Examples described herein relate to circuit breaker reset for power distribution units (PDUs). In one example, an apparatus to reset a circuit breaker of a PDU includes a bracket to enclose a portion of a rack rail, where one end of the bracket is coupled to a surface of the PDU including the circuit breaker. The apparatus also includes an elongated member disposed within the bracket, the elongated member includes a distal end to make contact with the circuit breaker, when force is applied to a proximal end of the elongated member, to reset the circuit breaker.

Circuit breaker reset for power distribution units

A method for automating configuration of devices in a network having a network bus for communicating with the devices, wherein the network is implemented in a physical environment the method comprising detecting a device assembly that is connected to the network bus, wherein the device assembly includes a plurality of devices assembled thereon in a predetermined physical order; upon detecting a device assembly connected to the network bus, determining whether the detected device assembly is of a predetermined first type; upon determining that the detected device assembly is of the first type, reading data from the plurality of devices assembled thereon in an order corresponding to the predetermined physical order of the plurality of devices as assembled on the device assembly; and identifying a physical location in the physical environment of each of the plurality of devices on the first-type device assembly based on the order in which data of the plurality of devices is read from the first-type device assembly.
