Protecting Enterprise Environments with
Compaq UPSs (continued)
Extended Runtime for Critical Servers and More
With Compaq Power Management Software,individual load segments on Compaq UPSs can
be sequentially powered down,extending run time for more critical servers,or powered up,
ensuring correct,orderly startup such as servers before workstations.In addition,to conserve
energy,Compaq Power Management Software allows for scheduled on and off times which
are programmable for each load segment or the entire UPS.
Complete Network Power Protection
Compaq Power Management Software supports up to 64 network devices within a single
UPS group and provides unattended,sequential shutdown of every device in that group,
regardless of the operating system.Any device whose input power is supported by a single
UPS is considered to be part of a UPS group.A UPS group might be several servers or
workstations.If the network devices are connected by a network cable and can communi-
cate with one another via this interface,only a UPS-to-computer serial interface connection
is required.If different operating systems are in the UPS group,still only one copy of Power
Management Software is needed,although a signal splitting device such as Compaq’s
Multi-Server Card might be necessary.
When power quality is compromised,so are a company’s vital data files including data entry,
orders,records,e-mail messages,and other critical business information.Compaq Power
Management Software used in conjunction with Compaq UPSs plays a vital role in ensuring
data integrity and protection of your business’s critical network servers and other systems.
