기술적인 사양

User Interface

PowerChute plus (standard) Full-featured UPS management

Web-based monitoring (optional) Monitor APC UPS and MasterSwitch products from any web browser See PC Web Device Manager for more information.


UPS Administration

Task Scheduling Schedule periodic server shutdown/restart, UPS self-test and UPS runtime calibration

UPS Operating Parameters Full control over UPS transfer settings and sensitivity to power fluctuations.

UPS Audible Alarm Configure UPS alarm to beep on power failure, power failure + 30 seconds, at low battery condition, or never beep.


Diagnostics

UPS Self-test Initiate self test of local or remote UPS to maximize UPS uptime

UPS Runtime Calibration Initiate runtime calibration of local and remote UPS to maintain accurate runtime values.

Predictive failure analysis The UPS conducts regular internal self-tests. When a potential problem is detected, like the need for a replacement battery, a notification is sent to the relevant administrators and users before the problem arises.

Data Log Quickly pinpoint power problems by tracking power data such as min/max utility line voltage, battery voltage, line frequency, load capacity. Also tracks ambient temperature and humidity (requires Measure-UPS accessory). See Measure-UPS product page for more information.

Event Log Records selected power events with a description and time/date stamp to enable diagnosis of UPS/power problems.


Event Handling

Over 35 Power Events For each power or environmental event, choose as many as seven different response actions (i.e. page, email, log event, broadcast, run command file, and shutdown).

Paging Receive timely pages for power and environmental events

Email Receive timely email alerts for power and environmental events. Supports MHS.

Broadcast Receive timely broadcasts for power and environmental events

Command File Run a command file to shutdown applications before OS shutdown is initiated


Shutdown/Reboot

Operating System Shutdown Gracefully shutdown operating system in the event of an extended power failure

Application Shutdown Gracefully shuts down Lotus Notes. Create customized shutdown scripts for any application using PowerChute Command File option.

Multi-server Shutdown Via network. See PowerChute network shutdown for more information.
Via serial cable. See Interface Expander accessory for more information.

Administrative Shutdown Immediate, graceful shutdown/restart of servers

Shutdown Parameters Set and modify the shutdown parameters to best suit the needs of the server being protected. Required operating system shutdown time.

Power Return Parameters Enables automatic server reboots on return of AC power. Ensures batteries are sufficiently charged before returning power to the server to guard against successive power outages.


Recommended Applications

UNIX workstations and servers.
