Identification

Path: Administration > General > Identification

Define the Name (the device name), Location (the physical location), and Contact (the person

responsible for the device) used by StruxureWare for Data Centers and the SNMP agent of the Rack

PDU. These settings are the values used for the MIB-II sysName, sysContact, and sysLocation Object

Identifiers (OIDs).

For more information about MIB-II OIDs, see the PowerNet

SNMP Management Information Base

(MIB) Reference Guide, available at www.apc.com.

The Name and Location fields also identify the device when you register for APC Remote Monitoring

Service. See “Remote Monitoring Service” on page 97.

Set the Date and Time

Set the time and date used by the Rack PDU. You can change the current settings manually or through a

Network Time Protocol (NTP) Server:

• Manual Mode: Do one of the following:

– Enter the date and time for the Rack PDU.

– Mark the checkbox Apply Local Computer Time to match the date and time settings of the

computer you are using.

• Synchronize with NTP Server: Have an NTP Server define the date and time for the Rack PDU.

Note: By default, any Rack PDU on the private side of StruxureWare Data Center Expert obtains

its time settings by using StruxureWare Data Center Expert as an NTP server.

secondary server is available.
