1.6 Power Management for Power Synchronization
1.6Power Management for Power Synchronization
This section explains power management with a power synchronized unit.
The power synchronized unit detects the AC power output of the target devices for power synchronization and
commands the ETERNUS DX/AF to synchronize the power with the target devices.
When the power synchronized unit detects the AC power output of any server UPS unit, the power
synchronized unit commands the ETERNUS DX/AF to turn on.
When the power synchronized unit does not detect AC power output in any of the server UPS units, the power
synchronized unit commands the ETERNUS DX/AF to turn off.
The server UPS unit must have a function in the management software that controls the AC power output
according to when the server powers on and off. The server UPS unit must have one unused outlet to connect
to the power synchronized unit.
Connect the power cords of the ETERNUS DX/AF and the power synchronized unit to a UPS (UPS for the
ETERNUS DX/AF) that uses a power line that is not the same as the server UPS unit. This enables power to be
supplied or stopped according to the scheduled operations and the power failure settings of the server.
