27UPS Network Management Card 2 User’s Guide
Turn back on: Specify whether the UPS will turn on at a specific day and time, Never (the UPS must
be turned on manually), or Immediately (the UPS will turn on after waiting 6 minutes and the time
specified as the Return Delay, see “Return Delay”).
For an outlet group only, specify the group to shut down by selecting the appropriate button.
Signal PowerChute Network Shutdown Clients: Specify whether to notify PowerChute clients, see
“PowerChute Network Shutdown clients”.
For the UPS option only: synchronized shutdowns
Schedule a synchronized shutdown. When the UPS which initiates the shutdown is an enabled member of
a Synchronized Control Group (SCG), then all members of the SCG shut down.
Always schedule the shutdowns through the same member of the SCG. Each UPS in the SCG must have a
network connection at the time of the shutdown. See “Synchronized Control of your UPS devices”.
Caution: Do NOT schedule shutdowns through more than one group member. Such scheduling may
cause unpredictable results.
This option enables you to use the PowerChute Network Shutdown utility to shut down a maximum
of 50 servers on the network that use a client version of the utility.
Firmware Update screen
Path: UPS > Configuration > Firmware Update
This option is not available for all UPS devices.
This update refers to the firmware on the UPS. Don’t confuse this with an NMC firmware upgrade
(see “File Transfers”)!
Follow these steps to update the UPS firmware. Your UPS outlet must be turned off.
1. If a UPS firmware update file is not already loaded onto the card, then FTP into the card and put the
update file into the
upsfw directory. The NMC may abort the FTP firmware transfer if it detects that
the update file is corrupted.
Here's an example of loading an update file using the DOS FTP command:
$ ftp <NMC Network Address Here>
Connected to <NMC Network Address>.
