Server Technology Switched PDU - 3.6kW, STV-4501D

The Server Technology PRO2 Switched PDU delivers precise control of outlet power and real-time local LED input current monitoring. Designed for data centers, server rooms, and high-density rack environments, this 3.6 kW module provides granular per-outlet management, per-phase loading insights, and billing-grade metering through integral PIPS technology. IT professionals rely on the STV-4501D to manage power on a per-rack basis, optimize startup sequencing, and prevent overloads that could disrupt critical services. This switched PDU combines robust construction with intelligent power management to help you maximize uptime, protect equipment, and optimize energy usage across your infrastructure.

• Per-outlet switched control lets you remotely power-cycle individual outlets, enabling safe startup sequences, targeted maintenance, and rapid fault isolation without affecting neighboring equipment.
• Local LED input current monitoring provides at-a-glance visibility of current by phase, reducing the need for external tools during routine checks and quick diagnostics.
• Per-phase loading insights help IT teams prevent overloads, extend component life, and plan capacity as rack density grows and workloads evolve.
• Integral PIPS technology delivers billing-grade metering accuracy across outlets, supporting detailed energy reporting, chargeback, and compliance needs.
• Engineered for rugged data-center deployment, the STV-4501D fits in standard 1U rack space with durable construction, reliable power distribution, and thoughtful cable management for tidy installs.

How to Install Server Technology STV-4501D

Step 1: Prepare your rack and mount the STV-4501D in a suitable 1U rack space. Align mounting holes with the rack rails and secure the chassis using the appropriate screws to ensure a stable installation.

Step 2: Connect the input power cord to the PDU’s input connector and plug into a compatible power source that meets the 3.6 kW rating. Verify that the supply voltage and phase align with your data-center power distribution scheme.

Step 3: Route and organize outlet cables to servers and networking gear. Use the per-outlet control capabilities to establish an orderly startup sequence, enabling essential devices to power on first while other equipment remains off until load conditions are verified.

Step 4: Power on the equipment and use the local LED indicators to monitor current per phase. If available, access any integrated management interface to verify outlet status, adjust load distribution, and confirm proper metering is active.

Step 5: Perform a final load check to ensure the total load remains within the 3.6 kW capacity. Confirm proper ventilation around the PDU and ensure cables are neatly organized to prevent over-heating and interference with airflow.

Frequently asked questions

• What is the STV-4501D used for?
  The STV-4501D is a 1U switched PDU designed for rack-mounted equipment, providing per-outlet power control, local current monitoring, and billing-grade metering to manage energy usage and protect devices in data centers and server rooms.
• How does per-phase monitoring benefit my environment?
  Per-phase monitoring enables you to see load distribution across different phases, helping prevent overloads, optimize cooling, plan capacity upgrades, and reduce the risk of brownouts or equipment failure due to uneven loading.
• Can I manage outlets remotely?
  Yes. The PRO2 switched PDU family supports remote control of individual outlets, enabling startup sequencing, maintenance, and fault isolation without physically accessing the rack.
• What is PIPS technology?
  PIPS stands for a metering technology that provides billing-grade accuracy for energy usage, supporting precise reporting, cost allocation, and chargeback processes within data-center operations.
• Is the STV-4501D suitable for high-density racks?
  Yes. With 3.6 kW of capacity and a compact 1U form factor, the STV-4501D is well-suited for high-density rack environments that require granular power control and reliable metering without occupying excessive space.
