Figure 120. UPS Shutdown and Restart Settings
Use Case #2
You want to have a shutdown after a predefined time of 10 min. The shutdown must occur, even if only one
UPS is on battery.
l
The IPM default configuration is available from Settings > Shutdown > Edit Shutdown Configuration
(see Figure 121).
l
In this case, each server can have its own shutdown timer (10 min, 8 min, 6 min…). To set a predefined time
of 10 min, configure the shutdown timer for 10 min in the Edit Shutdown Configuration dialog box.
NOTE This is the default configuration on the Network Management Card (see “Use Case
#1” on page 102).
Figure 121. Edit Shutdown Configuration Dialog Box
Use Case #3
You want to start shutdown 10 min from the last detected Utility failure event. For this case, there are two
UPSs, and one UPS is redundant. In addition, all servers are shut down at the same time.
l
The Network Management Card Shutdown default configuration is available from 
UPS > Shutdown Parameters (se
e Figure 122).
l
For ConnectUPS-X Slot or ConnectUPS-BD network cards, the NMC default shutdown configuration is
available from Configuration > UPS Shutdown and Restart Settings (see Figure 120)
l
To configure this shutdown, you must set a shutdown timer of 10 min for all Network Management Cards.
In this case, the last UPS sends the shutdown order after 10 min if it runs on battery. If the last UPS never
runs on battery, the first UPS shuts down at the end of autonomy and the last UPS takes the load if it has
the capacity. Otherwise, the shutdown occurs sooner.
