Switched Outlet Groups
Overview
The Switched Outlet Groups can be configured to independently turn off, turn on, shut down, put to sleep, and reboot connected equipment.
The Switched Outlet Groups can be commanded to do the following:
•Turn off: Disconnect from power immediately and restart only with a manual command
•Turn on: Connect to power immediately
•Shutdown: Disconnect power in sequence, and automatically reapply power in sequence when utility power becomes available
•Reboot: Shut down and restart
•Sleep: Reboot after a long delay
In addition, the Switched Outlet Groups can be configured to do the following:
•Turn on or off in a specified sequence
•Automatically turn off or shut down when various conditions occur
Note: Whether the Switched Outlet Groups are configured or not, all of the outlets provide battery
Using the Switched Outlet Groups
1.Connect critical equipment to a Switched Outlet Group.
2.Connect peripheral equipment to the other Switched Outlet Groups.
–During a power outage, to conserve battery runtime,
–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 Switched Outlet Groups will react in the event of a power outage.
