Compaq Power Management Software

Compaq Power Management Software allows system administrators to monitor, and to manage, the power being supplied to an entire network of servers and workstations.

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.

■Powering up and powering down protected devices.

For example, if Compaq Power Management Software detects an extended utility power blackout, it will initiate the prioritized shutdown sequence specified by the system administrator.

This sequence might include:

■Saving work-in-progress throughout the network.

■Powering down non-critical devices, to extend the battery power available to other devices.

■After saving the necessary information, completing the orderly device shutdown.

For more information on using Compaq Power Management Software, refer to the Compaq Power Products Software Reference Guide section of the Power Products Documentation CD (included with the UPS kit).
