Multi-Server
Card
Managers need products that give them maximum
control of their power environment and protect
their systems from the harmful effects of power
irregularities. The Powerware Multi-Server card fills
a critical market need, allowing users to monitor
their power environment and gracefully shut down
multiple protected computer systems with a
mixture of various operating systems.
This product is designed to function with any
Powerware UPS that has an X-slot communication
device, and is also compatible with Powerware
Expansion Chassis. The Multi-Server card has six
serial ports, three of which correspond with the
multiple load segments of your Powerware UPS. By
utilizing multiple serial cables and LanSafe software,
you can perform simultaneously yet independent
monitoring and control of up to six servers with a
mixture of operating systems.
This feature allows a manager to configure each server
to provide a graceful shutdown at the optimum time
desired, allowing the most critical loads the maximum
runtime available.
The Multi-Server card includes one serial port that
provides monitoring for low battery, on bypass, or
utility failure conditions. This port also is used for
configuration of the Multi-Server card. Plug and Play
(PnP) protocol allows easy configuration by
automatically identifying the type of PnP device
attached to the serial ports.
