Powerware Software and Connectivity
Power management software unifies and centralizes UPS management Bundled with every
Powerware 9910 UPS, Powerware LanSafe power management software gives you control and visibility
over all your UPS systems, using an intuitive, graphical interface and SNMP (Simple Network
Management Protocol). You can securely monitor UPS and battery performance over your LAN or the
Web, establish prioritized shutdown of network devices and client/server applications, test all networked
UPS systems from one node, analyze trends and network conditions, and stay informed of potential power
problems by pager and e-mail.
Seamlessly integrate UPSs into the IBM Director Management Console with Powerware
Extensions for IBM Director Management System
Powerware Extensions allow administrators to monitor UPSs in the network, in real-time and obtain
advance notice on critical elements of server power management, such as UPS battery status, load level,
temperature and alarms for battery replacement. Monitor, diagnose, configure, set alarms, schedule self-
tests, check battery, gather inventory information, and control Powerware UPSs network wide from a
single console within IBM Director.
Connectivity options offer maximum flexibility
Connectivity options are available to suit nearly any communication requirement. The Powerware are
equipped with an RS-232 serial communication port, some with built-in USB port to interface with power
management software. You can customize your UPS by adding any of the following X-Slot interface
options for other types of communication:
ConnectUPS Web/SNMP Interface Card (FC 2934) enables direct control and
monitoring in SNMP-based networks, plus the ability to monitor UPS status and
meters through a Web browser (includes built-in switch hub). Use with IBM
POWER Systems (AIX, Linux), p5/System p server, OpenPower, or System x
server with virtualization LPARs and/or Network (Web server) connection (UPS as
a node).
Relay-Serial Card and Cable Kit (FC 2939) provides DB-9 and DB-25 serial
interface between the UPS and IBM POWER Systems (IBM i (i5/OS)), System i
(AS/400) server and Serial Server (Microsoft Windows, Linux, AIX, or other
operating systems).
Includes:
One (1) UPS to Server (i, i5, System i, iSeries, AS/400 type) communication cable
DB-25 to DB-9 (30’/9.1m). Requires IBM provided #1827 interface cable.
One (1) UPS to Server (serial) communication cable DB-9 to DB-9 (6’/1.8m).
