, frequency and temperature readings. Geist

is one of the few PDU manufacturers to validate the accuracy of its

power monitoring units through independent testing.

International Accuracy Requirements IEC 62053-21 (Class 1)

US ANSI C12.1 Accuracy Requirements (Class A).

Low-Profi le BreakersGeist’s low-profi le breakers reduce the PDU depth by over 40

percent compared to traditional breakers. The slimmer design

protects against electrical overloads and allows the PDUs to be

easily installed in data center cabinets with limited space.

Geist offers low-profi le breakers as a standard feature on select

basic and intelligent PDU confi gurations. Customers may choose

to incorporate the smaller breaker design on applicable custom

PDU orders.

Passive Cabinet Containment Opengate offers the most fl exible cooling option on the market

today. With Opengate Passive Cabinet Containment, low-density

cabinets can take advantage of a simple chimney solution to

manage modest loads. Then, as cabinet densities begin to

increase, the passive system can be upgraded quickly to an

Intelligent Containment System.

COOL

Maximize IT density and lower operating costs by intelligently controlling hot air.

Pressure sensor information is fed into the software which is then

translated into commands that raise or lower fan speeds based

on the server load.

Passive Cabinet Containment occupies zero fl oor space and

mounted above the rack allows for maximum cabinet space.

Intelligent Cabinet or Row ContainmentThe Opengate Intelligent Containment System centers on two

critical components: 1) containing heat and 2) expelling heat

directly to the CRAC units. This two-step focus maintains the ideal

temperature for data center equipment.

The first step is addressed by Opengate’s expertly manufactured

chimneys and enclosures. The second step relies on sophisticated

sensors to control fan speeds and exhaust hot air through the

chimneys at the most efficient rate. The combination of hot air

containment and intelligently controlled fan speeds creates a

consistent climate-controlled environment in the data center and

within the cabinet rows.

Opengate is available for virtually every new or existing cabinet

model and confi guration. Geist has developed a vast library

of cabinet-specifi c installation kits that include cabinet tops,

blanking panels and mounting hardware. If a new cabinet or row

confi guration is required, Geist’s team of design engineers will

deliver a solution in days.

Optional placement of Geist cooling units avoids overhead

obstructions such as cable trays.

Wall Mount Ceiling Mount

Small Room CoolingThe RAC10 system evacuates heat from a small space and sends

it to the outside corridor or ceiling plenum return. The unit allows a

room to breathe which leads to a perfectly controlled environment

for small computer and network rooms using building air. The

unit interfaces with temperature sensors to adjust fan speeds as

temperatures rise and fall while providing the needed visibility-

to-cooling capacity, environmental information and alarms. The

RAC10's Web interface provides remote alarms and management

for superior visibility and control of room environment. The Opengate RAC10 system can be mounted to the wall or the

ceiling for automated heat exhaust and critical monitoring and alerts.

An optional Duct Kit can be ordered if required. The dimensions of

the RAC10 fan enclosure are 21" W x 14" L.

Opengate Switch Cooling guides cool air to network

devices mounted in non-ideal locations within the cabinet.

Active fans may be incorporated as confi guration, size and

airfl ow requirements demand.

Switch CoolingNetwork switches, load balancers and routers are often mounted

in the back of a cabinet for convenient cabling connections.

Unfortunately, devices installed at the back of cabinets can

be critically damaged or may go offl ine when they are fed

pre-heated air from the servers. Opengate Switch Cooling

addresses this issue by delivering cool air to network devices

regardless of where they are mounted. Switch Cooling products

are available in a wide range of confi gurations and rack space

sizes. Designed to work with 1U to 9U devices and beyond,

Opengate Switch Cooling channels air to every kind of intake/

exhaust confi guration imaginable.
