Shutdown Controller

The Dell ULNM can acquire UPS alarms from a UPS (through USB or RS-232) and forward the

shutdown alarms to the other Dell ULNMs. This specific Dell ULNM is called the “Shutdown

Controller.” The Shutdown Controller can acquire information through a Dell Network Management

Card.
You must activate the Shutdown Controller feature on the Dell ULNM that relays the alarms (connected

to the UPS through USB or RS-232).
NOTE:

The Notified Applications list is persistent. The status of this remote ULNM will change from OK (green ) to

Communication Lost (gray ) if you uninstall a remote ULNM or if there is a communication lost event between the

shutdown controller IPP and the remote ULNM. With this mechanism the IT administrator will be able to monitor

any change in the IT distributed architecture.You can manually remove the ULNMs from this list through the

Auto

Discovery > Remove Nodes

1 Login with an administrator user profile.
2 Select Settings > System. The Systems page is displayed.
3 On the System page, double-click Module settings (see Figure 42). The Edit Modules Settings dialog

box is displayed.
