    How can I monitor multiple servers with PowerChute software when using one UPS?

    This document only pertains to Symmetra, Matrix, and Smart-UPS SU and SUA models.

    There is only one serial port on each Smart-UPS model UPS that operates in "Smart" signaling mode. All Smart-UPS models
    also have a Smart Slot available for optional accessories. For Smart-UPS there are two options for shutting down multiple
    servers when a UPS goes to battery.

    The first option is to purchase an APC Interface Expander - part number AP9607 (provides additional 2 ports) or AP9207
    (provides additional 7 ports). You may also daisy chain up to four of the AP9207s, allowing 32 total servers to be monitored off
    of one UPS. This solution requires the purchase of additional APC basic signaling serial cables - part number 940-

    Note: Smart-UPS models SMT, SMX, and SURTDs do not allow for the use of the AP9607 and AP9207.

    This solution is the communication across a physical serial connection between the UPS and attached servers for use
    PowerChute Business Edition (PCBE) software. To check which operating systems are compatible with PCBE, please check th
    Software & Firmware download page.

    If you prefer not to have additional serial cables cluttering your server room, you could opt for the network shutdown solution.
    This option requires the purchase of APC part # AP9617, AP9618, AP9619, AP9630 or AP9631- the Network Management
    Card. By installing the Network Management Card (NMC) into the UPS and configuring an IP address for the card, you make th
    UPS a node on your network. You will then download the free PowerChute Network Shutdown (PCNS) software from
    www.apc.com/tools/download and install it on any computer you wish to shutdown gracefully during a power event.
    system compatibility with PCNS is also listed on our software downloads page.

    When the UPS goes to battery, it broadcasts a message to any computer with PCNS installed. Options and parameters are
    easily configured through the web interface. You can remotely configure the servers for shutdown and remotely monitor the UP
    with the NMC option.
