Compaq UPS T1500h

Compaq UPS T1500h ... critical data links. Compaq's T1500 Tower UPS provides voltage correction, surge protection and instant-on battery power for systems up to 1440V/960W. Protect data and equipment against disaster and keep the power coming for applications that cannot be allowed to fail.

This UPS is a high voltage model that supplies a DB-9 serial communication port; network/modem protection is provided with an in/out RJ45 jack for 10Base-T network cable or single RJ11 jack. This line-interactive floor-mount model UPS protects connected equipment several ways. First, it protects against spikes and surges to 330 Joules with a response time of less than a nanosecond. Second, it monitors incoming power with Buck and Double Boost voltage regulation to raise voltage during brownouts and to step down high voltage. Third, its network-grade line conditioning protects data from line noise contamination. The front panel features simple icons and LEDs to indicate power status, battery charge, load level, site wiring fault and other diagnostic information. Visual and audible alarms alert users to situations that require attention. Protection continues when the power is out. A hot-swappable, user-replaceable battery is instantly on when power fails. The battery provides 15 minutes of backup time under a typical load to give users a chance to save important files.

Compaq employs Enhanced Battery management which doubles the service life of the UPS battery. This three-stage charging technology avoids the trickle charge method that can prematurely age a battery. A typical battery may expire in 3 to 6 years, and is easily replaced through the UPS front panel. The T1500 UPS is ready for network protection with its DB-9 communication port and the in/out RJ45 jack for 10Base-T network cable. The enclosed Compaq Power Management Software pack includes driver/agents for NT, OS/2, NetWare, UNIX and LanSafe III. This comprehensive Windows-based power management utility works seamlessly with Compaq Insight Manager. It lets network administrators customize control over monitoring, power management, startup/shutdown and diagnostic tools. During an extended power loss, the software initiates unattended, prioritized shutdown of client workstations and multiple servers. This UPS also features a slot to add one of two UPS option cards. The multi-server UPS card provides individual serial communication ports for up to three servers, and allows computers to be mapped to load segment groups to extend battery life and manage multiple platforms with one UPS. The scalable UPS card combines up to three UPS through communication serial ports to create a single, large UPS to provide increased power levels to connected loads.
