Configuring the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> to use a UPS<br />

To configure the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> to use a UPS, select Services<br />

Configuration -> Servers and select upsd in the list <strong>of</strong> server names. Click<br />

the Configuration tab. The following window appears.<br />

The UPS Configuration window enables you to configure how the<br />

<strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> will interact with an uninterruptible power supply. The<br />

window contains the following fields.<br />

UPS Serial Port—Click the drop-down list to select the <strong>Sidewinder</strong><br />

<strong>G2</strong> port being used to monitor the UPS.<br />

If you are using a <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> Security Appliance, your system<br />

will only support COM1 port (COM2 is not supported). Therefore,<br />

you cannot enable the uninterruptible power supply (UPS) service<br />

AND connect a console directly on your <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> on the<br />

COM1 port at the same time. Doing so will cause your <strong>Sidewinder</strong><br />

<strong>G2</strong> Security Appliance to shutdown immediately. If this happens,<br />

you must do one <strong>of</strong> the following:<br />

— Disable upsd and use a serial console: Disconnect the <strong>Sidewinder</strong><br />

<strong>G2</strong> console, disable upsd using the Admin Console, and then<br />

reconnect to the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> console.<br />

— Remove the serial console and use upsd: Disconnect the<br />

<strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> console, and then connect the UPS cable.<br />

Battery Time—Specify the estimated amount <strong>of</strong> time (in seconds)<br />

that the UPS battery will last before running low. The <strong>Sidewinder</strong><br />

<strong>G2</strong> will initiate an orderly shutdown when this timer expires,<br />

regardless <strong>of</strong> the amount <strong>of</strong> battery power remaining in the UPS.<br />
