APC AP89XX Manuel D’Utilisation

Define the Name (the device name), Location (the physical location), and Contact (the person 
responsible for the device) used by StruxureWare Data Center Expert 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

(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 96.

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

Primary NTP Server

Enter the IP address or domain name of the primary NTP server.

Secondary NTP Server

Enter the IP address or domain name of the secondary NTP server, when a 
secondary server is available.

Time Zone

Select a time zone. The number of hours preceding each time zone in the list 
is the offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), formerly Greenwich 
Mean Time.

Update Interval

Define how often, in hours, the Rack PDU accesses the NTP Server for an 
update. Minimum: 1; Maximum: 8760 (1 year).

Update Using NTP Now

Initiate an immediate update of the date and time by the NTP Server.
