Configuring the System for UPS Support
The Power Status page provides an overview of the current power condition of
the NSS. You can set up the NSS to use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) if
one is connected directly to the UPS port on the NSS.
The Power area displays the following:
•
AC Status: The following options are available depending on the current
operating condition of the UPS. For more information about the functioning
of the UPS, refer to the UPS documentation.
-
Disconnected: A UPS is not currently connected to the NSS or has not
yet been enabled.
-
Online: A UPS is connected to the NSS and is enabled. The NSS is
deriving power from the mains power.
-
On Battery: The NSS is currently deriving its power from the UPS
battery.
•
Battery Status: The percentage of power still available is also listed and is
color-coded according to the amount of battery remaining.
NOTE:
When the UPS power goes to low
battery, a signal is sent via the USB port on the
NSS and a shutdown of the NSS is initiated.
Make sure that the UPS has enough reserve
power at this point to sustain the NSS through
the shutdown (approximately 5 minutes).
