Protection: shutting down servers

To ensure the integrity of the system and the data, a computer

operating system must be shut down in the correct sequence.

Dedicated shutdown software must be installed on the servers

to execute various functions before the power supply is cut off.

These functions include:

• executingascripttocloseapplicationsrunningontheserver;

• initiatingashutdownsequenceorhibernationafterapre-

settimeoutorjustbeforetotalbatterydischarge;

• rebootingtheoperatingsystemautomaticallyormanually

whenthemainspowerisrestored;

• showingUPSalertstotheuser.

The Network Shutdown Module can be used to carry out actions

selectively for redundant UPS systems (servers with multiple power

supplies, paralleled UPSs, etc.) to provide the highest availability and

data integrity for the most critical data. Eaton Network Shutdown

Modules operate equally well with Web/SNMP card and SNMP

proxy systems and can easily be configured remotely via a browser.

Additional functions

Individual outlet socket control

Many systems from Eaton have individual output receptacles for

turning groups of devices on and off. This feature is particularly

useful for:

• sheddingnon-criticalsystemswhenthereisapowercut;

• definingstart-upsequences;

• individual management of several IT systems connected to a

central UPS.

Remote on/off control

As an entire UPS or some of its outlets can be turned on and off

remotely, it becomes a smart IT equipment switch. This function

makes it possible, for example, to restart a locked-up hardware

device from a remote site. Outlet control can be automatic or

manually controlled locally or remotely.

Saving energy function

This function can be used to program shutdown and restart

sequences for all UPS-protected devices. For example,

workstations, printers, network devices and selected servers can

be shut down and powered off outside of business hours.
