HP Power Protector overview

HP Power Protector is a UPS software management application that can be used standalone without the UPS Network Module in an Administrator/Client configuration or with the UPS Network Module in a Client configuration only.

The HPPP Client runs on a local or network server and allows the UPS Network Module to gracefully shut down the operating system of that server and optionally run a script during power failure. Install the HPPP Client on any machine that is powered by the UPS and any machine that the UPS Network Module uses to initiate a shutdown command.

For more information, see the HP Power Protector User Guide on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/rackandpower).

You can also use a third-party SNMP manager to monitor the power protection. For more information, see "SNMP monitoring (on page 53)."

Supported hardware configurations

The UPS Network Module can be attached in any of the following configurations:

•Configuration A (on page 7)—One or more HPPP Clients are powered by a UPS and communicate with one UPS Network Module over the network.

Browser security alert

Secure browsing requires the use of SSL. SSL is a protocol layer that lies between HTTP and TCP that provides secure communication between a server and a client, and is designed to provide privacy and message integrity. SSL is commonly used in web-based transactions to authenticate the web server, which indisputably identifies the server to the browser. SSL also provides an encrypted channel of communication between the server and the browser. The encrypted channel ensures the integrity of the data between the web server and the browser, so that data can neither be viewed nor modified while in transit. The UPS Network Module uses a system generated and unique key.

An integral part of SSL is a security certificate, which identifies the UPS Network Module. If your browser displays a security alert when browsing to the UPS Network Module, it can be for one of several reasons:

•The certificate is untrusted, meaning it was signed by a certifying authority that is unknown to your browser.

•The certificate has expired or is not yet valid. This condition can occur if you issue your own certificate and it has expired.

•The name on the certificate does not match the name of the site in the browser address field.

For more information about security considerations, see "Security considerations overview (on page 67)."
