Selecting Drivers for a UPS
Uninterruptable power systems use a serial interface and multiplexer
drivers. Table 9-2, “UPS Configuration Requirements,” shows the
interfaces,device drivers, and device special files used for each supported
architecture.

a. HP-UX supports the following HP PowerTrust UPS models:
A2941A, A2994A, A2996A, A2997A, A2998A. The following
third-party UPS models can be used with HP computers, but do not
provide the software capabilities of HP PowerTrust models:
APPCC-600UX, APPCC-1250UX, DELT-2326/C2, DELT-2336/C2.
Not all supported models are appropriate for all computer systems.
b. Specifying mux2 causes sio, pfail, and pa to be included in the
kernel.
c. tty#p# derives from ioscan output: The numeral after tty is the
card instance for the tty class of interface card to which the device
is attached; the numeral after p is the port number of the serial
interface.
