The Multi-Server Card provides out-of-band serial communication
with LanSafe software when Ethernet connectivity is not available
or required. Load Segment control is mapped to specific serial ports
on the card to provide selective control over critical loads. The Relay
Interface Cards provide simple alarm notification via isolated contacts
to signal remote annunciation panels or security systems in the event
of a change of state in UPS operation.
The Expansion Chassis is a three-slot peripheral device that
expands communication methods for a UPS through its support for
additional X-Slot cards. The Expansion Chassis is pre-configured
with the Powerware Modbus Card, which serves as the interface to
Modbus networks and as the integral communications controller for
the remaining two slots.
