Chapter 1 Overview 1.2 Features
1.2
Features
This section explains the features of the power synchronized unit and the AC sensor unit. Powering the ETERNUS DX S2 on and off can be synchronized with a server by connecting to the Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) unit to which the server is connected. As well as the UPS unit to which the server is connected (referred to as "server UPS unit" in the remainder of this manual), the power synchronized unit can be connected to a unit that can control the output of an AC outlet. The sizes of the power synchronized unit and the AC sensor unit are 1U. These units can be installed in a 19-inch rack for the server or the ETERNUS DX S2. Two server UPS units can be connected to manage power synchronization in a standard configuration. By adding an AC sensor unit, up to 16 server UPS units can be connected. By serially connecting each AC sensor unit, the distance between a server UPS unit and a power synchronized unit can be extended by up to 100m. By cascading power synchronized units, the power of up to eight ETERNUS DX S2s can be controlled. A redundant configuration is available by using two power synchronized units. Power synchronization starts when the power synchronized unit is connected to the server UPS unit and the ETERNUS DX S2 by cables. Connection procedures can be performed while the server UPS unit and the ETERNUS DX S2 are operating. The status of the power synchronized unit and the status of the AC power output from the server UPS unit are displayed on the LED. If an error occurs, tracking the error and error recovery can be performed based on the LED information.

Chapter 1 Overview 1.6 Power Management for Power Synchronization
1.6
Power Management for Power Synchronization

This section explains power management with a power synchronized unit. The power synchronized unit detects the AC power output of the target devices for power synchronization and commands the ETERNUS DX S2 to synchronize the power with the target devices. When the power synchronized unit detects the AC power output of any server UPS unit, the power synchronized unit commands the ETERNUS DX S2 to turn on. When the power synchronized unit does not detect AC power output in any of the server UPS units, the power synchronized unit commands the ETERNUS DX S2 to turn off. The server UPS unit must have a function in the management software that controls the AC power output according to when the server powers on and off. The server UPS unit must have one unused outlet to connect to the power synchronized unit. Connect the power cords of the ETERNUS DX S2 and the power synchronized unit to a UPS (UPS for the ETERNUS DX S2) that uses a power line that is not the same as the server UPS unit. This enables power to be supplied or stopped according to the scheduled operations and the power failure settings of the server.
