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.

$25,000 Computer Load Protection Guarantee

In addition to the limited warranty, a $25,000 Computer Load Protection Guarantee (provided by the original equipment manufacturer) is offered.
IMPORTANT: The $25,000 Computer Load Protection Guarantee is offered only in North America.
The $25,000 Computer Load Protection Guarantee applies only if:
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

Refer to the section, “Pre-Failure Battery Warranty,” in Chapter 4 for specific information on the 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.
