System Description
2.4Liebert MultiLink™ Shutdown
The parallel POD supports the orderly shutdown of computer operating system through its compati- bility with Liebert MultiLink 1.5 software. When properly configured to operate with Liebert Mul- tiLink 1.5, the parallel POD will operate as a complete system; On Battery and Low Battery events will not be sent from the UPS when it is operating in redundant mode and the remaining UPS is able to support the total load.
For the paralleling system to work properly with Liebert MultiLink 1.5, each connected 10kVA UPS must have an SNMP card properly installed and configured in the Liebert IntelliSlot® bay. Liebert MultiLink 1.5 will not work properly with the parallel system through the serial port connection.
