39UPS Network Management Card 2 User’s Guide
How outlet groups turn on and off depends on how they are configured and how you turn the UPS on or
off:
• Until you configure the actions described in “The control option” on page 39 and their related
delays described in “The settings option (including automatic load-shedding)” on page 40, when
you turn on the UPS output, any outlet group that is off turns on by default and applies power to
all devices attached to the outlets in that group.
• After you configure the actions and delays, the actions and delays control how outlet groups turn
on and off when you turn the UPS on or off from the user interface of the Network Management
Card or the display interface at the UPS.
The control option
While the output of the UPS is on, select the UPS tab and then the control option under Outlets or
Outlet Groups to turn on, turn off, or restart any outlet group. This option lists by name and state (on or
off) each outlet group that is configured through the settings option.
You can select any of the following actions (or no action) for the group.
• When the state of the outlet group is off:
– On Immediately: Turn on the group immediately.
– On with Delay: Turn on the group after the number of seconds configured as Power On
Delay.
• When the state of the outlet group is on:
– Off Immediately: Turn off the group immediately
– Off with Delay: Turn off the group after the number of seconds configured as Power Off
Delay.
– Reboot Immediately: Turn off the group immediately, then turn it on after the number of
seconds configured as Reboot Duration and Power On Delay
– Reboot with Delay: Turn the outlet group off after the number of seconds configured as
Power Off Delay, then turn it on after the number of seconds configured as Reboot Duration
and Power On Delay.
• For some UPS models, when the state of the outlet group is on and the UPS is on battery:
– Shutdown Immediately, AC Restart: Turn off the group immediately. After the number of
seconds configured as Reboot Duration and Power On Delay, check that AC utility power
has returned and the UPS can support the minimum return runtime demand, then turn on the
group.
– Shutdown with Delay, AC Restart: Turn off the group after the number of seconds
configured as Power Off Delay. After the number of seconds configured as Reboot Duration
and Power On Delay, check that AC utility power has returned and the UPS can support the
minimum return runtime demand, then turn on the group.
After you select an action, click Next>> to view a detailed description of the action, including the
duration of any delays. Click Apply to confirm the action.
