Copyright 2010 SynapSense Corporation Revision 1.0 9 SynapSense P3 SmartPlug Power Meter User Guide Introduction This document provides instructions for the installation and use of the SynapSense P3 SmartPlug Power Meter in data center server cabinets. P3 SmartPlug Power Meters are a hardware power-monitoring component within the SynapSense Wireless Data Center Monitoring and Energy Management Solution. Overview P3 SmartPlug Power Meter is an inline power meter providing electrical data via a wireless connection. The SmartPlug basically consists of a server power cord with a small SynapSense node mounted in the middle of the power cord. The node housing encloses a power meter and radio. Typically, all of the computer servers within a given server cabinet

(rack) are metered with SmartPlugs. The P3 SmartPlug Controller provides the wireless link between the SmartPlug meters and the SynapSense Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). The Controller aggregates power meter data from the SmartPlugs and reports via the WSN to the host server. The Controller is also capable of collecting server cabinet environmental data (intake and exhaust air temperatures for the server cabinet). The Controller also supports a door contact switch for use in alerting when server cabinet doors are left ajar.

* The lower max operating temperature of the Controller power supply brick is typically overcome by mounting the power supply outside of the server cabinet confines. The power cord for the Controller power supply is 1.8meters (6feet) on both sides of the brick. This long length allows the brick to mounted outside of the cabinet when the AC cord is plugged in to an outlet strip inside the cabinet and still reaching over to the Controller DC jack receptacle. 12 Revision 1.0 Copyright 2010 SynapSense Corporation SynapSense P3 SmartPlug Power Meter User Guide Part Number and Model Information P3 SmartPlug PowerMeter Part Number Explanation:

All P3 SmartPlug Powermeters will have a product label documenting the SynapSense part number. The part number breaks down as follows:

MODEL 0642:

Part numbers starting 99-0642 come with C13/C14 plugs, 18/3AWG cord, 10amp max MODEL 0643:

Part numbers starting 99-0643 come with C19/C20 plugs, 14/3AWG cord, 15amp max Copyright 2010 SynapSense Corporation Revision 1.0 13 SynapSense P3 SmartPlug Power Meter User Guide Installation The P3 SmartPlug is an inline power cord that replaces the power cord of the equipment to be monitored. The SmartPlug installation process requires the use of the SmartPlug Configuration Software Utility to associate the SmartPlug with the SmartPlug Controller and SynapSoft Web Console. The utility will also collect information about the server configuration and electrical outlet for use in the SynapSoft software. The SmartPlug is associated with the Controller by scanning (or manually entering) the SmartPlug identification number located on the product label. The Controller is connected to a PC (typically laptop) via the USB interface (USB Type A to Micro-B cable required). The Controllers association with the server cabinet (rack) that it is mounted on, along with rack environmentals, is also configured in the host server software (typically SynapSenses MapSense configuration utility).
