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.
•
Configuration B (on page 8)—One or more HPPP Clients are redundantly powered by two UPSs and
communicate with two UPS Network Modules over the network.

Configuration A

This figure illustrates one or more HPPP Clients are powered by a UPS and communicates with one UPS
Network Module over the network to begin a graceful shutdown in the event of a power failure or other
configured shutdown events.
