available to other devices.
■ After saving the necessary information, completing the orderly device
shutdown.
For more information on using Compaq Power Management Software, refer to
the Compaq Power Products Software Reference Guide section of the Power
Products Documentation CD (included with the UPS kit).
Hardware Option Cards
The 1000 Series UPS models include an option slot that will accommodate one
of these hardware option cards:
■ Compaq Multi-Server UPS Card (option kit part number 123508-B21)
■ Compaq Scalable UPS Card (option kit part number 123509-B21)
■ Compaq SNMP-EN Internal Adapter (option kit part number
347225-B21)
Compaq Multi-Server UPS Card
A standard UPS can communicate directly with a single host computer. A
1000 Series UPS with the Multi-Server UPS Card installed has expanded
communication capability, and can exchange data with up to three host
computers.
Compaq Power Management Software enables a single UPS with a
Multi-Server UPS Card to protect up to three servers. By connecting servers to
separate load segments, the UPS can provide individual server control.
For example, if a network includes two servers (with one running Windows
NT, and the other running Unix), a 1000 Series UPS with a Multi-Server UPS
Card can establish direct communications with each server. Allocate a separate
UPS load segment to supply power to each server and to the devices
associated with that server.
