Using the Controllable Outlet Groups and UPS outlets
The UPS outlets function as a master switch. They turn on first when power is applied, shut off last when there is a power outage and battery
The UPS outlets must be turned on for the Controllable Outlet Groups to turn on.
1.Connect critical equipment to the UPS outlets (except for 1500 VA models; then, connect all critical equipment to one Controllable Outlet Group.)
2.Connect peripheral equipment to the Controllable Outlet Groups.
–Nonessential equipment that should shut off quickly in the event of a power outage to conserve battery runtime can be added to a short
–If equipment has dependent peripherals that must restart or shut down in a specific order, such as an ethernet switch that must restart before a connected server, connect the devices to separate groups
–Equipment that needs to reboot independently from other equipment should be added to a separate group
3.Use the Configuration menus to configure how the Controllable Outlet Groups will react in the event of a power outage.
