== Remote PDUs == [[File:masterswitch-interface.gif|300px|border|right]]Remote PDUs are very useful for several reasons. You can use them to remotely: * reboot non-responsive hosts, even without iLO or similar * power off one or more nodes in your lab when not in use, and remotely turn it back on again as required This is useful functionality, even if you do have reasonably easy physical access to your lab as (for example) you can use it to remotely boot your lab whilst in the office or away from your homelab location Bear in mind though, that most remote PDUs are typically rack mountable, so you either need to be able to stack them somewhere, or have at least a small [[rack]]. Examples of tested homelab remote PDUs are as follows: * [ftp://ftp.apc.com/apc/public/hardware/mswitch/firmware/ms/v220/usrguide.pdf APC AP 9212 Masterswitch PDU] ** Costs around Β£100-Β£150 ($150-$225) used on ebay and can power up to 8 devices ** Controlled through a very simple web interface, though secured by http only, so be careful with password choices
