American Power Conversion 2200 manual Options

7.Options

7.1Overview

This unit has several options that support advanced operation. Advanced operations include grace- ful shutdown of a protected computer, and several communication and command

functions.

Computer systems require time to perform an orderly shutdown, without corrupting or losing data. In an extended power failure, a computer system protected by this unit eventually will lose power when the battery is exhausted. Using monitoring, the unit and the computer system commu- nicate so that the computer system is warned of impending unit shutdown and has time to shut it- self down gracefully.

7.2 Software

Use available power management software for unattended operation of servers and workstations, power quality related data logging, shutdown notification and control, auto-restart, diagnostics, and battery conservation features. Software is available for most operating systems and is sup- plied with a signalling cable that connects to the unit. See your dealer or call the number at the front of this manual for more information.

7.3 Interface Kits

For computer systems that have built-in monitoring features, a series of interface kits are available to connect the unit to your system. Each kit includes the appropriate interface cable to convert the unit’s status signals into signals your system recognizes (use only factory supplied or authorized monitoring cables). See your dealer or call the number at the front of this manual for more infor- mation.

7.4 Accessory Slot

The capabilities of the accessories that plug into the unit’s accessory slot include; SNMP monitoring and control, multiple server support for one unit, out-of-band management, special signalling, power control, and environment monitoring.
