Diagnostics Page
You can run a self-test or a run-time calibration for any APC UPS. The UPS audible alarm test is model-
specific and may not be available for your UPS.
Outlet Groups
Outlet grouping is available on some UPS models only. To determine whether your UPS
model supports outlet groups, see your UPS documentation.
The available settings differ based on the UPS model. For detailed information about fields
and values specific to your UPS model, see the online help.
Main outlet groups
Some UPS models provide AC power to one main outlet group.
Note: The main outlet group controls the distribution of power to all switched outlet
groups for the UPS.
• If the main outlet group is off, the switched outlet groups cannot be turned on.
• If you turn off the main outlet group, the UPS turns off the switched outlet groups first, then
turns off the main outlet group
• To turn on a switched outlet group, the UPS must turn on the main outlet group first, and
then turn on the switched outlet group
Switched outlet groups
Some UPS models provide power to switched outlet groups. Each group can perform actions
independently of the other groups. By controlling each outlet group remotely, you can start or stop
devices sequentially and restart locked devices.
Field Description
Self-test The result (passed, failed, or unavailable) and date of the last UPS self-test.
Calibration The result of the last runtime calibration. A calibration recalculates remaining runtime and
requires the following:
• Because a calibration temporarily depletes the UPS batteries, you can perform a calibration
only if battery capacity is at 100%.
• For some UPSs, the load must be at least 7% for a calibration to be performed.
Initiate Select a diagnostic procedure to perform immediately: a test of the UPS audible alarm, a UPS
self-test, or a run-time calibration.
When you test the audible alarm of a member of a Synchronized Control Group:
• In the Web interface, this option tests the alarms of all enabled members of the group.
• In SNMP, you can set the OID upsAdvControlFlashAndBeep to flashAndBeep (2) to test
the alarm of an individual UPS or to flashAndBeepSyncGroup (3) to test the alarms of all
enabled group members.
