Vertiv Geist Monitored Rack PDU 32A 230V 7.3kW Vertical 0U, 36x C13 + 6x C19, Unit-Level Monitoring
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Vertiv Geist Monitored Rack PDU 32A 230V 7.3kW Vertical 0U, 36x C13 + 6x C19 (CP8853, 14240242) - 3 Years Local Warranty
Remote Power Visibility for Every Rack
The Vertiv™ Geist™ CP8853 (14240242) is a Monitored (unit level) rack PDU rated 32A at 230V (7.3kW). Vertiv’s Monitored rPDUs “provide power usage remotely with access to the rPDU current, voltage, real power, apparent power, power factor and kilowatt hours”, with breaker-level current monitoring so you can see how close each circuit is to its limit.
With 42 outlets on a single 32A feed, it suits densely populated racks of 1U servers and switches. Vertiv also notes that the monitoring device on select units is hot-swappable, so monitoring features can be upgraded without taking down IT equipment.
Outlet Mix for Servers, Storage and Network Gear
Outlets: 36 x C13 + 6 x C19. C13 outlets suit servers, switches and storage with C14 inlets (up to 10A each); C19 outlets take higher-current C20-inlet equipment such as blade chassis and larger storage (up to 16A each).
Space-Saving 0U Vertical Installation
The vertical 0U chassis mounts in the rear channel of the rack, leaving every U free for IT equipment. Vertiv specifies toolless mounting on 1560 mm and 1645 mm centres. The 3 m input cord ends in an IEC 60309 32A 2P+E (IP44) plug for a dedicated 32A single-phase commando socket, the common rack feed in Singapore data centres.
Network Management and Environmental Sensing
Dual 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports support fault-tolerant daisy chaining with RSTP, which Vertiv says ensures data is still reported when a break occurs in the chain. The PDU speaks SNMP v1/v2c/v3, HTTPS, SSH, LDAP, RADIUS and TACACS+, exports CSV/JSON datalogs and offers a JSON API. One RJ sensor jack supports up to 16 optional Vertiv temperature, humidity, airflow and leak sensors.

Compatibility & Software Support
Power Supply
Needs a 32A single-phase 230V supply terminated in an IEC 60309 2P+E (blue) socket. Ask your facility or electrician to confirm the circuit breaker upstream is rated for 32A continuous. Load across all outlets must not exceed 7.3kW.
Equipment Cords
C13 outlets take equipment cords with a C14 plug end; C19 outlets take C20 plug ends. Devices with a standard Singapore BS 1363 plug need an IEC C14-terminated cord instead.
Software & DCIM
Monitor from a web browser (HTTP/HTTPS) or any SNMP v1/v2c/v3 NMS; authenticate against LDAP, RADIUS or TACACS+; pull data via JSON API or CSV/JSON datalogs; send alerts via SMTP and Syslog. Daisy chaining over RSTP keeps the chain reporting through a single break.
Sensors
One RJ sensor jack supports up to 16 optional Vertiv environmental sensors (temperature, humidity/dew point, airflow, water leak and similar), ordered separately.
