Multiple usvs

Anonymous user · ‎2021-06-30

Hi!

I have a file server that is attched to 2 USVs.
USV1 has a runtime remaining 25 minutes and USV2 has runtime remaining 13 minutes.
Low battery duration for both is 10 minutes.

when the power goes out which USV will notify the server to shutdown?
Thanks in advance.

DK,

I'm assuming you mean UPS's, not USV's.

What you would need is the Management Card (which based on your other post I am going to assume you have), installed in each UPS (So in theory, two NMC's). From there you would do a PowerChute Network Shutdown Custom Install.

When the UPS's go on battery, they will both send signals to the attached servers (if configured properly). The Servers, if they are just set to shutdown at the default low battery signal time, will wait until the SECOND UPS has signaled Low Battery Shutdown. It will ignore the first shutdown command and wait for the second.
