Power Management Software
Compaq supplies three power management software packages with each UPS:
■ Compaq Power Management Software is a comprehensive Microsoft
Windows-based management application that is tightly integrated with
Compaq Insight Manager.
■ Compaq LanSafe III provides UPS power management capabilities in a
network environment.
■ Compaq FailSafe III provides UPS power management capabilities in a
localized computer environment.
Outside of the Compaq Power Management Software, Compaq OnliNet provides
NOTE:
support for the Compaq SNMP-EN Adapter.
Compaq Power Management Software
Compaq Power Management Software enables system administrators using
Compaq Insight Manager to monitor and manage the power being supplied to
an entire network of servers and workstations.
Introduction
1-7
The 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
■ Start-up and shutdown of protected devices
■ Controlling extended capabilities, through the use of Compaq Multi-
Server UPS Cards, Compaq Scalable UPS Cards, and the Compaq
SNMP-EN Adapter.
For example, if Compaq Power Management Software detects a protracted
utility power blackout projected to exceed battery-supplied power limits, the
application initiates a shutdown sequence specified by the system
administrator. This sequence might include:
■ Saving work-in-progress throughout the network
■ Powering off non-critical devices to extend available battery power
■ Completing an orderly device shutdown after saving critical data

UPS Option Cards
Two option slots are available to further expand the capabilities of the Compaq
R6000 UPS in both power control and server communication for networking
environments.
Option kits include the Compaq Multi-Server UPS Card, the Compaq Scalable
UPS Card and the Compaq SNMP-EN Adapter. These enhancements provide
communication with multiple systems, multiple UPS units, and network
management applications.
Option kits can be used in the following configurations:

Compaq Multi-Server UPS Card
Without a Compaq Multi-Server UPS Card, the UPS can communicate with
two host computers. The Compaq Multi-Server UPS Card enables one UPS to
communicate with up to four host computers by using all three ports on the
option card and the open port on the UPS. (Port 1 will connect the card to the
UPS through the pigtail cable on the card.)
Figure 1-5. The Multi-Server UPS Card
Compaq Power Management software enables a single UPS with one Compaq
Multi-Server UPS Card to protect up to four servers. If two Compaq MultiServer UPS Cards are installed, five servers can be separately protected by
plugging the servers into different Compaq R6000 UPS load segments.
Even if a network includes five servers running three different operating
systemsthree running Windows NT, one running UNIX, and one running
NetWaretwo Compaq Multi-Server Cards will directly communicate
between the UPS and all five servers. Each server and its associated devices
can be powered from a different UPS load segment.
Introduction
Compaq Scalable UPS Card
The Compaq Scalable UPS card enables up to three UPS units to appear as a
single virtual UPS to the host computer. Compaq Power Management
Software gives users the capability to scale up the level of power protection
available to the system.
For example, connecting three Compaq R6000 UPS units to one Scalable UPS
card creates a virtual 18 kVA UPS. The virtual UPS would have nine
independently-controlled load segments.

Compaq R6000 Series UPS Operation and Reference Guide
Compaq SNMP-EN Adapter
The Compaq SNMP-EtherNet Adapter is a user interface to the UPS in a
network where SNMP-based network management software is installed
(Compaq OnliNet). Using the SNMP-EN Adapter’s communication interface,
system administrators can virtually eliminate costly downtime due to power
outages and/or surges. This will decrease day-to-day network management
annoyances like spontaneous rebooting, lost files and corrupted dataissues
resulting from inconsistent power. The Compaq SNMP-EN Adapter provides
the means to quickly ascertain if a power-related problem exists anywhere on
the network.
The Compaq SNMP-EN Adapter lets you monitor the network without having
to run power management software on a server. Other network
componentslike hubs and routerscan be monitored, even when Compaq
Power Management Software is not in use.
The Compaq SNMP-EN Adapter Kit includes Compaq OnliNet software and
documentation, as well as information on installing and configuring the
Compaq SNMP-EN Adapter using MIB and Power MIB.
Figure 1-7. The SNMP-EN Adapter
Extended Runtime Modules (ERMs)
The Compaq R6000 UPS also supports Extended Runtime Modules. The UPS
rear panel includes a power receptacle where the modules attach. Each ERM
consists of dual battery packs in a 3U chassis.
At the recommended 80% load, one ERM will extend the available UPS
runtime up to 18 minutes. Two ERMs can be serially connected to each UPS,
increasing the total available runtime to up to 30 minutes.
These figures were derived using the Compaq recommended 80% load.

Power Distribution Units (PDUs)
You can extend the capabilities of the Compaq R6000 UPS by attaching a
Compaq Power Distribution Unit (PDU) to the high current receptacle
associated with load segments 1, 2, or 3. This provides 12 additional
receptacles to load segments 1, 2 or 3.
The Compaq High to Low Voltage Transformer (250VA), another Compaq
Power Distribution Unit, may be connected to the Compaq R6000 UPS to
supply two low-voltage outlets at 250 VA. See the documentation included
with each unit for Installation and Operation instructions.
You can connect your devices to the PDU using IEC-320 jumper cords
(Part No. 295633-B21). To order more IEC cords, see the section in this
chapter entitled, “Configuring Load Segments.”

Compaq R6000 Series UPS Operation and Reference Guide
Remote Emergency Power Off (REPO) Port
The Compaq R6000 UPS Series models include a Remote Emergency Power
Off (REPO) port, as required by the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70). The
REPO port provides a terminus to attach controls that shut the UPS outputs
down from a remote location. The REPO ports of multiple UPS units may be
connected to a single switch or circuit to shut down the entire system in an
emergency.
IMPORTANT:
■ The REPO feature shuts down protected devices immediately and does not follow
the orderly shutdown procedure initiated by Compaq Power Management Software.
■ The REPO feature will shut down devices that are operating on battery power.
When the REPO switch is re-opened, the UPS will not switch to battery power
until manually re-started.
Warranty
$25,000 Computer Load Protection Guarantee
To back up the wide range of features offered with our 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:
qualify for the $25,000 Computer Load Protection Guarantee.
You must fill in and return the warranty card supplied with your UPS to
The $25,000 Computer Load Protection Guarantee only applies in the
following circumstances:
■ The Compaq R6000 UPS was properly connected to utility power by a
qualified electrician and remained properly connected during operation.
For proper Compaq R6000 UPS wiring directions, see “Connecting the
Compaq R6000 UPS to AC Branch Circuit,” in Chapter 2 of this guide.
■ The Compaq R6000 UPS installation complies with all applicable
electrical and safety codes specified by the National Electrical Code
(NEC)Refer to Chapter 2 in this guide for applicable codes.
■ The UPS is used under normal operating conditions. Users comply with
all instructions and labels.
■ 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 Supplies (UPS), 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 Compaq Power Management
software notifies customers 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 waysreduced total cost of ownership
and reduced downtime.
