■

Power protection for loads up to 3000VA

■

Load segment control

■

Support for power management software

■

Support for Compaq hardware option cards, extending the power management capabilities of the UPS

■

Overview

1-9

Communications Port

The 3000 Series UPS includes a communications port for data exchange with the host computer. The power management software supplied by Compaq enables the user to access 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 installations:

■

Compaq Power Management Software is a comprehensive Microsoft Windows-based power management application that is tightly integrated 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, the power being supplied to an entire network of servers and workstations.

Software capabilities include:

■

Monitoring utility power, and the power supplied by the UPS.

■

Logging events, such as utility power blackouts and brownouts.

■

Prioritizing protected devices.

■

Powering up and powering down protected devices.

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.

1-10

Compaq 3000 Series UPS Operation and Reference Guide

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 saving the necessary information, completing the orderly device shutdown.

For more information on using Compaq Power Management Software, refer to the Compaq Power Products Software Reference Guide section of the Power Products Documentation CD (included with the UPS kit).

Hardware Option Cards

The 3000 Series UPS include an option slot that will accommodate one of these hardware option cards:

■

Compaq Multi-Server UPS Card (option kit part number 123508-B21)

■

Compaq Scalable UPS Card (option kit part number 123509-B21)

■

Compaq SNMP-EN Internal Adapter (option kit part number 347225-B21)

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 with 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, with Compaq Power Management Software, allows scaling up the level of power protection available to the system.

Overview

1-11

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 independently controlled 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.

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 management 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 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 Series 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 supplied). When this switch is closed, the UPS immediately disconnects power from its load segments.

1-12

Compaq 3000 Series UPS Operation and Reference Guide

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 offered 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:

■

Overview

1-13

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 may 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

Compaq 3000 Series UPS Operation and Reference Guide

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 devices, verify that the UPS will not overload by making sure that the total VA rating of the devices (the load) does not exceed the VA rating of the UPS.

Volts x Amps = VA per device

If the devices list the power in Watts, use the following conversion equation:

Watts x 1.35 = VA VA/1000 = KVA

You may use RackBuilder Pro as an alternate conversion tool. RackBuilder Pro may also be obtained from the Compaq website:

http://www.compaq.com

After verifying that the UPS will not overload, connect the power cords from the devices to the appropriate output receptacles of the UPS.

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of electric shock, the combined earth conductor

leakage current from all connected devices must not exceed 3.5 mA.

CAUTION:

Do not plug laser printers into the UPS. The instantaneous current

drawn by this type of printer may overload the UPS.

IMPORTANT:

To provide additional receptacles, plug a Compaq Power Distribution Unit (PDU) into the high current receptacle associated with load segments 1, 2, or 3. To connect the devices to the PDU, use IEC-320 jumper cords (part number 295633-B21).

Installation

To match the utility voltage, the UPS operating range can be modified in two ways:

■

If the utility voltage differs from the currently configured nominal voltage, but stays within a ±20% band (see Fig 4-5), consider shifting the nominal voltage parameter selection to match the measured utility voltage range.

■

If the utility voltage frequently varies outside the UPS operating range (see Fig 4-6), consider changing from normal to extended range (+20% to –35%). This provides more tolerance to brief utility voltage fluctuations.

To update the nominal voltage and operating range parameters:

Have a qualified electrician monitor utility voltage.

Depending on usage and environmental conditions, the batteries should last three

to six years.

For information on initiating a self-test, see Chapter 3, “Operation.”

5-4

Compaq 3000 Series Operation and Reference Guide

Pre-Failure Battery 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

Obtaining New Batteries

Compaq supplies spare battery packs for 3000 Series UPS models. Obtain spare batteries for the UPS when the Battery Service indicator (LED 10) illuminates, meaning that new batteries may be required within 30 to 60 days.

The 3000 Series UPS spare battery kit is part number 295462-001.

IMPORTANT:

Compaq recommends that an inventory of spare batteries not be maintained onsite unless a procedure to keep these batteries charged while in storage is implemented.

For information on the Battery Service LED function, see Chapter 3, “Operation.”

Replacing Batteries

There are two options for replacing UPS batteries:

■

Powering off the UPS before removing the batteries

■

In certain circumstances, hot-swapping the batteries without powering off the UPS

CAUTION:

While hot-swapping batteries, there is no protection in the event of a

utility power failure.

Battery Maintenance

Step 1: Preparing the UPS

To replace batteries with the UPS Off

Shut down all load devices.

Press the STANDBY button to take the UPS out of Operate mode. The ON LED extinguishes, and power to the load receptacles ceases.

Disconnect the UPS from utility power.

Wait at least 60 seconds, while the UPS internal circuitry discharges.

To replace batteries with the UPS in Operate mode (hot-swapping)

Batteries may be replaced (hot-swapped) without powering off the UPS if both of the following conditions are met:

■

The UPS is not charging the batteries (Battery Charge LEDs 6, 7, and 8 are all green, indicating that the batteries are fully charged).

NOTE:

Older batteries may be fully charged but still incapable of providing adequate backup for devices. Therefore, the battery charge LEDs can indicate the batteries are fully charged, while the UPS diagnostics have determined that the batteries need to be replaced.

■

The UPS is not supplying battery power to devices (AC Input LEDs 1 and 4 are green, indicating that the UPS is supplying utility power).

Step 2: Removing the Battery Pack

Follow this procedure to remove the battery pack:

1. To obtain access to the battery pack, remove the four screws holding the faceplate; detach the faceplate sufficiently to disconnect the LED display cable.

Regulatory Compliance Notices

Federal Communications Commission Notice

Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and Regulations has established Radio Frequency (RF) emission limits to provide an interference-free radio frequency spectrum. Many electronic devices, including computers, generate RF energy incidental to their intended function and are, therefore, covered by these rules. These rules place computers and related peripheral devices into two classes, A and B, depending upon their intended installation. Class A devices are those that may reasonably be expected to be installed in a business or commercial environment. Class B devices are those that may reasonably be expected to be installed in a residential environment (that is, personal computers). The FCC requires devices in both classes to bear a label indicating the interference potential of the device as well as additional operating instructions for the user.

The rating label on the device shows which class (A or B) the equipment falls into. Class B devices have an FCC logo or FCC ID on the label. Class A devices do not have an FCC logo or FCC ID on the label. Once the class of the device is determined, refer to the following corresponding statement.
