Compaq UPS

[Sven Geschke]

Hi folks

I recently bought a Compaq server rack on eBay that contained a pretty heavy Compaq UPS (supposedly 1800 watts) alongside with a Proliant 5000 R and other stuff. The UPS seems to work fine, but i didn't get any documetation or software with it. The serial number of the UPS is A00228945, but searching the Compaq/HP website produced no info. Does anybody know where to get information about this UPS (especially about running it under Linux)?

Sven,

Have you got any further information on the UPS, such as any other markings, size, port connections etc. I have a lot of old documentation but not sure which unit you have there.

Hi

Thanks for all the quick replies.
The UPS is a 19" rackmount-unit, weighing about 150 lbs. and seems to have been manufactured by a company named "Deltec". Their sticker says "PRR 2200". Obviously the product was available in Europe (I bought the complete rack from T-Systems, which is a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom). The front of the unit is plain besides the status LEDs and only has a Compaq logo on it. I've attached a quick picture of it (please excuse the poor quality, I've had to lay down in front of the rack to shoot it) :-)

I have no idea which UPS it could be.
Did the SN came from the little label right in your pic?
You don´t find any label with the PartNumber on i

[Sven Geschke]

Carsten: Yep, that's the number.

In the meantime I managed to get LanSafe III (4.17) to communicate with the UPS, using the settings for "Legacy Compaq". So the bottom line is: Still don't know WHAT it is, but I've got it running anyway -- case closed! :-)

Thanks for all your help

Deltec was the OEM manufacturer of the Compaq UPS devices.
