  1. Management Products &Remote Monitoring Service Providing the Total Solution

  2. Product Overview

  3. Current Products • Management Cards and Chassis: • Environmental Monitoring Card: Temperature, humidity, and contact monitoring • Out-of-Band Management Card: Remote UPS management via modem • Relay I/O Card: UPS control through a simple dry contact interface • 2-Port Interface Expansion Card: Multiple server shutdown • Single & Triple Expansion Chassis: Allows use of single or multiple SmartSlots with one UPS

  4. Current Products • Other Management Products: • 8-Port Interface Expander: Multiple server shutdown • PowerView: Real time UPS monitoring without use of a PC • Isolated Extension Cable: Extends communication up to 100 meters • Remote Power-Off Device: Works with an EPO to power-off an APC UPS • Environmental Monitoring Unit: Temperature, humidity, and contact monitoring without a UPS

  5. Environmental Monitor Card (AP9612TH) • The Environmental Monitoring Card is a UPS accessory for network administrators to monitor environmental conditions in rack, computer room, and data center environments.

  6. Features & Benefits • Sensors for temperature and humidity continuously monitor environment of your valuable equipment • User-selectable thresholds allow you to decide when you need to be notified of potential environmental anomalies. • Four user-definable external inputs, for example: fire, water, smoke, physical security,or other external conditions

  7. Customer Application • A MIS/Network Manager monitoring equipment in a remote location is concerned that a change in environmental conditions may cause damage so he/she would like to proactively monitor the equipment’s surrounding environment.

  8. Out-of-Band Management Card (AP9608) • The Out-of-Band Management Card is a UPS accessory for network administrators to manage UPSs remotely via modem.

  9. Features & Benefits • Paging Capabilities • Out-of-Band Card can dial two pagers to alert users about potential problems at specific sites • Security Features • User-selectable password protection • Dial-back security • Remote UPS Status Display • Data and Event Logging

  10. Customer Application • A Network Administrator, responsible for keeping multiple servers up and running in more than one location, wants to be notified of power problems in the UPS, should they arise and wants to have the ability to solve the problem remotely.

  11. Relay I/O Card (AP9610) • The Relay I/O card is a UPS accessory for Network Administrators to control and monitor power through a dry-contact interface in rack, computer room, and data center environments.

  12. Features & Benefits • Monitors through a simple, dry-contact interface • Four user-definable inputs/actions trigger up to six possible outputs/reactions • Remotely startup or stop equipment and reboot hung or unstable devices via dry contact • Can wire the UPS to do the following actions: • Turn on • Turn off • Initiate Self-Test • Shutdown

  13. Customer Application • A Building/Network Administrator currently has a relay signaling management architecture and would like to interface their UPS to a building security system and remotely receive UPS status information without going through a network.

  14. 8-Port/2-Port Interface Expanders (AP9207) & (AP9607) • The Interface Expander provides data protection as well as graceful shutdown and reboot for multiple servers on one UPS.

  15. Features & Benefits • Connects multiple servers. Up to 8 (1 Smart Port – 7 Simple) with the 8-Port and up to 3 (1 Smart on UPS – 2 Simple) with the 2-Port SmartSlot Card • Delays shutdown of the UPS until all servers have shut down gracefully • Can be connected to a modem or terminal for sending and receiving status and control information from the UPS • When coupled with PowerChute plus software, one server can monitor the UPS, report power conditions and provide actual UPS data (input voltage, load, battery capacity) through the Smart port.

  16. Customer Application • A Network Manager in charge of server rooms wishes to manage multiple OS-independent file and database servers using a single UPS.

  17. Single & Triple Expansion Chassis (AP9600) & (AP9604) • The Expansion Chassis gives network administrators one, or three additional slots respectively, in Smart-UPS, Matrix-UPS, Symmetra Power Array, and Silcon UPSs to customarily monitor and manage their UPS.

  18. Features & Benefits *REAR VIEW • Allows the use of multiple SmartSlot cards to create a unique solution for each, individual customer • Offers an opportunity for various forms of functionality and manageability of equipment SmartSlot Housings Monitoring Port 1 2 Optional Power 3 Status LED To UPS

  19. Customer Application • A Facility operator running multiple remote locations which house temperature critical devices, must be notified of any temperature and/or humidity changes, unauthorized entry, pipe bursts, fire, or cut in utility. With the Triple Chassis he can combine a Web/SNMP Card, Out-of-Band Management Card (for redundancy) and an Environmental Monitoring Card to view all of this necessary information.

  20. PowerView (AP9215) • PowerView is a hand-held control panel for network administrators that configures and controls UPSs in rack, computer room, and data center environments.

  21. Features & Benefits • PowerView can be used to provide real time monitoring of the UPS without the use of a computer • Mounted outside a rack, four LED indicators display the operational status of the connected UPS • Password security ensures that unauthorized users cannot tamper with important configuration information • Mass configure multiple UPSs with one PowerView

  22. Customer Application • MIS or Data Center manager has a remote room housing multiple UPSs that he/she would like to monitor the status of, but the manager does not want to add another PC to the overall solution.

  23. Isolated Extension Cable (AP9825) • The Isolated Extension Cable (IEC) allows UPS communication between servers running PowerChute and APC UPS equipment, to be extended up to 100 meters.

  24. Features & Benefits • Boosts signals and reduces noise by using a current loop scheme • Provides an isolation barrier that prevents damage from ground loops • Works with CAT-5 cables up to 100 meters in length • Requires no configuration • Supports all the functionality normally available to and from the UPS

  25. Customer Application • A facility manager housing servers and UPSs in separate closets or rooms yet needs communication between the two.

  26. Remote Power-Off Device (AP9830) • The Remote Power-Off device immediately turns off the output of a connected APC UPS in computer room and data center environments.
