Network Management Card question

[Anonymous user]

I have 6 UPS's with AP9617 management cards installed and configured. When you bring up the URL to each card it allows me to shut down and restart the UPS's. Is there a card, software or APC solution that allows me to shut down specific ports and restart them instead of the entire UPS?

Just trying to save a drive into the data center when I can't get into the server remotely. Would like to just restart the UPS power ports of that server that is affected.

Tried doing a search and look on the products page. Hoping I can buy another management card or something that isn't going to be really expensive.

Thx for any help or input.

You can buy a [switched rack PDU|http://www.apc.com/products/family/index.cfm?id=70], which has controllable outlets. Some (though not many) UPSes also have the option of controllable outlet groups, like the [SUM1500RMXL2U|http://www.apc.com/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=SUM1500RMXL2U]. The management cards cannot control individual outlets in the UPS, though.
