Introduction 1-7

Power Management Software

Compaq supplies three power management software packages with each UPS:

???Compaq Power Management Software is a comprehensive Microsoft Windows-based management application that is tightly integrated with Compaq Insight Manager.

???Compaq LanSafe III provides UPS power management capabilities in a network environment.

???Compaq FailSafe III provides UPS power management capabilities in a localized computer environment.

NOTE: Outside of the Compaq Power Management Software, Compaq OnliNet provides support for the Compaq SNMP-EN Adapter.

Compaq Power Management Software

Compaq Power Management Software enables system administrators using Compaq Insight Manager to monitor and manage the power being supplied to an entire network of servers and workstations.

The software capabilities include:

???Monitoring utility power and the power supplied by the UPS

???Logging events, such as utility power blackouts and brownouts

???Prioritizing protected devices

???Start-up and shutdown of protected devices

???Controlling extended capabilities, through the use of Compaq Multi- Server UPS Cards, Compaq Scalable UPS Cards, and the Compaq SNMP-EN Adapter.

For example, if Compaq Power Management Software detects a protracted utility power blackout projected to exceed battery-supplied power limits, the application initiates a shutdown sequence specified by the system administrator. This sequence might include:

???Saving work-in-progress throughout the network

???Powering off non-critical devices to extend available battery power

???Completing an orderly device shutdown after saving critical data

For more information on using Compaq Power Management Software, refer to the ???Compaq Power Products Software Reference Guide,??? available on the Power Products Information Library CD.

Table 1-2

Hardware Options

UPS Option Cards

Two option slots are available to further expand the capabilities of the Compaq R6000 UPS in both power control and server communication for networking environments.

Option kits include the Compaq Multi-Server UPS Card, the Compaq Scalable UPS Card and the Compaq SNMP-EN Adapter. These enhancements provide communication with multiple systems, multiple UPS units, and network management applications.

Introduction 1-9

Option kits can be used in the following configurations:

Table 1-3

Option Card Matrix

Notes: Board combinations can be used in the primary UPS only. When UPS units are chained, no additional boards can be used in the other units.

For installation instructions, please see the Compaq Hardware Option Installation Guides that come with the option card kits.

1-10 Compaq R6000 Series UPS Operation and Reference Guide

Compaq Multi-Server UPS Card

Without a Compaq Multi-Server UPS Card, the UPS can communicate with two host computers. The Compaq Multi-Server UPS Card enables one UPS to communicate with up to four host computers by using all three ports on the option card and the open port on the UPS. (Port 1 will connect the card to the UPS through the pigtail cable on the card.)

Figure 1-5. The Multi-Server UPS Card

Compaq Power Management software enables a single UPS with one Compaq Multi-Server UPS Card to protect up to four servers. If two Compaq Multi- Server UPS Cards are installed, five servers can be separately protected by plugging the servers into different Compaq R6000 UPS load segments.

Even if a network includes five servers running three different operating systems???three running Windows NT, one running UNIX, and one running NetWare???two Compaq Multi-Server Cards will directly communicate between the UPS and all five servers. Each server and its associated devices can be powered from a different UPS load segment.

Introduction 1-11

Compaq Scalable UPS Card

The Compaq Scalable UPS card enables up to three UPS units to appear as a single virtual UPS to the host computer. Compaq Power Management Software gives users the capability to scale up the level of power protection available to the system.

For example, connecting three Compaq R6000 UPS units to one Scalable UPS card creates a virtual 18 kVA UPS. The virtual UPS would have nine independently-controlled load segments.

Figure 1-6. The Scalable UPS Card

1-12 Compaq R6000 Series UPS Operation and Reference Guide

Compaq SNMP-EN Adapter

The Compaq SNMP-EtherNet Adapter is a user interface to the UPS in a network where SNMP-based network management software is installed (Compaq OnliNet). Using the SNMP-EN Adapter???s communication interface, system administrators can virtually eliminate costly downtime due to power outages and/or surges. This will decrease day-to-day network management

annoyances like spontaneous rebooting, lost files and corrupted data???issues resulting from inconsistent power. The Compaq SNMP-EN Adapter provides the means to quickly ascertain if a power-related problem exists anywhere on the network.

The Compaq SNMP-EN Adapter lets you monitor the network without having to run power management software on a server. Other network

components???like hubs and routers???can be monitored, even when Compaq Power Management Software is not in use.

The Compaq SNMP-EN Adapter Kit includes Compaq OnliNet software and documentation, as well as information on installing and configuring the Compaq SNMP-EN Adapter using MIB and Power MIB.

Figure 1-7. The SNMP-EN Adapter

Introduction 1-13

Extended Runtime Modules (ERMs)

The Compaq R6000 UPS also supports Extended Runtime Modules. The UPS rear panel includes a power receptacle where the modules attach. Each ERM consists of dual battery packs in a 3U chassis.

At the recommended 80% load, one ERM will extend the available UPS runtime up to 18 minutes. Two ERMs can be serially connected to each UPS, increasing the total available runtime to up to 30 minutes.

NOTE: These figures were derived using the Compaq recommended 80% load.

Figure 1-8. Back panel with installed Extended Runtime Module

Power Distribution Units (PDUs)

You can extend the capabilities of the Compaq R6000 UPS by attaching a Compaq Power Distribution Unit (PDU) to the high current receptacle associated with load segments 1, 2, or 3. This provides 12 additional receptacles to load segments 1, 2 or 3.

The Compaq High to Low Voltage Transformer (250VA), another Compaq Power Distribution Unit, may be connected to the Compaq R6000 UPS to supply two low-voltage outlets at 250 VA. See the documentation included with each unit for Installation and Operation instructions.

You can connect your devices to the PDU using IEC-320 jumper cords (Part No. 295633-B21). To order more IEC cords, see the section in this chapter entitled, ???Configuring Load Segments.???

1-14 Compaq R6000 Series UPS Operation and Reference Guide

Remote Emergency Power Off (REPO) Port

The Compaq R6000 UPS Series models include a Remote Emergency Power Off (REPO) port, as required by the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70). The REPO port provides a terminus to attach controls that shut the UPS outputs down from a remote location. The REPO ports of multiple UPS units may be connected to a single switch or circuit to shut down the entire system in an emergency.

IMPORTANT:

???The REPO feature shuts down protected devices immediately and does not follow the orderly shutdown procedure initiated by Compaq Power Management Software.

???The REPO feature will shut down devices that are operating on battery power. When the REPO switch is re-opened, the UPS will not switch to battery power until manually re-started.

Configuring Load Segments

Considerations

Before connecting the UPS to other devices, verify the load the UPS will be carrying. Make sure that the cumulative total device Watts or VA rating (the load) does not exceed the Watts or VA rating for the UPS.

When the UPS batteries are fully charged, backup time for R6000 Series units at recommended 80% load is greater than 8 minutes without Extended Runtime Modules attached. Battery runtimes can surpass 15 minutes and more with partial loads, while ERM additions can increase runtimes up to 30 minutes, even at 80% loads. Keep this in mind when loading the UPS.

Battery runtimes may vary depending on several factors, including, but not limited to: ambient temperature; age of batteries; and, number of cycles.

Table 2-2

Load Effect on Backup Time

NOTE: Compaq recommends the load should not exceed 80% of the Compaq

R6000 UPS rated output.

Attaching the Load Segments

Attach the load equipment to the appropriate UPS output receptacles using approved power cords. See ???Load Segments??? in this section for receptacle configuration.

???Disposing of used batteries

???Care and storage of batteries

5-2 Compaq R6000 Series UPS Operation and Reference Guide

Precautions

Observe these precautions when handling or connecting batteries.

WARNING: This UPS contains sealed lead-acid batteries. To reduce the risk of fire or chemical burns, adhere to the following precautions:

???Do not attempt to recharge batteries after removal from your UPS.

???Do not disassemble, crush, or puncture the batteries.

???Do not short the external contacts of the batteries.

???Do not immerse the batteries in water.

???Do not expose the batteries to temperatures higher than 60??C or dispose in fire.

Replace only with the Compaq spare designated for your UPS.

WARNING: There is a 400Vdc potential across the batteries. To avoid the risk of electrical shock, burns, or explosion, adhere to these precautions:

???Make sure that only qualified personnel handle or connect the batteries.

???Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects prior to working with the equipment.

???Use tools with insulated handles.

Charging Batteries

The R6000 automatically charges the batteries when the UPS is connected to utility power. No user intervention is needed while the UPS is in use.

???Refer to the section on ???Completing the Installation,??? in Chapter 2, or ???Hardware Installation,??? in this chapter, for information on charging the batteries when the UPS is installed.

???Refer to ???Care and Storage??? in this chapter for information on keeping the batteries charged while the UPS is in extended storage.

Battery Maintenance 5-3

When to Replace Batteries

If the red LED flashes, check the LCD display for the type of alarm. If the alarm reads ???Battery Self-test failed,??? your batteries should be replaced within 30 to 60 days. The red LED will be accompanied by an audible alarm, if enabled.

NOTE: Depending on usage and environmental conditions, your batteries will last 3 to 6 years after purchase.

Verify that battery replacement is required by initiating a UPS self-test (press the Test/Reset Alarm). If the red LED is still flashing after the test, replace the batteries.

See Chapter 3, ???Operation,??? for information on initiating a self-test.

Pre-Failure Battery Warranty

The Pre-Failure Battery Warranty, standard on all Compaq Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) models, extends the advantage of a Compaq three-year limited warranty by applying it to the battery before it actually fails. Specifically, the Pre-Failure Battery Warranty ensures that when Compaq Power Management software notifies customers that the battery may fail, the battery is replaced free of charge under the warranty.

Compaq maintains the highest standards in the industry, as evidenced by the Compaq Pre-Failure Battery Warranty. The Pre-Failure Battery Warranty is

beneficial in at least two significant ways???reduced total cost of ownership and reduced downtime.

Obtaining New Batteries

Compaq supplies replacement battery packs for all UPS models. Procure replacement batteries for the UPS when the LCD alarm reads ???Battery Low,??? indicating that new batteries will be required in 30 to 60 days.

Replacement Battery Kit part number: 401863-001

Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and Regulations has established Radio Frequency (RF) emission limits to provide an interference-free radio frequency spectrum. Many electronic devices, including computers, generate RF energy incidental to their intended function and are, therefore, covered by these rules. These rules place computers and related peripheral devices into two classes, A and B, depending upon their intended installation. Class A devices are those that may reasonably be expected to be installed in a business or commercial environment. Class B devices are those that may reasonably be expected to be installed in a residential environment (i.e., personal computers). The FCC requires devices in both classes to bear a label indicating the interference potential of the device as well as additional operating instructions for the user.

The rating label on the device shows which class (A or B) the equipment falls into. Class B devices have an FCC logo or FCC ID on the label. Class A devices do not have an FCC logo or ID on the label. Once the class of the device is determined, refer to the following corresponding statement.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at personal expense.

Class B Equipment

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

???Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

???Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

???Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

???Consult the dealer or an experienced radio or television technician for help.

Appendix B

Electrostatic Discharge

To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when setting up the system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the device.

To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions:

???Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.

???Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.

???Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.

???Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.

???Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.

B-2 Compaq 6000 Series UPS Operation and Reference Guide

Grounding Methods

There are several methods for grounding. Use one or more of the following methods when handling or installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:

???Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or computer chassis. Wrist straps are flexible straps with a minimum of

1 megohm ?? 10 percent resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.

???Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on both feet when standing on conductive floors or dissipating floor mats.

???Use conductive field service tools.

???Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.

If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper grounding, have an Authorized Compaq Reseller install the part.
