Using an Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS)
Your SmartSwitch 6000 or Matrix E7 supports the use of a UPS (uninterruptable power
supply) through its COM port (if configured through local management). (For more
information on the use of a UPS with the SmartSwitch 6000 or Matrix E7, consult the
SmartSwitch 6000 or Matrix E7 Installation Manual that was included when you
purchased the unit.) You can view or change the status of the UPS connected to your
SmartSwitch 6000 or Matrix E7 at the UPS window.
Please note that the UPS window will only be active if you currently have a UPS attached
to your SmartSwitch 6000 or Matrix E7 through the COM port, and you have correctly set
the Set UPS ID field.
Accessing the UPS Window
At the UPS window, you can configure the UPS ID model type for the uninterruptable
power supply you have attached to the COM port on your device.
You can also view information concerning the UPS connected to your SmartSwitch 6000
or Matrix E7 including:
• The amount of time that your UPS has been running since the last start-up
• The line voltage and battery output
• The actual battery capacity of the UPS (dynamic bar graph)
You can also use a button at the bottom of the window to disconnect your UPS, or you can
use the Test option to initiate a self test of the unit.
To access the UPS window:
1. From the Device View window, click on Device in the menu bar to access the
Device menu.
2. Click on UPS. The UPS window, Figure 2-18 , will appear.
WARNING
Do not set the Set UPS ID field unless you have a UPS attached to the SmartSwitch 6000
or Matrix E7, or you will disrupt your use of NetSight Element Manager.
