Low Battery—Selected Low Battery—Deselected
Shutdown Settings
Conserve Battery Power The management module initiates
system shutdowns after the specified
delay when the UPS begins to
operate on battery power, unless
the UPS issues a low battery alarm
before the shutdowns are initiated.
If a low battery alarm occurs during
the delay countdown, the
management module ignores the
On Battery settings and observes
the Low Battery shutdown delay
setting. The management module initiates
system shutdowns after the specified
delay when the UPS begins to
operate on battery power. If a low
battery alarm occurs during the delay
countdown, the management module
ignores the low battery alarm and
continues to observe the On Battery
shutdown delay setting.¹
Shutdown Settings
Maximize Runtime The management module initiates
system shutdowns when the UPS
runtime reaches zero, unless the
UPS issues a low battery alarm
before the shutdowns are initiated.
If a low battery alarm occurs during
the runtime countdown, the
management module ignores the
runtime remaining and observes the
Low Battery shutdown delay setting. The management module initiates
system shutdowns when the UPS
runtime reaches zero. If a low battery
alarm occurs during the runtime
countdown, the management module
ignores the low battery alarm and
continues to observe the runtime
countdown.¹
Shutdown Settings
Do Not Shutdown The management module initiates
system shutdowns when the UPS
issues a low battery alarm. The
management module observes the
Low Battery shutdown delay setting. The management module does not
initiate any type of system shutdown.
Power is maintained until the battery
is depleted.²
¹ Selecting this option might result in an ungraceful shutdown. The amount of remaining runtime cannot be accurately
predicted after a low battery warning is issued.
² Running batteries to depletion can cause an ungraceful shutdown if a second power failure occurs before the
batteries have fully charged.
4. Enter the amount of time to wait before restarting the attached device in the Restart Settings column.
This option allows utility power to stabilize and disks in shared storage configurations to spin up
before the server restarts.
