Vertiv Geist rPDU Switched Unit-Level Monitoring 8.6kW 208V 36-Outlet

The Vertiv Geist rPDU Switched Unit-Level Monitoring 8.6kW 208V 36-Outlet (VP4G30A2) is a 0U vertically mounted intelligent rack power distribution unit engineered for high-density data center and colocation environments. The unit delivers switched outlet-level control across all 36 receptacles, enabling remote individual outlet power cycling, sequenced startup, and load shedding without requiring physical access to the rack. Built-in unit-level current and power monitoring provides continuous visibility into aggregate consumption, supporting capacity planning and power utilization efficiency reporting.

A defining feature of the VP4G30A2 is its hot-swap intelligent network card (iGX) architecture, allowing the embedded network management module to be replaced while the PDU remains energized and actively powering connected loads. This zero-downtime serviceability model is particularly valuable in colocation facilities operating under strict SLA commitments where rack power interruption is not permissible during maintenance windows. The unit is rated for elevated operating temperatures, extending its operational envelope to suit thermally demanding environments such as AI-dense GPU server deployments where ambient rack temperatures routinely exceed standard thresholds.

The PDU communicates over a dedicated Ethernet management interface and supports SNMP v1/v2c/v3, Modbus TCP, and Vertiv's Environet Alert monitoring platform, enabling seamless integration into existing DCIM and BMS ecosystems. With an 8.6kW power capacity at 208V fed through a NEMA L6-30P input and a combination of NEMA 5-20R and C13/C19 outlet configurations, the VP4G30A2 addresses mixed server, storage, and networking loads within a single rack column.

Ideal for

• AI and GPU server rack deployments in colocation facilities requiring high-density 208V power distribution with remote outlet-level cycling for accelerator node management
• Enterprise data centers implementing granular power monitoring and switched control to enforce per-rack power caps and support chargeback reporting by tenant or business unit
• High-availability environments where hot-swap network card replacement enables PDU firmware and management module servicing without interrupting downstream server uptime
• Colocation operators managing multi-tenant racks who require individual outlet switching to isolate or reboot customer equipment remotely without dispatching technicians
• Edge and hyperscale deployments in thermally elevated enclosures where the PDU's high-temperature rating ensures reliable operation beyond standard ambient conditions
• DCIM-integrated infrastructure stacks leveraging SNMP v3 and Modbus TCP feeds from the PDU to populate real-time power dashboards and trigger automated load-balancing workflows
