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

(

).

You can also use a third-party SNMP manager to monitor the power protection. For more information, see
"SNMP monitoring (on page

)."
