Power Management Software
Power management software ensures maximum power reliability of HP computer systems
through comprehensive control of HP UPSs. Specifically, power management software
performs the following:
IMPORTANT: Not all UPSs are equipped to support the entire feature set listed.
• Manages a graceful shutdown of attached equipment during utility power failures
• Manages independent UPS load segments to provide separate power control of connected
equipment
• Prioritizes the timing of equipment shutdowns, and reboots connected equipment by load
segment
• Shuts down and reboots HP UPSs and attached equipment based on a user-specified
schedule
• Delays restart by load segment after a power outage to sequence the startup of system
components
• Customizes alert generation with modifiable popup dialog boxes, command execution,
and email and broadcast messages
Overview
• Monitors the status of the UPS and performs UPS diagnostics
• Displays power logs for analysis
