Cd Contents - Compaq 204451-002 - UPS T2200 XR Reference Manual

Compaq Power Management software constantly observes the power
environment of each Compaq UPS. Should a utility power failure or other
significant power problem occur, the Compaq UPS places the connected
systems on battery power and CPM software issues an alert to the system
administrator's personal computer (PC) using SNMP. As the power event
continues, CPM software begins a prioritized system shutdown (based on user
settings or default settings), saving work-in-progress throughout the network,
and preserving files that have not yet been saved to a permanent storage
medium. Compaq Power Management software responds to the alert as
programmed by the user.
Working in conjunction with CPM software, the Compaq UPS can be
configured to extend runtimes for critical devices. The receptacles on the rear
panel of the Compaq UPS are divided into two or more groups, called load
segments. (Tower 700 Series UPS models have only one load segment.) Each
load segment can be controlled independently. By shutting down one load
segment, connected to less critical equipment, the runtime for more critical
equipment is extended, thereby providing additional protection.
CPM software also facilitates a prioritized startup for connected equipment. In
addition, the power-scheduling feature allows for scheduled on and off times,
which promotes energy and power conservation.
By communicating with your UPS, the Compaq Power Management software
Agent monitors the status of input utility power, output load, and the condition
of the hardware. If external power is lost (or insufficient to support the UPS
battery charge for an extended time), the Agent begins an orderly shutdown of
your system based on pre-specified criteria. The Agent saves work-in-progress
and logs all significant power and battery events.
