2.5.2 RCI-related setting function

This function is supported by all models except PRIMEPOWER1. SMC provides the RCI-setting function for the PRIMEPOWER800/1000/2000 model group, the PRIMEPOWER900/1500/2500/HPC2500 model group, and the GP7000F model 1000/2000 group. Accordingly, use SMC for these model groups.

The RCI-related setting function makes settings related to the power/environment control interface.

The table below outlines the RCI-related setting functions.

The available menu items depend on the main unit model to be monitored.

For a PRIMEPOWER200/400/600 or GP7000F model 200/200R/400/400R/400A/600/600R, see Section 3.1.2, "Main Unit Models and Available Menus."

For a PRIMEPOWER250/450, see Section 3.2.2, "Main Unit Models and Available Menus."

For a PRIMEPOWER650/850/900/1500/2500/HPC2500, see Section 3.3.2, "Main Unit Models and Available Menus."

For a PRIMEPOWER800/1000/2000 or GP7000F model 1000/2000, see Section 3.4.2, "Main Unit Models and Available Menus."

Y : This setting is made at installation of the main unit.

*1: This setting is made as required.

- : No setting to be made.

Function name	Outline	Whether or not a setting is made (Name(s) of person(s) in charge are enclosed in parentheses.).
Displaying a List of RCI Devices	Displays the RCI status of the main unit and a list of the devices connected to RCI. The following shows the RCI information to be displayed. RCI address Status address pwr alm I/F sys-phase ctgry dev-cls sub-cls tm-out	-
Confirming the RCI-connected Units	Blinks the CHECK LEDs of the RCI devices and associates the RCI addresses with the RCI devices.	-
Reconfiguring the RCI Network (RCI Device Addition)	When a new RCI device is connected, sets it up in the RCI network. The time required to complete the setting depends on the number of cabinets connected to the network.	*1 (Customer engineer)
Setting the RCI Host Address	Sets RCI host addresses. Set RCI host addresses so that they are not duplicated.	*1 (Customer engineer)
Initial RCI Network Setup	Performs initial RCI network setup. The time required to complete initial RCI network setup depends on the number of cabinets connected to the network.	*1 (Customer engineer)
Setting the External Equipment Wait Time	When the external power control device is connected to the RCI network, sets the wait time required to prepare the external power control device.	Y (System administrator)
RCI Device Replacement	Performs hot swapping of an RCI device. Note that multiple devices cannot be swapped at one time. Note also that the RCI address may not be taken over if there is an INACT device other than the device to be swapped.	*1 (Customer engineer)
