Appendix C
Configuring the OS for the PowerTrust UPS
Introduction
Introduction
Software running on the protected system can monitor the status of the PowerTrust UPS if
the following conditions are met:
1. The UPS is connected to the protected system via an RS-232 connection.
2. The operating system is HP-UX version 9.04 (or higher) or MPE/iX 4.7 (or higher).
3. The operating system configuration is modified to recognize the UPS.
If the PowerTrust UPS is not added to the computer's configuration table, the UPS will
still perform power conditioning and supply battery backup, but there are two limitations:
1. The error message information in Appendix A, “HP-UX UPS Monitor Error Messages,”
and Appendix B, “MPE/iX UPS Monitor Error Messages,” will not display on the system
console and logfile.
2. The computer system will not be able to respond to impending power failures.
