possible outputs/reactions
Remotely startup or stop equipment and reboot hung or
unstable devices via dry contact
Can wire the UPS to do the following actions:
–
–
–
–
Turn on
Turn off
Initiate Self-Test
Shutdown
Customer Application

A Building/Network Administrator currently has a
relay signaling management architecture and would
like to interface their UPS to a building security
system and remotely receive UPS status information
without going through a network.
8-Port/2-Port Interface Expanders
(AP9207) & (AP9607)

The Interface Expander
provides data protection
as well as graceful
shutdown and reboot
for multiple servers on
one UPS.
Features & Benefits




Connects multiple servers. Up to 8 (1 Smart Port – 7
Simple) with the 8-Port and up to 3 (1 Smart on UPS – 2
Simple) with the 2-Port SmartSlot Card
Delays shutdown of the UPS until all servers have shut
down gracefully
Can be connected to a modem or terminal for sending
and receiving status and control information from the
UPS
When coupled with PowerChute plus software, one
server can monitor the UPS, report power conditions and
provide actual UPS data (input voltage, load, battery
capacity) through the Smart port.
Customer Application

A Network Manager in charge of server rooms wishes
to manage multiple OS-independent file and
database servers using a single UPS.
Single & Triple Expansion Chassis
(AP9600) & (AP9604)

The Expansion Chassis
gives network
administrators one, or
three additional slots
respectively, in SmartUPS, Matrix-UPS,
Symmetra Power Array,
and Silcon UPSs to
customarily monitor and
manage their UPS.
Features & Benefits



Allows the use of multiple SmartSlot cards to create a
unique solution for each, individual customer
Offers an opportunity for various forms of functionality
and manageability of equipment
Customer Application

A Facility operator running multiple remote locations
which house temperature critical devices, must be
notified of any temperature and/or humidity changes,
unauthorized entry, pipe bursts, fire, or cut in utility.
With the Triple Chassis he can combine a Web/SNMP
Card, Out-of-Band Management Card (for
redundancy) and an Environmental Monitoring Card
to view all of this necessary information.
PowerView (AP9215)

PowerView is a hand-held
control panel for network
administrators that configures
and controls UPSs in rack,
computer room, and data
center environments.
