Did you know?
The IBM 3000VA UPS has a bright, easily customizable, and graphical LCD display that lets you configure the device and displays important UPS status information in one of nine languages (English, French, German, Spanish, Russian, Korean, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese). The UPS is exceptionally easy to manage and an ideal solution for standardization across the global enterprise. This UPS enhances system availability with Advanced Battery Management (ABM) technology, which significantly extends battery service life, allows individual control of receptacle groups to maximize run time for critical devices in the event of a prolonged power outage, and provides a real-time clock that enables precise shutdown and power up of systems in a preferred sequence, and records specific power-related occurrences for more accurate trending and data analyses. The IBM 3000VA UPS integrates with IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager to help improve energy management.

About uninterruptible power supplies
An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is a device that acts as a defensive barrier between electronic equipment and incoming power problems. It conditions, regulates, and filters out power disturbances to ensure a clean power source for IT equipment. A UPS also provides battery backup in the event of a power failure. In today’s high availability server environments, unplanned power outages or line quality irregularities can have a considerable financial impact on all sized businesses. The typical utility power is 99.9% available, but that means that there can be almost 9 hours of downtime a year, not to mention brown-outs and other power quality problems.
Selecting the right IBM UPS can help protect against these potentially costly incidents.

IBM UPS Manager Software
The UPS comes with the IBM UPS Manager software. The management software provides up-to-date graphics of UPS power and system data and power flow. It also gives you a complete record of critical power events, and notifies you of important UPS or power information. If there is a power outage and the UPS battery power becomes low, the software can automatically shut down the system to protect the data before the UPS shutdown occurs. Figure 9 shows normal operation using the IBM UPS Manager. The input voltage is 122V, which is within the acceptable range, and is shown in the left pane. The output voltage of the UPS is 121V and is also within the acceptable range. The battery is in “floating” mode, which is the second stage of the Eaton Advanced Battery Management (ABM) three-stage charging technology.

Figure 9. IBM UPS Manager normal status window
Figure 10 shows that the utility power supply has failed and that the UPS is now operating on battery. The UPS Manager software indicates that there is 10 minutes of battery time available based on the current load.

Figure 10. IBM UPS Manager warning status window
Figure 11 shows the event notification window where you can configure how you (and other users) want to be notified when certain events occur.

Figure 11. Event Notification window

IBM Environmental Monitoring Probe (EMP)
The Environmental Monitoring Probe (EMP) (part number 46M4113) is used to report local temperature and humidity values and make that information available to management tools such as IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager (AEM). The EMP connects to the UPS via the Network Management Card. The EMP is shown in Figure 12.

Figure 12. IBM Environmental Monitoring Probe (EMP)
The Environmental Monitoring Probe has the following characteristics:

• It connects to the Network Management Card (NMC) settings/sensor connection.
• Its temperature and humidity thresholds are easily set to trigger alarm notifications or shut down the protected system.
• Its status can be monitored from the IBM Systems Director AEM or from the Network Management Card web interface.
• It measures temperatures between 0 and 80°C (32 and 176°F) with an accuracy of ±1°C.
• It measures relative humidity between 10 and 90% with an accuracy of ±5%.
• It can be located away from the UPS with a CAT5 network cable (up to 20 m (65.6 ft)).
• Its user-selectable alarm thresholds enable you to define acceptable temperature or humidity limits.
• It allows email notification through SMTP.

IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager

IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager (AEM) provides an array of new features that allow power and thermal trending analysis for improved power management. AEM collects power information for each device attached to an IBM UPS, presenting a more complete view of energy usage within the data center.

The IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager (AEM) helps:

• Collect power information from each device attached to an IBM UPS, thus presenting a more complete view of energy usage.
• With server consolidation plans, because of the increased server and rack power densities that have driven the requirement for advanced power management solutions.
• In combination with the optional Environmental Monitoring Probe, AEM enables cross-platform power and thermal trending analysis for improved power management. This configuration allows IT and facility managers to manage data centers for optimal energy efficiency, migrate workloads to eliminate hot spots, and transfer work from underutilized systems to conserve energy.
