Backup and Restore
1–36 iSTAR eX Installation and Configuration Guide
iSTAR eX Power Fail Detection and Backup Logic
The AC Fail and Low battery functions are performed the same way for both
the Standard Power Supply/Battery Model and the NPS Model. The standard
version also utilizes the Backup Now function to backup data to the Compact
Flash unit when the battery is almost depleted.
AC Fail
When the PMB reports AC fail to iSTAR eX, the AC fail input changes state.
The state change is reported to the host and any configured event/output
control is executed.
The LCD backlight is turned off as long as AC fail is on.
Low Battery
When the PMB reports low battery to iSTAR eX, the input changes state. The
state change is reported to the host and any configured event/output control
will be executed.
Backup Now (Standard Version only)
When the Power Management Board reports backup now, iSTAR eX initiates
the backup-reboot-restore process. Once started, this process will complete,
even if AC fail, low battery, or backup now inputs deactivate.
NOTE
UL has not evaluated wiring Battery Low to Backup Now and the use of
the Backup Now feature.
