Communications Port
The 2000 Series UPS models include a communications port that allows the
UPS to exchange data with the host computer. Po wer management software
(supplied by Compaq) gives users access to status reporting and power
management features.
CAUTION: Use only cables supplied by Compaq to connect the communications
port to the host computer. Use of standard RS-232 cables may cause equipment
damage.
Power Management Software
With each UPS, Compaq supplies a CD containing several power management
software applications, to address a variety of installati ons:
■ Compaq Power Management Software is a comprehensive Microsoft
Windows-based power management application that is tightly inte grated
with Compaq Insight Manager.
■ LanSafe III provides UPS power management capabilities in a network
environment.
■ FailSafe III provides UPS power management capabilities in a
standalone computer environment.
■ Compaq OnliNet Centro provides UPS power management capabilities
in a multi-platform network environment (supplied only with the
Compaq SNMP-EN Internal Adapter).
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 information, 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 2000 Series UPS models include an option slot that will accommodate one
of these hardware option cards:
■ Compaq Multi-Server UPS Card (option kit pa rt number 123508-B21)
■ Compaq Scala ble UPS Card (opt ion kit part number 123509- B21)
■ Compaq SNMP-EN Internal Adapter (option kit part number
347225-B21)
Overview 1-7
Compaq Multi-Server UPS Card
A standard UPS can communicate directly with a single host computer. A
Compaq 2000 Series UPS with the Multi-Server UPS Card installed has
expanded communication capability, and can exchange data with up to three
host computers.
Compaq Power Management Software enable s a single UPS, with a
Multi-Server UPS Card, to protect up to three servers. By connecting servers
to separate load segments, the UPS can provide individual server control.
For example, if a network includes three servers (with one running Windows
NT, one running Unix, and one running NetWare), a Multi-Server UPS Card
can be used to establish dir ect communications betwee n the UPS and all t hree
servers. Allocate a separate UPS load segment to supply power to a particular
server and to the devices associated with that server.
1-8 Compaq 2000 Series UPS Operation and Reference Guide
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 T2000 UPS units to a Scalable UPS Card
creates a virtual 6000VA UPS. Since the T2000 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 UPS units with a Scalable UPS Card could
not support a single 1200VA load.
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 the 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 pr oblems 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.
Network Transient Protector
The 2000 Series UPS models include a Network Transient Protector that
provides protection for communications equipment (such as network devices,
a fax machine, or a modem) from surges.
CAUTION: To avoid damaging the equipment, do not connect the Network
Transient Protector to a digital PBX line. Connect either to an analog phone line
or to a network.
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:

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 cha rge 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

of Owner's Manual enclosed inside
Figure 2-4. The Battery Recharge Date label
Connecting the UPS to Utility Power
Connect the UPS to a grounded utility power outlet.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment,
take these precautions:
■ Plug the input line cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is
installed near the equipment and is easily accessible.
■ Do not disable the grounding plug on the input line cord. The grounding
plug is an important safety feature.
■ Do not use extension cords.
Connecting Devices to the UPS
Before connecting load equipment, verify that the UPS will not be overloaded
by the total VA rating of the devices. The load must not exceed the VA rating
of the UPS.
Volts x Amps = V A per device
If the devices list the power in Watts, use the following conversion equation:
Watts x 1.35 = VA
VA/1000 = KVA
Installation 2-7
After verifying that the UPS will not be overloaded by the cumulative VA
rating of all load equipment, connect the power cords from the devices to the
appropriate output receptacles on the U PS.
Powering up the UPS
When the unit is plugged in for the first time, the UPS automatically i nitiates a
self-test. The front panel LED display lights will go on and off during the
self-test. If the self-test is completed successfully, the UPS enters Standby
mode.
NOTE: The self-test initiates when the UPS is plugged in for the first time. Afterward,
when the UPS is disconnected from utility power, the unit will come back up in the mode
it was in when utility power was lost.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, the combined earth conductor
leakage current from all connected devices must not exceed 3.5 mA.
