Do any APC Rack PDUs support Emergency Power Off (EPO)?

[BillP]

My application requires that we be able to power down the entire rack using a single button mounted on the front (looks something like this: https://www.google.com/search?q=epo+switch&tbm=isch)

Do any of the APC Rack PDUs support connecting such an Emergency Power Off (EPO) switch, wired from a few feet away?

Thanks.

They do not natively, only [most of] of the UPS models support it. Ideally, your Rack PDU would be connected to the output of a UPS so you'd do the EPO function there, upstream. Either way, you'd probably have to EPO whatever the Rack PDU is connected to for it's input or come up with a creative solution on somehow cutting the power to the PDU.

Let me know if you have further questions.
