Need help configuring HP R3000 XR UPS

[Vigneshwaran]

Dear all,

I have with me the above UPS model. Problem is i have installed the HP Rack & Power Mgmt application (Server & Agent) but when i do a discovery, i am unable to find the UPS. It's all in the same rack. How do i detect the UPS? Does the UPS require a network connection? Is there a way for me to enter an IP address into the UPS cos when i try to do a discovery, it asks me to enter a IP segment. Please help me, i am totally lost. Thanks in advance...

Here is the users guide for the Rack and Power Manager:
ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/products/servers/proliantstorage/power-protection/software/331371-1.pdf
Chapter 4 begins the configuration process.

The R3000 XR can also be managed via the serial interface with the Power Manager 3.0 or later software.

Since you are managing the UPS on the same rack, HP Power Manager would be the best fit application. Just make sure that when you setup the application, there is no other software running in the background using the computer's COM port.

Thanks,
