Raritan: EMX2-111
Description:
END OF LIFE- REPLACED BY SRC Range EMX2-111 - Raritan EMX2-111 is a 1U rack and environmental management appliance. Smart rack controller with 1 RJ-12 sensor port, 1 RJ-45 feature port for AMS, 1 RJ-45 RS-485 port, 1 USB-A port, 1 USB-B port, 1 RJ-45 Ethernet port, 1 DB-9M console/modem, LCD display It serves as a hub that monitors sensors including temperature, humidity, airflow, air pressure, smoke, door open and contact closure. A Web-based EMX GUI allows you to remotely see the location of each IT device from this base hub unit or pass the information on to Raritan’s dcTrack DCIM software. - Works with Raritan’s Power IQ® energy management software and dcTrack® DCIM software - Up to 16 sensors per EMX2-111 - Wired or wireless network options - USB camera option Every data center has some method of monitoring temperature even if it is just a thermometer or a thermostat on a data center wall. But today, that is hardly considered a best practice. The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) recommends measuring the cool air entering IT equipment near the bottom, in the middle and near the top of each IT rack. Today, many data center managers want to equip their racks with ways to detect water, smoke or when a cabinet door is opened. Some want to install cameras for security so they can spot changes or remotely view the physical environment. Raritan’s smart rack controller allows you to use any of Raritan’s sensors such as temperature and humidity, Raritan’s Power IQ® energy management software, or the asset management solution composed of the AMT and AMS intelligent asset tags, and dcTrack® data center infrastructure management (DCIM) software or a third-party asset management system with SNMP capability. The 1U device functions as an SNMP gateway with ports for Raritan’s 1-Wire® sensors, as well as ports for RS-485 serial, KVM, DB-9 modem/console, USB-A and USB-B and contact closure. Raritan EMX offers an ever-expanding range of quality plug-and-play sensors that include temperature, humidity, contact closure, air flow and air pressure. - Plug into Dominion PX rack PDU or EMX - User-configurable high and low thresholds and alerts are supported by Raritan’s Dominion PX and Power IQ
Features:
- Wired and wireless network connectivity
- Works with Raritan’s asset management tags and
environmental sensors
- Works with Raritan’s energy management software
Raritan’s rack monitoring solution helps you manage the physical environment of your rack. With this solution and the appropriate sensors you can:
• Minimize the hours needed to track IT assets, thereby saving time and money
• Ensure uptime by monitoring racks for possible hot spots
• Save on cooling costs by confidently raising data center temperatures
• Maintain cabinet security with USB webcams and contact closure sensors
• Improve data center uptime by receiving environment alerts
• Optimize strategic and tactical decision making for the IT environment by tracking IT changes and growth in real time
The EMX brings connectivity for Raritan sensors, serial devices, KVM switches, USB devices and Ethernet connections to IT racks. If a data center has Raritan PX® rack PDUs, then these connections are supported. But if the data center uses other rack PDUs, the EMX provides up to eight sensor, serial and KVM switch connections, as well as others, in a 1U form factor. One EMX can support sensors and other devices for several racks.
The EMX has 1-Wire ports for Raritan sensors as well as the following ports: RS-485, KVM, DB-9 console, Ethernet, and USB-A and USB-B.
The EMX serves as an SNMP gateway between Raritan’s sensors, Raritan’s AMS, console, USB devices (including USB console) and, via Ethernet, connects to Raritan’s software solutions such as Power IQ® energy management software and dcTrack® DCIM software
For small data centers, one EMX can bring the data from a variety of sensors into one, manageable location. For medium-size and larger data centers Power IQ and dcTrack can consolidate the data from several EMXs, as well as PX iPDUs, making data center management faster and easier.
EMX111 plus some compatible sensors, asset tag system, extra feature port camera compatibility. (Not Included)
