Protection: shutting down servers
To ensure the integrity of the system and the data, a computer
operating system must be shut down in the correct sequence.
Dedicated shutdown software must be installed on the servers
to execute various functions before the power supply is cut off.
These functions include:
• executingascripttocloseapplicationsrunningontheserver;
• initiatingashutdownsequenceorhibernationafterapre-
settimeoutorjustbeforetotalbatterydischarge;
• rebootingtheoperatingsystemautomaticallyormanually

• showingUPSalertstotheuser.
The Network Shutdown Module can be used to carry out actions
selectively for redundant UPS systems (servers with multiple power
supplies, paralleled UPSs, etc.) to provide the highest availability and
data integrity for the most critical data. Eaton Network Shutdown
Modules operate equally well with Web/SNMP card and SNMP
proxy systems and can easily be configured remotely via a browser.
Additional functions
Individual outlet socket control
Many systems from Eaton have individual output receptacles for
turning groups of devices on and off. This feature is particularly
useful for:
• sheddingnon-criticalsystemswhenthereisapowercut;
• definingstart-upsequences;
• individual management of several IT systems connected to a
central UPS.
Remote on/off control
As an entire UPS or some of its outlets can be turned on and off
remotely, it becomes a smart IT equipment switch. This function
makes it possible, for example, to restart a locked-up hardware
device from a remote site. Outlet control can be automatic or
manually controlled locally or remotely.
Saving energy function
This function can be used to program shutdown and restart
sequences for all UPS-protected devices. For example,
workstations, printers, network devices and selected servers can
be shut down and powered off outside of business hours.
