introduction of Pulsar UPS
benefits
Network servers and data are very sensitive to
electrical disturbances of all types including out-
ages, brownout, voltage sags, interference, etc.
The origins of disturbances also vary, ranging from
atmospheric phenomena such as lightning or frost,
to near-by devices generating interference such as
elevators, copiers and machine-tools, not to men-
tion human errors such as the accidental pulling
out of power cords or tripping of circuit breakers.
The consequences of disturbances on computer
systems range from damage to hardware (power
supplies, hard disks) to the loss of data.
Pulsar ESV+
Rack
has been specially designed to
protect network servers and all other connected
devices that are sensitive to electrical distur-
bances. Pulsar ESV+
Rack
adds fault-tolerance to
the power source supplying your server.
Pulsar ESV+
Rack
is designed as a compact unit
that silently protects your electrical devices.
Because of its backup battery, Pulsar ESV+
Rack
protects your system for several minutes (see the
"characteristics" section) in the event of a power
failure. A built-in filtering system protects connect-
ed devices from line interference. Finally, to
counter voltage sags or spikes, Pulsar ESV+
Rack
uses voltage compensation circuits ("booster" and
"fader" modes) to guarantee a stable supply of
clean power.
As standard, Pulsar ESV+
Rack
offers the
PowerShare function that was previously available
only on large UPSs. Power outputs may be
remotely controlled, thus making possible sequen-
tial start-ups of various devices, selective load
shedding in the event of an overload and priority
management near the end of battery power to pro-
tect the most sensitive load.
options
■■ UM Sensor environment measurement unit:
compatible with SNMP or Solution PacTM, this
unit measures the temperature and the relative
humidity in the room where the Pulsar is installed.
Eight relay contacts are provided to transmit sig-
nals to an administration platform, in the form of
voltage free contacts to enable monitoring of (fire
alarm, climate control fault, intrusion, etc.);
additional communications options:
■■ SNMP administration: MGE has the most com-
plete offering for the administration of a group of
UPSs using the SNMP protocol with different net-
work-connection modules (SNMP card or proxy
software), supervision modules (application for
NMS platforms such as HP OpenView or C.A.
UNICENTER TNG) and a file-closing module (UM
Client).
■■ SNMP card: this card, inserted into your UPS,
can establish a direct Ethernet network connection
for your UPS. It can then be temporarily managed
using SNMP or the various software modules of
Solution-Pac. The MGE UPS SYSTEMS offering
complies with RFC 1628 specifications (IETF) and
was certified by the InterWorking Labs during the
Test Summit in June 1994;
■■ status information card: this option provides
you with 3 data elements on voltage-free contacts:
operating on battery, low battery warning, operat-
ing on utility power. This card can be used with
the UPS driver of IBM AS/400.
Contact your reseller for further information on
these options.

Pulsar ESV+
Rack
offers a number of functions
and characteristics intended to simplify power
management:
■■ automatic battery test carried out periodically. In
the event of a fault, a LED provides enough
advance warning for battery replacement;
■■ LEDs on the front signalling all types of faults
and alarms;
■■ bar graph continuously indicating the battery
charge level or the computer-application load level;
■■ environment friendly: all components are recy-
clable and an electronic power-saver device
reduces consumption if the UPS is not active for a
period exceeding five minutes;
■■ Pulsar ESV+
Rack
incluses user-replaceable
batteries, no need to power off connected equip-
ments to replace them;
■■ ESV Driver software is part of our CD-ROM
(*).
It lets you edit the default parameters of Pulsar to
ideally match your requirements;
■■ Pusar ESV+
Rack
is Plug and Play: its installa-
tion on Windows 95/98 is fully automatic;
■■ advanced operation and monitoring of Pulsar
are achieved by means of the Solution-Pac
CD-ROM included in your package.To learn more
about all the advanced features offered (system
shutdown, remote monitoring, SNMP administra-
tion,…) please view the navigator tool of the CD-
ROM;
■■ network protection is built-in to ensure safe data
transmission.
