Power Management Software
Power management software ensures maximum power reliability of computer systems
through comprehensive control of UPSs. Specifically, power management software:
IMPORTANT: Not all UPSs are equipped to support the entire feature set listed below.
•
Manages 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 any UPS 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 pop-up dialog boxes, command execution,
and email and broadcast messages.
Overview
•
Monitors the status of the UPS and performs UPS diagnostics.
•
Displays power log for analysis.
For more information, refer to the power management CD provided with the UPS. For the
most current information, refer to

Overview
Extended Runtime Modules
The UPS supports up to two ERMs (extended runtime modules). Each ERM consists of two
battery packs in a 4U chassis. When operating at the recommended 80 percent load, one ERM
will extend the available UPS runtime by up to 15 minutes.
For more information, refer to the HP website at
Power Distribution Units
The UPS supports up to two PDUs. A PDU offers power surge protection and allows you to
distribute power among units.
Remote Emergency Power Off Port
The UPS includes an isolated REPO port. When properly wired, the REPO feature allows the
power at the UPS output receptacles to be switched off 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 to its loads. The REPO
switch is used in conjunction with a main disconnect device that removes the AC source from
the input of the UPS. To power 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.
• If the remote switch is closed, the REPO feature immediately powers down protected devices and
does not utilize the orderly shutdown procedure initiated by power management software.
www.hp.com.
• 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 and the UPS has been manually powered up.
• To restore power to the load after the REPO feature is activated, press the On button after the AC
source is reconnected to the UPS.
• Pressing and holding the On button without utility present would normally initiate a battery start and
the UPS would assume the load. However, if the On button is pressed and a REPO is detected,
battery start is inhibited and the UPS will not be able to assume the load. The electronic module
fans will spin and the Alarm LED and an audible alarm will be active as long as the On button is
held.

Warranties
To back up the wide range of features offered with the UPS, a three-year limited warranty is
provided.

•
A qualified electrician properly wires the UPS to utility power.
The UPS installation complies with all applicable electrical and safety codes specified by
•
the National Electrical Code (NEC).
•
The UPS is used under normal operating conditions. Users must comply with all
instructions and labels.
Overview
•
The UPS is not damaged by accident (other than a utility power transient), misuse, or
abuse.
Pre-Failure Battery Warranty

Turning on the Main Circuit Breaker
After a qualified electrician has properly wired the UPS to utility power and has installed all
electronics modules, turn on the AC mains at the service panel. All LEDs come on for three
seconds as part of the system initialization. Each electronics module turns on in sequence
(with approximately 10 seconds between modules), synching up with the utility power. The
Utility LED rapidly flashes green during Startup mode.
After all electronics modules have synchronized, the UPS enters Standby mode, indicated by
the Utility LED slowly flashing green. The system will begin charging the batteries, but will
not assume the load. The system will remain in Standby mode until the UPS On command is
received.
NOTE: The time required to transition from Startup mode to Standby mode can range from 45 seconds
to several minutes, depending on the state of charge of the batteries.
Charging the Batteries
When the UPS is in Standby mode, allow the batteries to charge before putting the UPS into
service. The battery status can be monitored using the LCD display. Refer to the section,
“Displaying the Battery Charge Data,” in Chapter 3 for information on how to view current
battery charge on the LCD display.
IMPORTANT: The battery modules will charge to:
• 80 percent of their capacity within 3 hours.
Operation
• 100 percent of their capacity within 48 hours.
Charge the batteries for at least 24 hours before supplying backup power to your devices.
