What are Outlet Groups?
Outlet grouping is available on some UPS devices only. To determine whether your UPS device
supports outlet groups, see your UPS documentation.
The available settings differ based on the UPS device.
Main Outlet Groups . Some UPS devices provide AC utility power to one Main Outlet Group. The Main
Outlet Group controls the distribution of power to all Switched Outlet Groups (if present) for the UPS.
• If the Main Outlet Group is off, the Switched Outlet Groups cannot be turned on.
• If you turn off the Main Outlet Group, the UPS turns off the Switched Outlet Groups before it turns off
the Main Outlet Group.
• To turn on a Switched Outlet Group, the UPS must turn on the Main Outlet Group first.
Switched Outlet Groups . Each Switched Outlet can perform actions independently. You can start or stop
these outlets in sequence and also restart devices plugged into these outlets.
