To further enhance the functionality of your Compaq

UPS, Compaq offers two option cards: the Multi-

Server UPS Card and the Scalable UPS Card.

Multi-Server UPS Card

The Multi-Server UPS Card seamlessly integrates into your Compaq UPS through an option slot available on the back of your Compaq UPS. The

Multi-Server UPS Card facilitates direct communication with your critical servers (up to three servers) via individual serial communication ports, preventing the need to purchase additional UPSs to support each server

The Compaq Multi-Server UPS Card is intelligently managed through Compaq Power Management

Software (supported on versions 1.0 and above).

With the Compaq Multi-Server UPS Card, each load segment functions as a separate UPS with individual shutdown schedules and load segment configurations.

In addition, the Compaq Multi-Server UPS Card enables system administrators the flexibility to manage multiple platforms with one Compaq UPS. If the network is down, the Compaq Multi-Server UPS

Card can still conduct prioritized shutdowns.

Scalable UPS Card

The Scalable UPS Card, also available through the option slot on the back of your Compaq UPS, enables multiple UPSs to work together as one virtual UPS, providing scalability and field upgradability. The

Scalable UPS Card protects the valuable hardware investments customers make as their power protection needs grow. As customers deploy new server hardware inevitably the power protection and management requirements increase. Typically, adding new UPSs also means adding complexity in managing the shutdown, startup, and protection requirements. The Scalable UPS Card ties up to three single phase Compaq UPSs together, creating a

“virtual” two or three phase large UPS for the management application. The user is presented with the ability to manage this virtual UPS from a single management screen, instead of being forced to manage several UPS’s connected to several servers.

When users combine the functionality of the new

UPSs with the Scalable UPS Card, the management application can offer control of up to 9 load segments

(when used with the R3000 UPS). The Scalable UPS

Option Card is fully supported under Compaq Power

Management Software version 1.0 and above.
