Introduction 6
Introduction
Overview
The HP UPS Network Module works with HP Power Protector software to monitor, manage, and protect
power environments. The UPS Network Module can send email and text notification messages to configured
recipients and alert traps to specified SNMP management programs, such as HP Systems Insight Manager,
or used as a stand-alone management system.
NOTE:Text notification on mobile phones require the use of an external provider that converts
emails into text notifications on mobile phones.
The HP UPS Network Module includes:
•HP UPS Network Module web interface—A graphical interface that is accessed with a web browser
•HP UPS Network Module Configuration Menu (on page 48)—A text-based menu that is accessed
through a terminal emulation session
For a detailed list of supported UPSs, see the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/rackandpower).
Features
The UPS Network Module is a minislot card that requires UPSs equipped with a minislot. The UPS Network
Module:
•Monitors the status, performs UPS diagnostics, and transmits periodic reports.
•Manages independent UPS load segments to provide separate power control of connected equipment.
•Prioritizes the timing of equipment shutdown, and reboots connected equipment by load segment.
•Delays restart by load segment after a power outage to sequence the startup of system components.
•Shuts down and reboots the UPS and attached equipment, based on a user-specified schedule.
•Sends customized email, broadcast, and text notification messages and SNMP traps.
•Displays logs for analysis.
•Includes enhanced HP SIM integration.
•Includes multi-language support.
•Supports IPv4 and IPv6.
•Provides automatic date and time adjustment through an NTP server.
•Supports fast Ethernet 10/100 MB compatibility with auto-negotiation on the RJ-45 network port.
•Allows for installation while the UPS is online, to maintain the highest system availability.
When used in conjunction with the UPS Network Module, HP Power Protector:
•Manages an automatic, graceful shutdown of attached equipment during a utility power failure.
•Issues computer commands at power failure.

Introduction 7
•Supports network-attached server communications.
•Supports a customizable Events script.
•Provides redundancy feature support.
•Is compatible with the R1500 G3 UPS, R/T3000 G2 UPS, R5000 UPS and R7000 UPS.
For more information, see the HP Power Protector User Guide on the HP website
(http://www.hp.com/go/rackandpower).
HP Power Protector overview
HP Power Protector is a UPS software management application that can be used standalone without the UPS
Network Module in an Administrator/Client configuration or with the UPS Network Module in a Client
configuration only.
The HPPP Client runs on a local or network server and allows the UPS Network Module to gracefully shut
down the operating system of that server and optionally run a script during power failure. Install the HPPP
Client on any machine that is powered by the UPS and any machine that the UPS Network Module uses to
initiate a shutdown command.
For more information, see the HP Power Protector User Guide on the HP website
(http://www.hp.com/go/rackandpower).
You can also use a third-party SNMP manager to monitor the power protection. For more information, see
"SNMP monitoring (on page 53)."
Supported hardware configurations
The UPS Network Module can be attached in any of the following configurations:
•Configuration A (on page 7)—One or more HPPP Clients are powered by a UPS and communicate with
one UPS Network Module over the network.
•Configuration B (on page 8)—One or more HPPP Clients are redundantly powered by two UPSs and
communicate with two UPS Network Modules over the network.
Configuration A
This figure illustrates one or more HPPP Clients are powered by a UPS and communicates with one UPS
Network Module over the network to begin a graceful shutdown in the event of a power failure or other
configured shutdown events.
NOTE: Up to 35 HPPP Clients can be managed by one HP UPS Network Module.

Introduction 10
Quick installation and setup overview
1. Install the UPS Network Module ("Installing the UPS Network Module" on page 12) and configure the
network settings.
2. Access the web interface.
3. Configure the power fail settings using the Shutdown Parameters screen (on page 35).
4. (optional) Configure additional settings using the menus under Settings (on page 29).
5. Install and configure the HPPP Client on all servers to be protected by the UPS. After all Clients are
configured at the servers, they are automatically added by the UPS Network Module and appear on the
Notified Applications screen (on page 42).
