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 2000 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
Compaq 2000 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 three servers (with one running Windows
NT, one running Unix, and one running NetWare), a Multi-Server UPS Card
can be used to establish direct communications between the UPS and all three
servers. Allocate a separate UPS load segment to supply power to a particular
server and to the devices associated with that server.
