How It Works
The Compaq Power Management Software Agent runs on each Compaq computer and Compaq
server supported by a Compaq UPS.As long as the equipment is running,the agent observes
the power environment of the UPS.Access to Compaq Power Management Software is through
the UPS icon within the Compaq Insight Manager Console.
Should utility power fail or another significant power problem occur, the Compaq UPS
places connected servers and systems on battery power and the Compaq Power Management
Software issues an alert.The alert goes via an SNMP trap to the system administrator’s work-
station (Windows NT or Windows 95) running Compaq Insight Manager.
Compaq Power Management Software responds to the alert as programmed by the system
administrator.As the power event continues,Compaq Power Management Software begins
a prioritized system shutdown,saving all work-in-progress throughout the network.
