Compaq’s full range of power management products provide you with the power to protect,
the power to manage,the power to communicate with your network,and the power to guar-
antee maximum data integrity.
Ultimate,Long-Term Battery Reliability with Compaq Enhanced
Battery Management
Batteries that are constantly trickle-charged reach the end of their useful life in less than half
the time of those charged using advanced techniques such as Compaq’s Enhanced Battery
Management technology.Compaq understands that the battery reliability of your UPS is
essential to ensuring network server protection.Compaq’s Enhanced Battery Management,
standard with all Compaq UPSs,is an advanced battery technology that uses a patented,three-
stage charging technique that doubles battery service life,optimizes battery recharge time,and
provides up to a 60-day advanced notification of pending battery failure.
Intelligent Manageability with Compaq Power Management
Software
Compaq Power Management Software allows for diagnostics,monitoring,user notification,
and — when necessary during an extended blackout — unattended,prioritized shutdown of
multiple servers and client workstations.For ultimate intelligent manageability,the Compaq
UPS has been designed to schedule startups and shutdowns of connected equipment and con-
trol separate receptacle groups (load segments).
More Flexibility with Compaq UPS Option Cards
All Compaq UPS option cards seamlessly integrate into the back of your Compaq UPS.
The Compaq Multi-Server Card facilitates direct communication with up to three servers,
thereby eliminating the need for multiple UPSs.The Compaq Scalable Card enables multiple
UPSs to work together and be monitored as one logical UPS providing enhanced protection,
scalability (runtime),and future expandability.
Preserve Valuable Rack Space with the Compaq Power
Distribution Unit
Designed to fit into a Compaq rack cabinet environment,the Compaq Power Distribution
Unit provides managed power distribution and surge protection via 12 circuit-breaker
and fuse-protected AC receptacles.The unique sidewall-mount design of the Compaq

on-site limited warranty,as well as an additional $25,000 Computer Load Protection Guarantee
(provided by Compaq’s original equipment manufacturer),while competitive systems typically
offer only a two-year warranty.
Why Buy Compaq Power Management
Products?

The heart of any UPS is the battery.The maintenance-free,sealed,lead-acid cells used in
virtually all manufacturers’UPSs have a two- to four-year life expectancy.When the batteries
die,the UPS is no longer uninterruptible,leaving its user unprotected in the event of a
power failure.Compaq’s Enhanced Battery Management is a proprietary technology that
doubles battery service life,provides up to a 60-day advance warning of pending battery
failure,and offers the fastest safe recharge time — increasing the return on your UPS
investment.This innovative technology is comprised of three components:
Double Battery Service Life with Intelligent Battery Charging
All UPS batteries need charging.Extended charging,however,significantly shortens battery
life.The Compaq UPS utilizes a patented three-stage charging process that ultimately doubles
battery service life.First,the Compaq UPS rapid charges the battery to 90%.A constant
voltage (float charge) continues until the battery reaches full capacity.The charger is then
turned off and the Compaq UPS goes into a rest mode,enabling the battery to be preserved
for future power failures. Most manufacturers use a trickle-charging method (a constant
voltage feeding a low current to the battery) which dries the electrolyte and corrodes the
plates,reducing potential battery life by up to 50%.
Advance Notification of Battery Replacement with Sophisticated
Monitoring Techniques
All batteries will eventually fail.Because UPS batteries are valve-regulated,sealed,lead-acid
cells,there has not been a practical way to provide users with advance notification of battery
failure.The only way to determine that batteries needed replacing was to wait until the power
failed,taking the servers and computers down with it.Compaq’s Enhanced Battery Management
is the only technology available that reliably provides advance notification prior to battery fail-
ure.The Compaq UPS microprocessor periodically initiates a brief discharge cycle to check the
internal impedance of the battery.This impedance is calculated and compared to an ideal bat-
tery state,indicating to the user,well in advance,when battery replacement is necessary.
Minimize Battery Use with Superior Voltage Regulation
Most manufacturers’UPSs monitor input voltage variations as low as -25%,but transfer to
battery when a surge or a sag needs to be filtered in the system.This type of voltage regulation
shortens the UPS’s battery service life.Compaq’s innovative Buck/Double Boost voltage
regulation ensures consistent input voltage to the load by automatically “bucking”it if it is
too high,or “boosting”it if it is too low.Voltage variations as low as -35% or as high as +20%
are corrected — without transferring to battery.This reduces the number of charge/recharge
cycles, thereby prolonging the life of the Compaq UPS battery.

The Costly Effects of Power Problems in an Enterprise Environment
The effects of blackouts and other power problems in an enterprise environment can be
devastating and costly. Using a Compaq UPS to protect servers and other critical equipment
prevents unnecessary downtime,loss of data,and damage to your hardware.Maximum data
integrity and system uptime require a prioritized shutdown plan which is managed by Compaq
Power Management Software.Preserving data is an increasingly complex issue in today’s
enterprise environments.Communication systems are required to transfer and store informa-
tion within internal computer networks and must also provide critical links to the enterprise-
wide networks.
Data Integrity of Your Entire Network with Compaq Power
Management Software
A prioritized shutdown ensures that all network devices are shut down in a orderly,sequential
manner,saving all work-in-progress throughout the network.Compaq Power Management
Software empowers network administrators by allowing them to define their own shutdown
process.Thus,a company’s most critical equipment (such as a database or file server) can be
shut down last,after work-in-progress has been saved from client workstations through hubs,
switches,routers,and communication servers.

Protecting Enterprise Environments with
Compaq UPSs (continued)
Extended Runtime for Critical Servers and More
With Compaq Power Management Software,individual load segments on Compaq UPSs can
be sequentially powered down,extending run time for more critical servers,or powered up,
ensuring correct,orderly startup such as servers before workstations.In addition,to conserve
energy,Compaq Power Management Software allows for scheduled on and off times which
are programmable for each load segment or the entire UPS.
Complete Network Power Protection
Compaq Power Management Software supports up to 64 network devices within a single
UPS group and provides unattended,sequential shutdown of every device in that group,
regardless of the operating system.Any device whose input power is supported by a single
UPS is considered to be part of a UPS group.A UPS group might be several servers or
workstations.If the network devices are connected by a network cable and can communi-
cate with one another via this interface,only a UPS-to-computer serial interface connection
is required.If different operating systems are in the UPS group,still only one copy of Power
Management Software is needed,although a signal splitting device such as Compaq’s
Multi-Server Card might be necessary.
When power quality is compromised,so are a company’s vital data files including data entry,
orders,records,e-mail messages,and other critical business information.Compaq Power
Management Software used in conjunction with Compaq UPSs plays a vital role in ensuring
data integrity and protection of your business’s critical network servers and other systems.

Your UPS Just Got Smarter with Compaq Power Management
Software
Compaq Power Management Software takes server data protection the extra mile,and then
some.Management notification,diagnostics, monitoring,and — when necessary during an
extended blackout — unattended,prioritized shutdown of multiple Compaq servers and client
workstations are standard features of Compaq Power Management Software. Because the
Compaq UPS supports separate load segments,users can program Compaq Power Management
Software to schedule segment-by-segment shutdowns and startups of connected equipment.
Status Information is Clear and Complete
For any Compaq server or system device in your network,you can access UPS status infor-
mation quickly and easily.The Status function provides a color-coded system overview (nor-
mal,degraded, or failed) at the status button on the Compaq Power Management Window.
The status window provides color-coded information on system elements,including UPS
communications,UPS operational status,utility power,battery charge,utility ground fault
detection,inverter power, and UPS overload detection.
The Power Situation is Easy to Understand
The Compaq Power Management PowerScope screen provides a graphical,real-time display
of the inside of the UPS.
The PowerScope display is a dynamic,functional block diagram of power from the source,
through the UPS,and out to the load.For any Compaq server on the network,the PowerScope
shows the UPS input and output voltages (color-coded for easy interpretation),available
battery run time in minutes, and the percentage load,a measure of the capacity of the UPS.

Load Segmenting for Extended Backup Time
The Compaq UPS has individually controlled load segments.If power fails,users can extend
backup time for their most critical servers or systems via Compaq Power Management Software.
The Attachments window enables configuration of the connected servers/systems to specified
load segments.Once this is done,the shutdown window details your Shutdown Timing
in terms of wink time,countdown time,and shutdown delay, assuring a prioritized system
shutdown.Similarly, the Startup Timing feature ensures a prioritized return to service.
Automatic Alert Communication
Compaq Power Management Software provides additional Alert Handling capabilities.These
capabilities allow you to customize alert messages in another language,configure the system
to execute commands in the occurrence of a particular alert,and to broadcast messages
and off-site e-mails in any given alert situation.This ensures that the entire system adminis-
tration staff is fully informed of any system emergency.
Scheduled Shutdowns
Why spend money on power by running equipment you don’t need? Compaq Power Management
Software and Compaq UPSs supporting load segments give you the ability to run the equip-
ment you want when you want to.Shutdowns and restarts can be scheduled on a regular
basis for each day of the week. If a piece of equipment isn’t needed (on weekends and holi-
days,for example),the system shuts it down and doesn’t start it until you program it to do so.
Shutdown/Reboot Flexibility
Use Compaq Power Management Software to Shutdown your UPS with three restart options.
An immediate Reboot can be performed,the startup can be timed for any user-specified
interval,or it may be permanent until the UPS is restarted manually.
Information Logs
The power event and battery management Logs provide a history of significant system events
that can be used for problem detection and resolution.
Diagnostics
Compaq Power Management Software Diagnostics features a Power Monitor window
reminder when it’s time to run preventive maintenance.You can program the messages for
whatever time intervals you need.When you start Diagnostics,you start a simple but
vital test of every UPS on the network for approximately 40 seconds, wherein your system is
put on battery power to test the circuitry.This way you know your UPS will be ready in the
event of an emergency.

How It Works
The Compaq Power Management Software Agent runs on each Compaq computer and Compaq
server supported by a Compaq UPS.As long as the equipment is running,the agent observes
the power environment of the UPS.Access to Compaq Power Management Software is through
the UPS icon within the Compaq Insight Manager Console.
Should utility power fail or another significant power problem occur, the Compaq UPS
places connected servers and systems on battery power and the Compaq Power Management
Software issues an alert.The alert goes via an SNMP trap to the system administrator’s work-
station (Windows NT or Windows 95) running Compaq Insight Manager.
Compaq Power Management Software responds to the alert as programmed by the system
administrator.As the power event continues,Compaq Power Management Software begins
a prioritized system shutdown,saving all work-in-progress throughout the network.

95, IBM OS/2 1.21B, SCO Unix 5.0 and 5.02, Unixware, and Novell Netware Intranetware 3.X and 4.X.
With Compaq UPS load segment control,users have the flexibility to configure scheduled
startups and shutdowns of their equipment,as well as to independently control load segments.
Working in conjunction with Compaq Power Management Software, the Compaq UPS can
be configured to extend run times for critical devices.Because the receptacles on the back
of the Compaq UPS are divided into two or more groups — called load segments — each
load can be controlled independently.*By shutting down one load segment,the runtime for
more critical servers and systems is extended on the other load segment, providing addi-
tional protection by shutting down less critical servers and systems first.
Compaq Power Management Software also facilitates a prioritized startup of connected
equipment.Furthermore,the power scheduling feature allows for scheduled on-and-off
times,promoting energy and power conservation.
*700 UPS Series have only one load segment.

While Enhanced Battery Management has the ability to double battery service life,it cannot
prevent inevitable battery failure.When your batteries reach the end of their useful life,
replacement is easy with hot-swappable batteries.Simple access through the front panel
allows users to safely install new batteries without ever powering down the connected
equipment.
Tower Series: T700,T1000,T1500,T2000, and T2400h
For models without internal batteries (Tower models 2000 and 2400h), the procedure is
accomplished by replacing battery packs.

To further enhance your UPS communication capabilities,Compaq offers two UPS option
cards that provide additional management and control capabilities during a power failure
and are available at a minimum investment.
Compaq Multi-Server Card
With Compaq’s Multi-Server Card,users can serially connect up to three network devices
to a single UPS.This allows communication for networks with multiple servers or disparate
operating systems.So a business running Novell,Windows NT, and Unix servers does not
have to acquire an individual UPS for each piece of equipment.The Multi-Server card permits
out-of-band communication with up to three servers even when the network is down. It
saves you money since it is not necessary to buy additional UPSs.
Application: Need to add an NT server and another UPS for serial communications?
Solution: Install the Compaq Multi-Server Card and manage multiple platforms with
one UPS.

Compaq Scalable Card
Because evolving system needs may require a higher power level to accommodate an increased
load,users can add the Scalable Card to their Compaq UPS.Enabling up to three UPSs to
be connected to one group of network devices,this option provides power scalability and
field upgradeability. Rather than having to purchase a new,larger UPS to increase load
capacity, users can choose to connect a second or third UPS to the original UPS to achieve
the right power level for their system.
Application: Need increased server capacity;need a larger UPS?
Solution: Add another (smaller) UPS and install Compaq’s Scalable Card.This provides
flexibility and eliminates the need to buy a larger UPS.In the example below,
Load 1 on UPS 2 becomes a virtual third load segment.

Network Configurations
There are several configuration options when using Compaq UPSs to protect a Local Area
Network (LAN).
Server or Single Workstation Only
For those seeking basic protection,using one UPS to protect a single server or single work-
station is considered sufficient.In case of a power failure,data integrity is maintained.The data,
however,is not accessible by unprotected servers or workstations until normal power is resumed.
Central UPS for Server and Nodes or Total Multi-User
Environment
Use of one central UPS is recommended for more critical LAN environments when each
workstation’s processing transactions must be kept current and where workstation location
does not require special wiring or use of extension cords to connect to the UPS.This single
UPS must not only support all connected equipment, but also must be large enough to
allow for future expansion.
Multiple UPSs for Server and Nodes or Individual Workstations
Using multiple UPSs is recommended in the most critical real-time processing environ-
ments.It is often the most practical option for both financial and safety reasons and
requires no special wiring.In addition, as the LAN grows,additional UPSs are added to
each workstation location,instead of replacing an outgrown unit.
Multiple Servers with One UPS
Connecting one UPS to more than one server is practical in applications where there are
multiple servers in close proximity to one another (especially common in rack cabinet
configurations).In such cases,it may be more economical or a space-saving advantage to
use one larger UPS instead of two smaller ones to back up multiple servers.

Which Compaq UPS is Right for You?
Determining the Required
UPS Power Rating
The table below shows which UPS models
can be used with the various Compaq
server and storage system models.This
will vary with actual configurations,
type of peripherals also protected by
the UPS,and amount of backup time
required.The VA values shown on the
adjacent chart are maximum values.
For configurations involving multiple
servers and/or additional critical stor-
age/option products,simply add up the
total VA of the equipment that will be
plugged into the UPS and select the
UPS model with a VA rating higher than
the equipment load.To allow for future
system growth,a good rule of thumb is
that the computer load should be about
60% - 80% of the UPS VA capacity.

Understanding Power Quality
What is Power Quality?
Industry relies on power quality,yet lack of reliable power can lead to substantial problems.
Power quality is,in essence,powering and grounding sensitive electronic equipment in the
manner that is suitable for its operation.Power quality problems arise when there is a differ-
ence between the quality of power supplied and the quality of power required for reliable load
equipment operation.The electronics age has unveiled two apparent truths about power:
• Utilities cannot provide the clean and consistent power that sensitive electronic equipment
demands.
• Computer or communications customers are ultimately responsible for the safe operation
of their equipment.
You may be surprised to learn that while the power supplied by local utility companies is
sufficient to run components such as lights and television sets,it is not suitable for sensitive
electronic equipment such as computers and servers.
What is the Real Impact of Power Quality Problems?
The financial impact of power quality problems can be astronomical.It is estimated that “dirty
power”and associated momentary disturbances in transmission can cost industry in lost pro-
duction and equipment damage between $3 billion and $5 billion per year.1 The real effects of
system downtime,including lost data and business opportunities,can be immeasurable.
According to a survey by the Business Communications Co.,downtime costs are estimated
between $1,000 per hour and more than $78,000 per hour.Some studies raise this estimate
to $500,000 per hour.
On an even more serious note, research has shown that only 43% of businesses suffering a
substantial power disaster ever recover sufficiently to resume business,according to the
National Archives and Records Administration in Washington,DC.
Every data processing professional knows the risk of hardware damage resulting from a major
disaster.But the truth is that everyday dirty power poses a far greater risk to processing systems
because there’s no way to get rid of dirty power without power protection equipment.Power
problems alone account for 45% of computer data loss,according to Contingency Research
Inc.Equipment that utilizes adequate power protection will experience less downtime.
Although this information emphasizes power quality in the United States,foreign power is
generally more erratic and therefore more damaging than that in the U.S.
What are the Causes of Power Problems?
Only 35% of power problems are generated outside the home or office by events such as
lightning,utility grid switching,mis-wiring,etc.Almost all electrical surges or transient volt-
age activity are generated within the home or business.
Sags are the most common disturbance at a typical computer site (72.1%),followed by surges
(15.8%) and spikes (8.1%).Four out of five computer crashes and communications problems
are caused by deep sags and not power outages and blackouts.2

Understanding UPS Configuration
In the Configure Mode,the LEDs allow factory-set defaults to be changed.A user may
wish to alter these functions if the AC input consistently fluctuates higher or lower than
the factory-set nominal input voltage.Other changeable functions include LEDs for
extended voltage,shutdown delay,sleep mode,low battery,and AC input failure. In the
Configure Mode,each LED represents a changeable function,with the control buttons
responsible for enabling or disabling them (see illustration below).
Questions & Answers
Where can I find definitions of the setting and instructions on how to change
the UPS configurations?
In the Compaq UPS user manual.
How do I get into configure mode?
Press the ON and Self Test/Alarm Silencer button at the same time to switch to configure
mode.Once in configure mode,use the ON button to scroll through the LEDs (LED will flash).
Then,to turn on or off a particular LED, simply press the Self Test/Alarm Silencer button
(while in configure mode).The light over the ON button will be green if the LED is on
and no light will appear if the LED is off.
Can I configure voltage settings via the front panel?
Yes,the front panel is the only place you can configure voltages other than the default setting
already programmed on the UPS.Refer to the above question on how to change these defaults.
UPS Technology
What UPS technology is available with the Compaq UPS?
The Compaq UPS utilizes a line-interactive plus topology which features sine wave output
and superior input/output voltage regulation.This technology is inherently reliable and
highly efficient.The Compaq UPS can correct input voltage variations as low as -35% of
nominal voltage without transferring to the battery.This will ensure the battery is preserved
and ready for the next power anomaly.
Does the UPS have a transformer?
Yes.Its function is to provide buck and boost regulation as well as provide isolation between
the battery and the output.
Can I change the line cord that is provided with the UPS?
We strongly recommend,due to worldwide safety standards,that you do not remove or
change the line cords provided with the UPS.
Can I change the plug provided with the UPS?
Yes,as long as the new plug is rated the same voltage and amperage as the provided plug.
What does the ground fault indicator (LED # 5,front panel) tell me?
This would indicate a possible wiring error in the outlet to the UPS,which should be checked
by an electrician.In high voltage applications (240 V), however,this alarm is always on,even
in a correctly wired installation.If this is the case,it should be disabled.
When should I disable the SLEEP feature (LED # 9,front panel) ?
In lightly loaded applications that you wish to keep running (less than 5% load) the sleep
feature should be disabled.
