The HP UPS Management Module enables you to monitor, manage, and control power environments of
up to five devices through the serial connectors located on the front of the management module. Multiple
devices can monitor the UPS over the network connection. The management module can be configured to
send alert traps to HP Systems Insight Manager and other SNMP management programs or used as a
stand-alone management system.
For configuration and status monitoring, the management module includes:
• HP UPS Management Module web interface (on page 41)—A graphical interface that is accessed
with a web browser
• HP UPS Management Module Service Menu (on page 78)—A text-based menu that is accessed
through telnet or a terminal emulation session
For a detailed list of supported UPSs, see the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/rackandpower
Features
• Monitors the status of the UPS and performs diagnostics
• Manages a graceful shutdown of attached equipment during a utility power failure
• Manages independent UPS load segments to provide separate power control of connected
equipment
• Prioritizes the timing of equipment shutdown and reboots connected equipment by load segment
• Delays restart by load segment after a power outage to sequence the startup of system components
• Shuts down and reboots the UPS and attached equipment, based on a user-specified schedule
• Sends customized email and broadcast notification messages and SNMP traps
• Issues computer commands at power failure
• Displays logs for analysis
• Supports a redundant UPS configuration
• Includes enhanced HP SIM integration
• Includes multi-language support
).
• Supports serial- and network-attached server communications
• Supports a customizable Events script
Overview 7
HP UPS Power Protection Agent overview
The HP UPS Power Protection Agent runs on a local or network server and allows the management
module to gracefully shut down the operating system of that server and optionally run a script during
power failure. Install the agent on any machine that is powered by the UPS and any machine that the
management module uses to initiate a command.
NOTE: If you are an existing HP Power Manager user, you must uninstall the HPPM Remote
If the UPS Power Protection Agent is not applicable for your load devices, you can use a third-party
SNMP manager to monitor the power protection. For more information, see "SNMP monitoring (on page
111)."

receiving power by verifying that the Power LED is illuminated solid green.
5. Secure the management module using the two screws you removed in step 2.
Installing the HP UPS Management Module 19
Checking the Error LED
If the Error LED illuminates red or flashes red, see the "Troubleshooting (on page 87)" section for more
information.
Connecting the network cable
Connect a standard Ethernet cable between the network connector on the management module and a
network jack.
This connection is used to access the management module remotely through telnet or the web interface.
The management module also uses the network connection to communicate to the configured agents and
to facilitate SNMP-based monitoring.
Installing the HP UPS Management Module 20
Connecting the configuration cable
1. Connect a DB-9 to RJ-45 adapter to a serial connector on the host computer.
2. Connect one end of an RJ-45 cable to the RJ-45 connector on the adapter.
3. Connect the other end of the RJ-45 cable to the Config/Pass-Thru connector on the management
module.
This connection is used to configure and access the management module locally through a terminal
emulation program.
Launching a terminal emulation program
NOTE: HyperTerminal is the serial communication program provided with Microsoft®
Windows® and is used in this section as an example for setting up a terminal emulation
session. If you are using another utility, the steps might be different.
2. Enter a description, select an icon for the connection, and then click OK. The Connect To window
appears.
3. Select the serial connector on the host computer to which the DB-9 to RJ-45 adapter is attached, and
then click OK. The COM Properties window appears.
4. Select the following parameter values, and then click OK.
o Bits per second—115200
o Data bits—8
o Parity—None
o Stop bits—1
o Flow control—None
Configuring the management module for remote
access
1. Be sure that you have connected the network cable ("Connecting the network cable" on page 20) to
the management module.
2. Be sure that you have connected the configuration cable ("Connecting the configuration cable" on
page 21) to the management module and the host computer with an open terminal emulation
session.
3. Press the Reset button on the management module front panel.
On the terminal emulation session screen running on the host computer, the POST executes, and the
following prompt appears:
Press any key in 5 seconds to enter Service menu.
4. Press a key to enter the HP UPS Management Module Service Menu.
Installing the HP UPS Management Module 22
Use the HP UPS Management Module Service Menu to configure the minimum settings required to
access the management module remotely using telnet or the web interface. You can configure other
settings using this utility in conjunction with a terminal emulation program or a telnet connection.
NOTE: If your network is configured with a BOOTP server, the network settings are
automatically assigned. Verify and note the assigned values.
5. If your network is not configured with a BOOTP server:
a. On the Main menu, enter 1 at the prompt to open Module Configuration submenu.
b. Enter 2 at the prompt to enter the Network Configuration submenu.
c. Enter 1 at the prompt to enter the Network Settings submenu.
6. From this menu, change the mode used to acquire a network IP address to Static IP. You can also
change the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway of the HP UPS Management Module.
7. Configure web access:
a. On the Network Configuration submenu, enter 3 at the prompt to open the Web Access
submenu.
b. Use the submenu options to select HTTP (default) or HTTPS and configure the associated port. The
default port for HTTP is port 80, and the default port for HTTPS is port 443.
8. Configure telnet access:
a. On the Network Configuration submenu, enter 2 at the prompt to open the Remote Console
submenu.
b. Use the submenu options to configure the telnet port. The default port is port 23.
9. Enter 0 at the prompt until you have returned to the Main menu.
10. Enter s at the prompt to save the changes and restart the management module.
11. Enter 2 at the prompt to close the configuration utility.
Connecting devices
NOTE: The management module ships with one DB-9 to RJ-45 adapter for management
module configuration. Five additional adapters for connecting serial devices are available for

Installing the HP UPS Power Protection Agent
Installation overview
Install the UPS Power Protection Agent on any machine that is powered by the UPS and any machine that
the management module uses to initiate a command. There are three installation options:
• GUI installation—A series of dialog boxes and prompts guide you through the installation process.
• Non-GUI installation—A series of commands are necessary to complete the installation.
• Silent installation—A preconfigured initialization file is specified during installation. This file contains
all the information a user is typically prompted to enter.
Silent installation is typically used by system administrators who have many installations that are
configured identically and require minimal user interaction. During a silent installation you will:
o Install an agent through the assisted installation method that is appropriate for the operating
system.
o Configure the agent exactly as the final replicated systems should be configured.
o Use the DevManRA.ini file that is generated in the directory of the application as a template in
the agent silent install process.
o Change any items that should be unique, such as the Management Server IP address, through
the normal operation of the software.
The following table summarizes the available installation options for each operating system.
