1-8 Compaq 3000 Series UPS Operation and Reference Guide
Compaq Power Management Software
Compaq Power Management Software allows system administrators to
monitor, and to manage, t he power bei ng supplied to an entire network of
servers and wor kstations.
Software capabilities include:
■ Monitoring utility power, and the power supplied by the UPS.
■ Logging events, such as utility power blackouts and brown outs.
■ Prioritizing protected devices.
■ Powering up and pow er i ng d own pr o te cte d de vic es .
For example, if Compaq Power Management Software detects an extended
utility power blackout, it will initiate the prioritized shutdown sequence
specified by the system administrator.
This sequence might include:
■ Saving work-in-progress throughout the network.
■ Powering down non-critical devices, to extend the battery power
available to other devices.
■ After savi ng the necessary informatio n, completin g t he orderly de vice
shutdown.
For more information on using Compaq Power Management Software, refer to
the Compaq Power Products Software Reference Guide section of the Power
Products Doc umentation CD (included with the UPS kit).
Hardware Option Cards
The 3000 Series UPS include an option slot that will accommodate one of
these hardware opt io n ca rd s:
■ Compaq Multi -Server UPS Card (option kit part number 1235 08-B21)
■ Compaq Scalable UPS Card (option kit part number 123509-B21)
■ Compaq SNMP- EN Internal Adapter (opti on kit part number
347225-B21)
Overview 1-9
Compaq Multi-Server UPS Card
A standard UPS can communicate directly with a single host computer. The
Multi-Server UPS Card expands the communications capability of the UPS so
that a single UPS that can exchange data with up to three host computers.
Compaq Power Management Software enables a single UPS wit h a
Multi-Server UPS Card to protect up to three servers. Individual server control
can be obtained by connecting the servers to different UPS load segments.
For example, if a network includes three servers (with one running Windows
NT, one running Unix, and one running NetWare), a Multi-Server Card can be
used to establish direct communications between the UPS and all three servers.
Use a single UPS load segment to supply power to a particular server and to
the devices associated with that server.
Compaq Scalable UPS Card
The Scalable UPS Card makes up to three UPS units appear as a single virtual
UPS to the host computer and, wi th Compaq Power Management Software,
allows scaling up the level of power protection available to the system.
For example, connecting three R3000 UPS units to a Scalable UPS Card
creates a virtual 9000VA UPS. Since the R3000 UPS each have three load
segments, the virtual UPS will have nine independe ntl y contro lled load
segments.
However, no single load can be greater than the lowest rated UPS. For
instance, connecting three 1KVA UPSs with a Scalable UPS Card could not
support a single 1200VA load.
1-10 Compaq 3000 Series UPS Operation and Reference Guide
Compaq SNMP-EN Internal Adapter
In a network environment, the SNMP-EN Internal Adapter provides a user
interface, allowing communication between the UPS and the server (when the
SNMP-based power management software, Compaq OnliNet Centro, is
installed). For workstations or other peripheral equipment that cannot be
interrupted by a network ma nagement system, a UPS with t he SNMP-EN
Internal Adapter option installed can also provide a power management
solution.
Using the SNMP-EN Internal Adapter SNMP communication interface,
system administrators can quickly ascertain if power-related problems exist
anywhere on the network. A Compaq UPS, connected by an SNMP-EN
Internal Adapter to power management software, can virtually eliminate costly
downtime due to power outages or surges, and decrease day-to-day network
management annoyances like spontaneous rebooting, lost files and corrupted
data—issues resulting from inconsistent power.
Compaq OnliNet Centro software is a versatile application that can schedule
network component shutdowns or, in case of a utility power outage, perform
graceful, sequential shutdown of network components.
Remote Emergency Power Off (REPO) Port
The 3000 Serie s UPS models include a Remote Emergency Power Off
(REPO) port. The REPO feature allows the UPS to be shut down from a
remote location. To use this feature, the REPO port must be connected to a
remote, normally open switch (not suppl i ed). When this switch is closed, the
UPS immediately disconnects power from its load segments.
To shut down the entire network in the event of an emergency, the REPO ports
of multiple UPS units can be connected to a single switch.
IMPORTANT: The REPO port meets the requirements of NFPA Articles 645-10 and
645-11 for a Disconnecting Means.
IMPORTANT:
■ If the remote switch is closed, the REPO feature shuts down protected devices
immediately and does not utilize the orderly shutdown procedure initiated by
Compaq Power Management Software.
■ The REPO feature shuts down UPS units operating under either utility or
battery power.
■ If the UPS was operating on battery power when the remote switch was closed, no
power will be available to the devices until utility power is restored.
Warranties
$25,000 Computer Load Protection Guarantee
To back up the wide range of features offe red with the UPS, Compaq provides
a three-year limited warranty. In addition, Compaq offers a $25,000 Computer
Load Protection Guarantee (provided by the original equipment manufacturer).
IMPORTANT: The warranty card supplied with the UPS must be filled in and returned to
qualify for the $25,000 Computer Load Protection Guarantee.
The $25,000 Computer Load Protection Guarantee only applies if:

■ The UPS is used under normal operating conditions. Users comply with
all instructions and labels.
Overview 1-11
■ The UPS is not damaged by accident (other than a utility power
transient), misuse, or abuse.
Pre-Failure Battery Warranty
The Pre-Failure Battery Warranty, standard on all Compaq Uninterruptible
Power System (UPS) units, extends the advantage of a Compaq three-year
limited warranty by applying it to the battery before it actually fails.
Specifically, the Pre-Failure Battery Warranty ensures that when customers
receive notification from Compaq Power Management Software that the
battery ma y fail, the battery is replaced free of charge under the warranty.
Compaq maintains the highest standards in the industry, as evidenced by the
Compaq Pre-Failure Battery Warranty. The Pre-Failure Battery Warranty is
beneficial in at least two significant ways:
■ Reduced total cost of ownership
■ Reduced downtime
