Disabling an Inlet (for Multi-Inlet PDUs)

The PXE, if it has more than one inlet, enables all inlets by default so that the PXE detects and displays all sensors' readings and states, and reports or shows warnings, events or alarm notifications associated with all inlets, outlets and overcurrent protectors (if available).

After disabling an inlet, the following information or feature is no longer available:

Exception: All active energy sensors continue to accumulate data regardless of whether any inlet has been disabled.

Warning: A disabled inlet, if remaining connected to a power source, continues to receive power from the connected power source and supplies power continuously to the associated outlets and overcurrent protectors.

  1. Click the Inlets folder in the PX Explorer pane, and the Inlets page opens in the right pane.
  2. Select the inlet that you want to disable.
  3. Click Setup.
  4. Select the "Disable this inlet" checkbox.
  5. To disable additional inlets, repeat the above steps.
  6. If disabling an inlet will result in all inlets being disabled, a confirmation dialog appears, indicating that all inlets will be disabled. Then click Yes to confirm this operation or No to abort it.
