Working with rack ATS

[EcoStruxureIT]

There are two types of genomes:

• Simple rack ATS: Does not have extended information (banks, type of outlets)
• Extended rack ATS: Includes extra information (banks, breakers, inlets, outlets)

Before using a rack ATS, you must add one from the local Genome library to the rack:

To add power suppliers to the rack:

1. In the Floor Layout, right click the rack and select Properties > Power.
2. In the Properties dialog, choose one of the following:
   1. Select a rack PDU and click Edit to enter the connection details.
   2. Select a floor standing PDU and add a new power receptacle.
   3. Select a rack mount PDU (if it is already added to the rack).
3. Right-click the ATS in a rack and go to Properties > Power Dependency.

Working with simple rack ATSs

Defining the upstream connection

The upstream connection is a connection from the power supplier to the rack ATS. You must define power suppliers in the rack to establish a connection.

Connecting a simple rack ATS to a simple rPDU (3-phase breaker)

Because both the ATS inlet type and rPDU outlet types are unknown, the connection may be defined by choosing a phase that is available on the rPDU’s breaker. Be sure to choose the correct phase that matches the ATS inlet type.

Connecting a simple rack ATS to an extended RPDU (3-phase breaker)

Define the rPDU outlet to use for the connection. The power outlet list contains all PDU outlets that are not occupied by other connections. You must be aware to select the correct outlet and phase.

Connecting a simple rack ATS via power receptacle

You must choose the power receptacle available in the list. There is no validation between the phase on the receptacle’s breaker and the ATS inlet type. The phase is taken from the breaker.

Defining the downstream connection

To connect a server to a simple ATS:

1. Right click the server you want to connect and select Properties > Power.

In the Power Cable Connection section, choose a device and phase that is available on the primary connection of the ATS.

Working with extended rack ATSs

Defining the upstream connection

Connecting extended  rack ATS via simple rPDU (3-phase breaker)

Choose the power phase for primary and secondary connections.

In this case, the ATS inlet type is known, and the list of of available phases filters out non-matching phases.

Connecting extended rack ATS via extended rPDU

In this case you must define which outlet of the rPDU is used for the connection. The power outlet list contains all PDU outlets that are not occupied by other connections. The list does not contain outlets where the pin configuration does not match the server’s inlet.

Connecting extended rack ATS via power receptacle

You must choose the power receptacle available in the list. The list is restricted to the receptacles (phase) matching the ATS inlet type.

Defining downstream connection

Connecting the server to a simple ATS:

1. Right click a server you want to connect and choose: Properties > Power

In Power Cable Connection sections, choose a device and outlet that are available on the primary connection of extended ATS:

Power outlet list contains only outlet types that match the server inlet type.
