Dell UPS Management Software: Common Software Installation Scenarios

Scenario 2: Single UPS, multiple servers, Ethernet connectivity
using the NMC
In this scenario (the required scenario for managing UPSs in virtualized environments):
 All servers are powered by a single UPS.
 All servers communicate directly with the UPS for status and action information.
 UPS-to-server communication is through the Dell UPS Network Management Card.

Power cables are shown for illustrative purposes only.
For best practices for cabling, refer to the Dell UPS Cabling Guide.
Scenario 2: Connectivity
Connect the Dell UPS Network Management Card (NMC) to the customer network through a standard
Ethernet cable. The NMC has DHCP enabled by default, so before proceeding, allocate a static IP
address for the NMC. This can be done either through a terminal interface using the supplied serial
cable, or through a Web browser (enter the NMC IP address in the address bar).
All servers should be connected to the same LAN as the Dell UPS Network Management Card.
