Chapter 1
Overview
Compaq Power Management (CPM) software works with Compaq Insight
Manager
TM
to ensure maximum power reliability of Compaq computer
systems through flexible, comprehensive control of all Compaq
Uninterruptible Power Systems (UPS) in network environments.
Compaq Power Management software runs within Compaq Insight Manager,
giving system administrators the ability to monitor, manage, and control the
power environments of all network computers.
Use Compaq Power Management software to:
Manage independent UPS load segments to provide separate power
control of connected equipment.
Prioritize the timing of equipment shutdowns and reboot connected
equipment by load segment.
Shut down and start up any Compaq UPS and attached equipment,
manually or based on a user-specified schedule.
Access the Compaq Insight Manager customized alert generation
feature.
Monitor Compaq UPS units and perform UPS diagnostics.

How Compaq Power Management
Software Works
Compaq Power Management software consists of two parts:
The Console, which is a Compaq Insight Manager add-on that displays
information and allows changes to system settings by communicating
with Agents. The Console is used to configure communications port
setup, alert handling, shutdown timing, restart delays, and regularly
scheduled shutdowns. The Console runs on the management station for
the network.
The UPS Management Agent, which is installed on every managed
server or workstation connected to a Compaq UPS. UPS Management
Agents send data to the power management software Console using the
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

Part Number: 306157-005 File Name: b-ch1 Overview.doc Last Saved On: 6/20/01 12:33 AM
Compaq Power Management software constantly observes the power
environment of each Compaq UPS. Should a utility power failure or other
significant power problem occur, the Compaq UPS places the connected
systems on battery power and CPM software issues an alert to the system
administrator’s personal computer (PC) using SNMP. As the power event
continues, CPM software begins a prioritized system shutdown (based on user
settings or default settings), saving work-in-progress throughout the network,
and preserving files that have not yet been saved to a permanent storage
medium. Compaq Power Management software responds to the alert as
programmed by the user.
Working in conjunction with CPM software, the Compaq UPS can be
configured to extend runtimes for critical devices. The receptacles on the rear
panel of the Compaq UPS are divided into two or more groups, called load
segments. (Tower 700 Series UPS models have only one load segment.) Each
load segment can be controlled independently. By shutting down one load
segment, connected to less critical equipment, the runtime for more critical
equipment is extended, thereby providing additional protection.
CPM software also facilitates a prioritized startup for connected equipment. In
addition, the power-scheduling feature allows for scheduled on and off times,
which promotes energy and power conservation.
By communicating with your UPS, the Compaq Power Management software
Agent monitors the status of input utility power, output load, and the condition
of the hardware. If external power is lost (or insufficient to support the UPS
battery charge for an extended time), the Agent begins an orderly shutdown of
your system based on pre-specified criteria. The Agent saves work-in-progress
and logs all significant power and battery events.
CD Contents
The Compaq Power Management software CD should contain the following
programs:
Compaq Power Management software a Compaq Insight Manager
add-on that provides intelligent manageability of your Compaq UPS
units
LanSafe III software a UPS management program for networked
environments that are not running Compaq Insight Manager
Compaq UPS Load Segment Configurator Utility allows the mapping
of multiple load segments to an individual server

Compaq UPS Load Segment Configurator
To allow two or more servers to control the load segments on the UPS, use the
Compaq UPS Load Segment Configurator utility software. The Compaq UPS
Load Segment Configurator allows the user to map load segments to
individual servers, when connected to one of the following:
A Compaq Multi-Server UPS Card for option slot UPS models.
The Compaq Six Port Card for Compaq UPS XR models.
The UPS Load Segment Configurator runs in the Windows 95, Windows 98,
NT 4.0, or windows 2000 environments.
IMPORTANT: The UPS Load Segment Configurator must be loaded and run before
installing Compaq Power Management software on any of the servers.
For more information on the Multi-Server UPS Card for option slot UPS
models and the Six Port Card for UPS XR models, see Appendix B, “Compaq
UPS Options.”
Installing the Console on the System
Administrator’s Workstation
IMPORTANT: Before installing the Console, you must have Compaq Insight Manager
installed and operational on your management workstation.
The Console can only be installed on machines running Windows 95,
Windows 98, NT 4.0, or Windows 2000.
There are two ways to install the Console into Compaq Insight Manager
(CIM):

UPS Groups
If multiple systems are receiving power through the same UPS, but only one
computer is able to exchange information with the UPS through the
communications cable, it is still possible to control power to all connected
systems with the implementation of a UPS group.
In a UPS Group, one of the attached computers (the Controller) can monitor
the UPS and relay information and commands to the other attached computers
(Members) over the network.
To create a UPS group:
1. During the UPS Management Agent installation, click Yes, then click
Continue.
