Multi-Server UPS Card
Without a Multi-Server UPS Card, the UPS can communicate with two host computers. The
Multi-Server UPS Card enables one UPS to communicate with up to four host computers by
using all three ports on the option card and the open port on the UPS.
NOTE: Port 1 connects the card to the UPS through the pigtail cable on the card.
Figure 1-4: Multi-Server UPS Card
Power management software enables a single UPS with one Multi-Server UPS Card to
protect up to four servers. If two Multi-Server UPS Cards are installed, five servers can be
separately protected by connecting the servers to different UPS R6000 load segments.
If a network includes five servers running three different operating systems, two Multi-Server
Cards communicate directly between the UPS and all five servers. Each server and its
associated devices can be powered from a different UPS load segment.
