Compaq SNMP-EN Internal Adapter
In a network environment, the SNMP-EN Internal Adapter provides a user
interface, allowing communication between the UPS and the server (when the
SNMP-based power management software, Compaq OnliNet Centro, is
installed). For workstations or other peripheral equipment that cannot be
interrupted by a network management system, a UPS with the SNMP-EN
Internal Adapter option installed can also provide a power management
solution.
Using the SNMP-EN Internal Adapter SNMP communication interface,
system administrators can quickly ascertain if power-related problems exist
anywhere on the network. A Compaq UPS, connected by an SNMP-EN
Internal Adapter to power management software, can virtually eliminate costly
downtime due to power outages or surges, and decrease day-to-day network
management annoyances like spontaneous rebooting, lost files and corrupted
data—issues resulting from inconsistent power.
Compaq OnliNet Centro software is a versatile application that can schedule
network component shutdowns or, in case of a utility power outage, perform
graceful, sequential shutdown of network components.
Remote Emergency Power Off (REPO) Port
The 3000 Series UPS models include a Remote Emergency Power Off
(REPO) port. The REPO feature allows the UPS to be shut down from a
remote location. To use this feature, the REPO port must be connected to a
remote, normally open switch (not supplied). When this switch is closed, the
UPS immediately disconnects power from its load segments.
To shut down the entire network in the event of an emergency, the REPO ports
of multiple UPS units can be connected to a single switch.
IMPORTANT: The REPO port meets the requirements of NFPA Articles 645-10 and
645-11 for a Disconnecting Means.
IMPORTANT:
If the remote switch is closed, the REPO feature shuts down protected devices
immediately and does not utilize the orderly shutdown procedure initiated by
Compaq Power Management Software.
The REPO feature shuts down UPS units operating under either utility or
battery power.
If the UPS was operating on battery power when the remote switch was closed, no
power will be available to the devices until utility power is restored.
